Relationship is a major part of our social life and it is the only thing which is holding entire world together in a single bond. Still many people in this world do not care about having a good friendly relationship with others. Well, each person thinks differently and that’s the reason for splits, quarrels…
Blogging is also not far away from real world, relationships do play vital role in blogging. There are lots of different types of relationships involved in blogging…for ex. relationship with your readers, relationship with advertisers, and relationship with other bloggers in the world.
I’ll explain you in brief about how a friendly relation can be useful in blogging:
Relationship with your readers:
It is the first thing that you should try before doing anything else. Readers always give exposure to your blog. They’ll give free publicity to your blog. So you better keep a decent relationship with your readers and always accept their comments, suggestions with positive attitude and do take care about their comfort while replying to them. I bet it will make huge difference in your blog readership.
Relationship with Advertisers:
It’s very simple equation; if you have healthy relationship with your advertisers then you’ll get more opportunities to display their ads on your blog and will get more money from them. If they like you and your blog then they might give you some extra bonus as well as attractive offers. Isn’t it cool….? 
Relationship with fellow bloggers:
Yes! It may sound little awkward but relationship with fellow bloggers is equally or more important than anything else. You can give backlink to his blog/s and he’ll do the same and it will help you to increase your page rank and all knows that some advertisers pay good bucks for higher page rank blogs. Apart from that, you can write guest post on others blog and can take backlink from that post to your inner pages or home page. If you carry strong relationship with “big bloggers” then they might give you valuable tips on various things, they might help you in your difficulties.
Now don’t waste your time on other things because any kind of relationship is important in our life. 
I hope these small tips will help you so start working on it. Let me know your thoughts on having friendly relationship in blogging. I think you will also agree with the title of this post-Relationships Are Important!
Article writing on a blog is a skill and as a blogger I know how important it is to write articles on blog. Article is main body of your blog and we can’t just neglect it.If your blog doesn’t have new and quality content then you won’t get visitors to your blog and search engines will also refuse to send their spiders to crawl on your blog. Writing your articles on your own is an art and every blogger should have it.
Many bloggers hire some “article writing service” providing company people or individuals to write their articles by paying them per month or so and such bloggers update their content on regular basis with the help of others. If the articles are of decent quality then most of time it results in good traffic and everyone knows that traffic is also equal to money. So these bloggers are just concentrated on more targeted/potential visitors which will convert well and provide money to blog owner.
I’m not totally against of it because many bloggers are just blogging to make money online and nothing else. These bloggers always forget that visitors are precious and they are assets of blog. Some bloggers don’t even care about what their visitors want? and they just keep on adding weird content to their blogs, this happens due to the less or no relation with blog visitors and main reason behind all this thing is not writing on your own.
Blogs are meant to put your own thoughts and not others who don’t even know about blog and its visitors. If you are a genuine blogger then you must know what a blog requires and importance of writing your content with your own style. Only true blogger knows how to write content and he always takes its visitor’s feedbacks and response them time to time. Getting visitors is also important thing but it is not so difficult. There are many sites available on the internet which provides service of paid visitors. To get visitors you just have to pay them some $$ and visitors will come as many as you want.
So getting visitors is easy thing these days but getting real visitors and quality readers is difficult but not impossible. If you blog about good things and valuable issues in the world then certainly visitors will come and remain readers for long term as far as you publish nice articles on regular basis in your own voice and own writing skills and it really makes a lot difference. Many bloggers, especially from non-English speaking countries fears about writing articles in English and prefers to go for such paid article writers. I can only say to such people that it is important to have self belief in you and once you have it then nothing is impossible in this world.
First few days or months, you’ll get difficulties but once you get the command on it then you will find it very easy and you will be happy about it for sure. It’s similar to the situation of new swimmer in the swimming pool; new swimmer requires time and practice with perfection to become a pro-swimmer. So just dive in pool and write articles on your own in simple and pleasant language. Don’t depend on so called professional article writing service providers because you never know how and when they will burn your pockets.
Keep blogging on your own and don’t forget to leave your experience below. Cheers!

Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Individual articles on a blog are called “blog posts,” “posts” or “entries”. A person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”. A blog comprises text, hypertext, images, and links (to other web pages and to video, audio and other files).
