Be Creative In Your Blogging Ideas – Inside Your Blog
Well, and if we look up inside your blog?
There are basically two, yes there are more, but I want to focus on the following:
* Read carefully the comments you receive on your blog and you’ll have blog topics galore for your future posts.
* And the other inspiration source – it is the cherry of the cake for today: your stats! Yes your statistics deep – inside of your blog or an external source like Google Analytics is the answer. Breath, breath again to meditate and entering in Zen-mood to have full potential to examine the data of your statistics.
Blog Topic Ideas from Stats
How often do you check them?
- Several times per day hey – you can be a stats-addict, stop! and do some more productive like writing or visit other blogs.
- Almost never – hey do you really care about your blog? You’ve no idea how is going there, you’d treat your blog like your baby constantly growing.
- The ideal-zone is verifying your stats some times per week to improve your SEO (search engine optimization) in other words: to adapt your blog according to your popular keywords, you’re receiving visits frequently from search engines.
Check out my weekly roundups and you’ll find articles about SEO and link building. In most of the cases they teach you how to research, analyze and improve the keywords to bring power to your blog.
- On the other side, your stats give full information for your mind.
As an example I’ve gathered 18 long tail keywords from people who have visited my blog.
As you’ll see they can inspire you for posterior posts or to answer them, this will be the case.

You are a master at responses! I need to get some ideas for my blogs and these will be very helpful, I am still setting them up so I don’t have comments to reply to but I think if I start reading a lot of other niche-related blogs the comments on those pages will hopefully help me come up with content. Thanks for the great tips.
Great info looking to get back into my blogging soon and I’m really looking forward to it.
You really right about all the things you mentioned here Gera, Blog Ideas can be found everywhere. Reading your post makes me remember how I end up us a blogger. I got my first inspiration from Steve P. who shared his success story and some useful information,that leads me to start my own blog. Surely there are lots of resources you can find specially when you are passionate about what you blog about.

Some bloggers specially those who are new in the blogging world, they usually find it hard to think of some ideas which can caught the attention of the readers or audience or even the other bloggers. I think you really have to think creatively and be unique and at the same time be yourself when you are writing or posting some blogs or articles. That’s a nice post you got there!. XD
