    1. Come up with a catchy blog name.
    2. Get a unique topic to write about.
    3. If you can’t get a unique topic, write from a unique point of view.
    4. Know your target audience before you start blogging and write for them.
    5. Drill deep in your subject – one in-depth post is better than ten hollow ‘filler’ post.
    6. Spend time to enhance your blog template designs.
    7. If you can’t do web design, hire professional to do for you.
    8. If you can’t do web design and do not have the budget for professional, at least go buy a premium blog template.
    9. Get real readers that actually r-e-a-d your blog.
    10. Magnetic headlines improve readership, so spend more time writing a good post title.
    11. Use sub headlines to increase your blog readability.
    12. Personally I don’t emphasize that much on grammars but at least re-read your post at least once before you press the publish button.
    13. Optimize your blog for search engines (but always write for the readers first).
    14. Hosting is cheap, get your blog out of those free blogging platform.
    15. Write an ‘About’ page to introduce yourself and your blog to the new readers.
    16. People like to be heard, get in touch with your readers and reciprocal when someone comments on your blog.
    17. Leverage the power of Web2.0 media.
    18. Stumble Upon and Digg are good source of traffics, use them wisely to promote your blog.
    19. Learn about viral marketing and use it to promote your blog.
    20. Write link baiting contents.
    21. Be consistent.
    22. Even better, be prolific.
    23. Use memorable image to add value to your blog post.
    24. Make your blog the definitive resources in your niche – FAQ, how-to guides… provide all the necessary info in your topic.
    25. Learn from marketing guru Seth Godin – write and give away ebooks to build readership.
    26. Pick a fight whenever the time is right – controversy makes people talk more about you.
    27. Blog without ads for the first 12 months.
    28. Trade, buy, beg, or even steal links from related blogs and websites.
    29. Offer web functions that other blogs don’t have.
    30. Drive people to read further in your archives.
    31. Create a memorable theme for your blog .
    32. Get a unique mascot for your blog.
    33. Compile a list of 50 online tools or resources in your industries (and submit it to digg.com).
    34. Write tons of valuable guest posts in other related blogs.
    35. If you have deep pocket, run massive contest with lucrative prizes.
    36. If budget is an issue, at least run some fun contest to create some buzz.
    37. Be yourself, express your honest opinion and cut off all the ‘Me-Too’ post.
    38. Make fun of your 404 Error Page.
    39. Write list post – it’s easier to read.

    Be sure you have a GOOD content and use all the methods to advertise it then only you will be able to earn. And traffic will follow. Also, if your blog is new don't put Adsense because they might think that you just want to earn money.

    #27, Blog without ads for the first 12 months.

    That one is pretty much impossible when your goal is to make money. When you start a new blog you want to see those earnings, no matter how small, they encourage you to continue. Sure, your blog might appear more trustworthy to the public when it has no ads, but putting all that effort without any gain for an entire year? That's tough.

    Any of you guys do this?

    I wait a few weeks on a new blog. First I wait until Google has listed my blog. Then I give it a few more weeks. Then I put adsense in

    In short, unique content. The design is important, how you market is important, and how you lay out the posts are also very important, but ultimately the best blogs are the ones with good, unique content. Focus on that and the rest will follow.

    #14. Hosting is cheap, get your blog out of those free blogging platform.

    Then why do you have your "Daily Seo Tips" blog on free blogspot?

    Both are useless, they may provide you quick traffic, but not quality and these traffic never clicks ur ad nor read other blogs.

    Write some tutorials, especially ones for complete beginners. Quite often I'll dig around the first 50 results trying to find a good, well written tutorial that solves my problem.

    Put your mug shot on the about me page.

    Switch off nofollow for the comments section, at least until you're driving crazy traffic to your site.

    If you're going to use Adsense, make it secondary to the content. With some blogs, the Adsense is the first thing you notice, which is extremely offputting.
