It is very easy nowadays to open an account in a weblog manager and start a fresh new blog.
A majority of blogs, however, fail to get even a single reader, dying a very invisible, quiet death.
That is why you need to know the following five tips in order to not only make your blog survive, but also flourish and keep going strong.
Don't Annoy Your Readers This one may seem like a no brainer, but you will be surprised by how many ways there are to annoy visitors to your blog, which you probably don't even recognize.
First of all, please do not add obnoxious music to your blog.
Not everyone may share your taste in music.
Also let not your ads stand out garishly.
Too many ads is also a big no, same for pop ups.
Keep the font readable but not nursery size huge.
Always Spell Check Your Blog Post Seriously, how difficult is it to run this automatic tool onto your text before publishing it in your blog? Your readers will ascertain your own intellect and the credibility of what you have to say in terms of the number of spelling mistakes they find in your text.
Please do not be guilty of this faux pas.
Be Original Nobody likes a cheat, and everybody hates plagiarism.
Not to mention that plagiarism is a CRIME.
Stay away from this temptation and create something with your own style and signature.
Not only will it bring you disrepute, it will send your search engine rankings crashing through the floor.
Be Regular (Consistent Is Key) A lazy blogger is a recipe for failure.
Fresh new content will not only keep your readers coming back for more, but will also keep your blog up there in search engines' tracker list.
Search Engine Optimization This may not guarantee huge traffic flow overnight, but it is a basic step which must be taken, and maintained regularly as it will help you build and sustain search engine rankings, which will in turn drive more traffic to your blog.
