Wonderful article and it’s great to see confirmation of some of my own observations. My blog, Building The Ergonomic Guitar, is about a niche subject – the ergonomics of the guitar and related subject matter. What I’ve found is that my most popular post is a tutorial on making a guitar template. Its fascinating to see just how much such an article can contribute to traffic. Of the four points you make as to why these are a good idea, I can attest to the first three. Unfortunately, I don’t have any visibility into feed subscriptions at this point. Thanks!

This is a great article. It is so true, if you read a tutorial on how to write a program or monetize a domain, you will ge back to it. Thank you for the great advice!

Tutorial articles help keep casual surfers too. The more Tutorial articles there are, the better.

I couldn’t agree more. Though I’ve never really been a focussed blogger, I’ve always seen a spike in hits after posting a howto. Great Blog, mind if I link to you?

I learn some of the trick through experience by trial and error method and some from experts I know. But knowledge is never complete.

I can learn from my readers too. Don’t thank me with a ‘Thank you’, thank me by sharing your experiences here like I have done

Hey John,

Your tips are so good.

Some of your tips have helped me to improve my blog and I definitely vouch startup blogs to come here more often.

I jumped from a ranking of over a couple of million rankings 23,36544 to 936,635 in within two months on alexa with some of your tips and some of my new trciks.

For all once you have learnt the trick of the trade and got better, never forget to thank the people who have helped.

Keith
