As I am trying hard to increase my blog readership, I learn lot of the blogging ins and outs.
As a blogger you may have success but i think it comes for hard work only.
A majority of bloggers make some common mistakes and those who learns from these mistakes can have success knocking at their doorstep.
These common mistakes are:
1) Concentrating on blog design only: Some bloggers forget the thing that blog content and marketting your blog is the main thing to promote the blog! Again Marketting is the most important thing for a good content!
2) Meaningless post titles: In order to get the most targeted keywords in post title most of the bloggers forget the meaning of the post. So keep the title as simple and informative as it is.
3) To many posts: As I am the reader of many blogs out there, but its annoys me if I get too many posts from a single blog. So keep the number of posts limited per day say 2 to 4 is sufficient.
4) To many adds: Yes you want money from your blog but you should keep in mind that too many adds on the blog makes the reader confusing in between your content. And most of them will never come back loosing your blog readership! So keep the adds limited, doing this you can even make more money.
5) Changing blog URl domain frequently : One sure way to loose your readers is changing the blog domain or url. Do not change the blog title or Domain for a established blog. Decide ten times before choosing the right domain name for your blog!
You can learn many things from these common mistakes made by bloggers.
Nice list of things to watch out for when blogging. The comment about too many ads was of most interest.
Nearly all bloggers want to make “some” money from their bloggers, and I am one of those bloggers. I agree that too many ads can distract from the content of the site but more important is the placement of the ads you do have. If I can make a friendly suggestion, you might want to consider relocating the ad at the top of your post. I think most readers want to see the content of a post before they see an ad. Personally I would preferred to have not seen the ad till later in the post. Just a constructive suggestion.
Yeah you are right , having too many ads can sometimes discourage the reader
Remarkable tips. How can we place right or left aligned ads for a blogspot blog in a post. regards
