This article tells you how the three basic principles, required for building a good body, can help your blog grow. There are many other things which are required for bodybuilding, but the ones I have mentioned below are the most basic to follow. These techniques can help you drive more traffic to your blog, which in turn can be converted to sales or loyal readers.
Consistency
Consistency is very much required while building a good body. You cannot stay out of the gym for 4 days a week and get a good body. In blogging too, consistency is required. If you’re a newbie blogger, you require to post more articles per week. As you progress, you can reduce the number of posts you make. But, posting new information is very important.
Consistency will help increase blog’s readership. Not updating your blog frequently gives an image of a dead place. New content gives your readers a chance to visit your blog and this can increase your RSS subscription rate. Search engines also love to crawl new content.
If your bad at maintaining consistency, you can improve it by scheduling your posts when you get time. WordPress provides this option. You can also allow other authors to guest post on your blog. Maintain proper time frame between two successive posts.
Proper Form
Without proper form, even if you bench press 300 lbs it’s impossible to build good pecs. In blogging, you need to maintain proper form. The posts must be relevant to your niche. They must be of good quality. This will not only attract visitors to your blog, but will also help you to rank better in search engine results. Keywords are also important while writing blog posts. Focus on your main keywords and maintain the density of these keywords throughout the post.
Keep your blog’s design clean. Don’t make it too shabby with ads and affiliate products. Give your readers a chance to look at your posts. Remember even if you make 10 posts / week, and they are not up to the mark in terms of quality, then you can lose your valuable readers. So, try to make 4-5 posts / week, but make sure the quality of posts is good.
Diet
Diet is as much important as lifting weights is. Infact, diet plays about 60% role in bodybuilding. Now you must be wondering what diet plan is required for growing your blogs traffic and sales?
For your blog to get good online presence, you must be aware of little SEO techniques. You must be active on social networks.Your blog can get lots of traffic through sites social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Delicious, Reddit, etc.. Submit your sites to article directories to promote your blog posts.
Also, backlinking is necessary for a good SEO campaign. Link building helps search engines to recognize your blog and blog posts. Search engines crawl your pages via other pages. If the quality of page referring your site is high, then obviously your blog will rank higher in search engine results. Remember, you must also take care of proper anchor texts while building quality backlinks.
Remember, proper SEO, link building & social bookmarking are the supplements which well help your blog develop at a good rate.

Great analogy with body building. One of the most focussed person I’ve ever met was a body builder who was ranked 4th in Europe – he had absolute focus on his sport. And I guess to succeed with blogging the more focussed we are the more successful we’ll be! Dare to Dream!
I completely agree with you. A clear focus of your goal is important to be successful! Never give up!
Brilliant idea to match these 2 together , never thought I’d see a comparison between blogs and bodybuilding , yet I have to agree with you , it’s a FACT. I love how you spaced out your word and chose an easy to read font , I hope people in the gym will be as tidy and organized as you are on your blog.
I stumbled over here coming from a different web page and thought I should check things out. I like what I see so now i am following you. Look forward to checking out your web page again.
