5 mistakes which could stop the progress of your blog

In blogosphere, almost every blogger claims to have thousands of subscribers, getting lots of traffic and is making big money with his blog but that is right now common all around and has nothing wrong. But the problem arises after sometime when you are telling the fake statistics and you know it’s not going to help you anymore and you need the real thing.

Blogging looks more easy when it has real support of our fans, that is why we should try to avoid some common mistakes, which no doubt can stop the progress of a blog.

Mistake 1 – Worrying about earnings than our Readers

It is very clear than in order for our blog to function properly, we must have some money so that the cost of maintaining a blog can be taken care. But here we have to keep in mind that we are making money with our blog through the web users i.e the readers. I think we should really place ads on our blog for profitability but we must maintain a degree of respect for our readers. We should not treat them as a “Money Making System”.

Mistake 2 – Unconcerned of our blog

Considering that we have blog, we must know that it must be maintained, updated regularly and should correspond to the readers comments. Like first measurement we should answer all the questions,complaints or suggestion that appears from our readers side. Secondly we should take care that we are updating the blog content on regular basis plus also taking a little bit care of our blog design.

Mistake 3 – Not Linking and not getting Linked

For a blog to be known properly in the blogosphere it is important for that blog that it’s articles are linked from other blogs. Moreover a blogger should also consider himself linking other blogs as a part of marketing tactics. This way he can increase the readership on his blog plus he can also increase connections with other bloggers.

“Without connections, a blog practically can not progress.”

Mistake 4 – Wasting time for no reason

If the time you are getting for blogging is not limited then it’s no problem. But bloggers like me who have limited time for blogging should not waste time in stupid things, and the time we get for improving our blog should be considered worth gold. The time we get should be properly utilized in many things like improving the content we are going to provide, try to find different ways to build backlinks and do the best possible things to attract quality traffic to our blog. Wasting time is one of main reason why a blogger doesn’t succeeds. Our blog will improve very less if we don’t manage and utilize the time for blogging properly.

Mistake 5 – Not Participating in other Blogs or Forums

As mentioned earlier in this post; Time is worth Gold. That is why we must manage out time not only for our blog but also to take part in the conversation in different blogs. If you are going to comment, make sure it is not a spam, nor poor, nor by any nature destructive i.e. our comments must be constructive and should possess some degree of kindness, respect and should be helpful or informative for others.

Undoubtedly, all of us might have committed that mistake anytime from the growth of our blog. We must ensure that these mistakes should not happen again and again as it will stop the Progress of your blog.

So go on, think carefully on this article and tell me whether you have done any mistake ever in your blogging journey which could have possibly slowed down the progress of your blog and also do lemme know, what do your think about this article.

  3. Ok, these are all super suggestions. I do have a question or actually two. Should I try to link to blogs that are the same niche as I am or does it matter?? And I guess the way to do that is just to ask people to link to my blog.
    Also, I have never understood how to do backlinks??? Maybe you already have a post on that.

    1. Ans.1 – Well, according to me Linking to the same niche is more good than linking to absolutely unknown niche which your readers don’t have any interest. Try Linking to the same niche blogs or sites and it will give you better results.

      Ans.2 – The only way you can get the “Articles” Linked by other bloggers is by providing quality article. If other bloggers like it then it will be linked, if not, then they won’t do so. Also, here one main thing comes i.e if people don’t know your blog then probably it won’t get linked. So also try to be active in communities, comment on other blogs so that other bloggers can come to know about you and your blog. It will increase your chances of your article getting Linked on those blogs.

      Asking people like “Hey! Will you link this article?” doesn’t sounds good and it looks funny also. Try proper ways of marketing so that your articles could get linked.

    1. Yes, this article is important for newbies and soon to be bloggers. But also it is important for those blogger blogging from many months, who are committing these mistakes right now and haven’t yet decided to overcome these mistakes.

  5. 5 Great Points Typhoon! You definitely just need to focus on your readers versus just trying to make money. People know when bloggers are out just for themselves and stay away. All your other points are very important in building a strong community… but consistently write high quality content will serve you best (like your site).

  7. I did commmit few of mistakes like not regularly updating my blog and not replying the comments at proper time.
    Sometimes timing is also crucial. I had a horrible month as a blogger and lost more than 50% of my traffic and readers. Anyway all the things seems to be ok now.
    BTW this is my first time here. I came to know about you from George. Your website looks worth reading. Keep it up.

    1. Yes, I do agree that it’s impossible to know whether that “something” is gonna work or not. But before trying that “something” we should first investigate and search the web on it’s results. But if that “something” is purely invented or discovered by you then giving it a try is not a bad idea..

      1. @Typhoon,
        i totally agree with you Typhoon, it is wise to investigate first before
        doing something, so that the chances of failing is lesser compared
        to the chance of success. Even if you dont know whether something’s
        gonna work or not. If you have tried something which really doesnt
        work even before knowing it. You’ll still really end up in failure.
