When starting a blog are exposed to many mistakes. There is certainly a good way you can travel blogger, but certainly there are many wrong roads.Here are some of the things that you do not need to take blogging seriously.
1. Neglect readers
The most popular blogs are always very active community around them. If readers feel stuck in your blog account, the chances that they will return and recommend your blog and others will increase significantly. Here are some ways you can involve your readers in your blog:
- Ask them questions;
- uses their answers in future posts;
- face surveys;
- invite other bloggers to write on your blog;
- answer as many comments;
- answer as many emails;
- I reward the most loyal readers.
2. Neglect in the same area bloggers
We know that interrelation is very important when it comes to those who work in a company or organization, but it is also important for bloggers. If you become friends with bloggers in your niche is very likely that they offer their readers and blog links to your articles, and sending such traffic blog.
These relations must be initiated but carefully. It could be a good idea to present yourself in a short e-mail and provide links to that blog as often as possible. Remember that before you ask is always better.
3. Besides the main topic Jobs
From time to time and might have the urge to write about something other than the area of your blog. Maybe that's a political scandal that brought you out of bounce or maybe your favorite football team won the championship, and since there are readers who read your articles regularly, why not share these experiences with them?
The problem with these posts off topic is that he could to annoy some readers. Remember that you read her blog to get information about a particular topic and if, at some point find themselves uninteresting information they receive can decide to unsubscribe from the newsletter and not return again.
It takes a series of articles as a faithful reader to win but it's poorly written one article enough to lose.
4. Monthly Change design
The many templates available on the market may cause them some bloggers often change their design. This is obviously a mistake because it leads to weakened brand blog.
It is ok to test more subjects but once you have chosen a need to stay with her at least a year. After this period, depending on the evolution of the blog, you can think of a new design but not major changes are recommended (eg. To go from a template written black on white and blue on a black background template with green writing .... or vice versa).
5. To apologize for the lack of posts
If you read blogs while more than likely that you came across at least one post that blogger apology for not also published for some time. If you get a somewhat similar situation, and you can not publish for a while, you should not apologize for that. Why? For such items are not worse than the problem. They point out that, for various reasons, you've neglected the blog and send the message that readers might take a while to you again until you manage to write constantly. The result? Many readers will go away and will look for another blog.
Rather than apologize, take time to write some quality articles and posting them on forums. This will work much better in keeping the readers interest.
6. His images look
Many bloggers focus on what I write and forget to include images in their posts. If you can not include many pictures in each post, including pictures even in the articles (as well as the best source I use istockphoto.com ).
This is necessary first to make your blog more appealing from a visual standpoint.Second, these images can attract attention and cause them some readers to read your article. And thirdly you can help SEO cuvand main key if you use the name or image ALT tag.
7. To neglect the quality of writing
When you write a blog you must make sure that your posts are written grammatically correct. The trick is that you can use to get along with another blogger will read each other articles and will refer to errors when they occur. Most times it is easier to notice the mistakes made by anyone but you.
8. Excessive Blog Monetization
Many bloggers are excited when the first money from their blog and decide to earn as much as possible. The result is a blog full of advertisements on all pages. This strategy can maximize your revenue but only for a short period of time. On long term, this policy may be detrimental to the blog as a hindrance to traffic growth.
If your blog is new, show fewer advertisements and focus on increasing the number of readers. It's ok and put ads on your blog, but make sure they are in places that do not disturb readers. As readers will increase the number you put more ads without risk of losing your readers.
