Do an Experiment to Study Reader's Reaction

Apart from keeping your blog updated regularly, you need to monitor what's your reader's reaction after entering your page.

Just as a first impression can make a lot of difference in your blogging life.

Blog Experiment.

What you all need is a friend, mate or family person who has never seen your blog earlier and is even unaware of you being a blogger.
Set a computer in front of him.

Make him see what you’ve created…
· Load up your blog on his screen and let him solely concentrate for 5-6 minutes page after page.
· See how he navigates, where he clicks, note down each of the points.
· What portions he pauses to read, particularly which paragraphs he likes the most.
· The areas he oversee or ignore. Which pages he's most attracted by?

Interview Session!!!
Continue the above process for at least half an hour. Then sit with a coffee and start asking him questions:-

· His first impression about the blog. What did he assume your theme was?
· How was your page setup and design? Ask if it was easy to navigate.
· The questions that arose in his mind after seeing your blog.
· Ask him to give his words to describe your design.
· The things he particularly remembered after sometime.
· Finally, get his suggestions regarding your blog’s improvement.

Tally his response with your observations and make a report.

Preserve the report with care.

It feels great to get good comments from a new reader.

You become sure, it wasn’t a flattery!

But this task is like examining someone or rather examining yourself.

You have to be well prepared.

For this,
“Read a blog you have never heard before. Write a summary on the basis of the criteria stated above.”

Do this for at least 5 new blogs before you try on some one.

“Taste a sip before you serve the soup!”

Don’t get nervous. Awesome comments are on your way to come. May be tomorrow!!!
