Take a closer second look at all the probloggers, what do they have in common? A well drafted ‘About Me’ page and a contact form page. Why is it important?

Having a contact forms page allows your reader to reach you with the least effort needed and thus encouraging them to contact you for any concerning matters. If you’re selling advertising spaces on your blog, a contact form would definitely make it much easier for you to close a deal. If your potential advertiser sees only an e-mail, he or she would probably can’t be bothered to open up their email and send the message, you just lost a sale.

Your readers can also share something with you privately or highlight a matter to you which you won’t want them to appear in the comment section. For example, I have had problems with Askimet recently and these contact forms on the different blogs actually made it easier for me to notify the bloggers to check for my comments in case they went to spam. Adding a contact page is easier than ABC!

Having an about me page is more of an art because it requires some planning when writing this page. It may be the shortest thing you ever wrote, but you would realise its actually difficult to write something about yourself, especially something good. It doesn’t have to be long, but it has to do all the promotion for you within that short passage. I would suggest you guys head over to Darren Rowse’s blog to read more on “How To Write Your About Me Page“.

Adding to those points mentioned by Darren, I think its very important and advisable to throw in a photo of yours. Trust me, picture paints a thousand word. Your readers will feel closer to you when you they read about you this way and you have nothing to be shy about that.

Right, go do some work if you have missed out these two big points!
