Are You Following "Rules Of Engagement" To Get More Blog Reader Response?

Have you been blogging regularly, but not getting good reader response? Here are a few Rules of Engagement (from Virtual REBarCamp yesterday) that all of us real estate bloggers could follow for greater success:

• Ask yourself: Are you answering questions your readers have?
• Write your blog like you are talking personally with your reader
• Say you more than I
• Use bullets or lists to make it easy for your reader
• Limit blog posts to 300-500 words
• Use keywords three times (in the title, first paragraph and somewhere else)*
• Do your links go to a new window so you don't loose your reader?
• Do you link to other pages on your blog to carry a thread?
• Do you include a clear call to action?

Please leave your comments here at this blog post after your check out my other blog: www.SaratogaVoice.com. I learned a lot yesterday and still need to make some improvements, with your help. Thanks!
