Yes the header graphic is important to. But I think there is a lot more to take care of. I have written an ebook about how to start your own blog with the proper way. This will be a very good information source for the beginners.

Hey, and thanks for the header graphic! Its nice to get it. I will put it in use soon.

Thanks!

Hey Marko!

Thanks for featuring my SEO blog. Actually my header graphic is not even a graphic, it’s text! It’s huge text that’s get anti-aliased (smoothed out) so that it looks like a graphic. Some blogs use too big header graphics which cover too much space and take a long time to load. I keep it simple.

Yes, I totally agree with these suggestions. And it’s true, everytime I see a blog that uses a free template that hasn’t been customized, I do think of it as amateur. Of course, I am somewhat of a web dev snob, so that might explain why I turn my nose up at other blogs. lol.

But its true. When you added the new header graphic to this blog, I definitely took notice.

Thanks for all the comments!

@Alex – I like the idea of having a blog mascot. Haven’t seen anyone doing that so it seems like a great opportunity to create a cartoon character which can brand your blog all over the net.

@Man Overboard – It is definitely very short-term strategy to only work on getting visitors to your blog. You can always get somebody to visit your blog for a quick second or two. The trick and the hard work is to get them to stay on your blog, ready your articles, comment on them, subscribe to your RSS and keep coming back. The header image is one of the things that will help out, I have already mentioned several others in my articles and hopefully will continue providing good tools and tips.

Your header is one of the most original and catchy graphics I have seen on a blog yet. I’m sure this is a large contributor to the rapid success you have enjoyed here.

Too many people focus only on “getting them” and there is not nearly enough energy put into “bringing them back.” I think you do both very well here.

There are no 2 blog header that are the same. If there are 2 the same, there is a copyright problem. Blog headers make your blog to be unique. It also increases the value of your blog and leaves an interesting impression to your readers and visitors.

Brilliant Article Marko. I used to have a really crappy looking logo but then I got my hand on Photoshop and designed a really unique and eye catching one. Your blog’s logo really says a lot about your blog so try and get a unique and well designed one. Even if you have to pay for it.
