First, I want to talk about news based or buzz topics. For example, tomorrow, in English Premier League, Aston Villa will play against Arsenal. If you are a fan of any of these two clubs then it is a big match for you. In fact, writing about it can bring good traffic for my Sports37 blog tomorrow. However, after tomorrow, this entry will lose any important to anyone.

Also, tomorrow, Apple is going announce its tablet PC and Mehdi Hassan at Laptopcom blog has been writing about it. We are expecting good traffic from this topic and the related entries. Again, after tomorrow, few people would bother about the launching ceremony.

Now, I want to talk about evergreen entries. If I want to write about an evergreen entry about Arsenal or Aston Villa then I can perhaps write about Top Ten players of any of these two clubs. As for the second event, I can write about the history of Tablet PC. You see that these kinds of entries are always relevant.

The good part of evergreen entries is that they are always relevant and they always remain fresh. They can help to increase your followers and Feedburner. They are most likely to bring backlinks from other websites and blogs easily. They also help to increase your credibility as a blogger. The best benefit I can see is that you can write them at you ease and at your normal peace. You don’t need to enter any pressure or stress on your mind to finish them quickly or in a deadline.

There are perhaps two negative parts of an evergreen entry. First of all, it needs a lot of time and patience and efforts to write an evergreen entry. Secondly, they will not generate hug traffic in a single day or week. They will bring you some traffic regularly but not a lot in short time.

Here are some tips to write evergreen entries.

1. Planning: Writing an evergreen entry needs some planning and revision. For example, at first, I thought of the title for this entry as: How to write an Evergreen Blog Entry?

Then, I felt that this title should be changed. So, if you want to write such an entry, then spend some time for planning. Don’t think that planning is a waste of time. If you can plan well then it can save you some valuable time.

2. Assessment: Try to assess whether you have good knowledge about the topic you want to write. For example, I have four years of blogging experience and then I am writing this entry. If you do not have good knowledge about the topic you want to write then don’t go for it.

3. Timing: Well, I said earlier that you can write evergreen entries anytime you like but timing can be sometimes important too. For example, before Christmas if you write about best Christmas movies then it becomes helpful to many people. If you are write about this topic in January then perhaps some relevance get lost.

4. Research: Give enough time to research about the entry you want to write. Thanks to internet, doing search and research has been easier than the past. Especially, if you have a high speed Internet connection then it is much easier.

5. Focus: Remember one thing that there is a lot of competition about these types of entries. For example, many bloggers have written about this topic: writing an Evergreen Blog Entry. So, I have to remember that if I cannot make this entry better than some of those entries then writing it will be meaningless. Thus, it is important to give your complete focus when writing such an entry.

6. Reading: Yes, read some of the entries written by other bloggers or writers and analyze them. Try to find out the good sides of those entries. Also, look out for any weakness and especially, try to find out if there is any valuable information or view point that others are missing. Do not b afraid to link to some of the entries written by others. Here are two you should read:

7. Feedback: If possible try to get feedback about your entry before publishing it in your website or blog. You don’t need feedback from any expert. Just give it to anyone you can find.

8. Decoration: You can allocate some minutes to find appropriate pictures and/or videos for your entry.

9. Promoting: I have already mentioned that competition is intense in evergreen topics and that is why you have to allocate some time to promote your entries. One good way is to submit in social bookmarking sites. Another is writing emails to website and blog owners related to the topic.

I hope that these tips would help you to write better evergreen entries for your blog.
