If you want to be a successful blogger, avoid the following mistakes and create something that others really love to read.
Background Music:
Background Music is the most complicated thing for a blog or
website. You can give the option to turn the music on and off instead of auto play
background music files in your blog.
Screen Size Width:
Screen size width is the most important component for blog,
be sure that you have designed your blog/ site for different screen resolutions
and test it well because you can’t assume that your visitors are viewing it at
same screen. Horizontal scrolling puts serious impact on visitor’s mind and
considers as a worst thing for blogs.
So, make a blog for your visitors not for yourself.
No Alt Attribute:
Add Alt text description with
the images of your blog because the spider bots are not familiar with visual
content of blog.
Disabling Right Click:
Mostly, people disable the
right click option on their blog to protect their images and text. It reduces
the reader’s interest so it is better to keep the right click option enabled.
Blog display in Different Browsers:
Display of your blog may vary
so it is better to check it in different browsers. You can visit Browsershots.org;
it’s free service that provides screenshots on different browsers. Enter your
URL click the option “Generate Screenshots” and observe the difference.
Excessive Advertising:
People publish so many ads on
their blogs which reduces the speed of loading and shakes the reader’s
interest. So keep the number of ads limited perhaps just two or three ads per
post.
Keep Your Blog Simple:
Majority bloggers are keen to
decorate their blog and sometimes a complex design with a lot of features puts
extra burden on blog which slows down its loading time. The bigger images also
have same affect so, be careful about your blog design and size of the images.
Using the Images without
Permission:
Copyright issues can put you
in trouble. Always write fresh content for your blog and also make sure the
images you use are not copyrighted. If you purchase copyrighted material then
get written permission from the owner.
Hotlinking to Images:
Hotlinking is the term where
you link an image to somewhere else than the saving and uploading it to your
blog. Avoid it because this way you utilize the bandwidth of the other website
which doesn’t cost you anything but the other website that you are thieving the
bandwidth from.
Non Descriptive Posting Titles:
Title of post is an important
component of blogging and according to the modern search trends it should match
the readers’ viewpoint. Use keyword in your post’s title or follow the Overture
Keyword Popularity Tool to access proper search terms for your blog.
