I have been blogging for quite some time now, a personal blogs, (personal and business), as well as the Search Engine watch is here.
I have done a lot of errors on blogging in the past few years, and I have seen other much errors. as we all know, we can learn from the mistakes!
The following are some of the lessons we learn from some of the common mistakes made by many bloggers and still do today.
The post is not just for Home Page
Many bloggers do General error is to think only in terms of the home page.Group Blogs some financial bloggers complain that their only at the top of your blog post was "a few hours." Yes, the top position for you the most traffic, but only within the first few hours.
But in a blog post will not be lost when it leaves the home page!In the blog post lives!
A blog post can be a very long tail part of the away from the home page. When you receive a lot of attention to the specific post.
Of course, is how we all specialised: get an search engines. But not more.
It does not constitute an offence, for example, with a view to contributing to the old blog posts, especially when the subject is "hot" all of a sudden.Tweet out older messages, connect to the current News events and you do it right, you can even receive them in the Google News (again), when using 301 redirects news is a related topic.
Crux is to keep this post "alive."Various processes (social media, search, and site links) allows you to import your old message back to the attention of the judicial authorities.
Blogs should be Fun
When the blog starts getting visitors a strange thing happens.Blog owners begin to believe they do not have to enter the content to keep visitors. as a general rule, turns out to be a lot of posts in any data. Blogging fun will disappear and thus visitors.
When you begin to type, because you don't have to type and the fun is gone, do not delete messages are.Readers will notice.
We all know that people want them in the field of activities and the quality is better write. a little less than write surkeat content.
Do not Think your readers are stupid
You are probably most interested person in the industry, right? no one knows better than you can do things to obtain and how to be successful?
Not?You are not?So why you act as if you have?
Many bloggers make an error asking for too much fame without the reputation of the profession that. This is very dangerous.There will always be someone who knows more than you do.
Thinking, know all means that one person who knows more likely to find you and will take you.Which means you can lose your credibility and that you have lost, regardless of what you can write, when people no longer trust your posts.
Make sure that you are always open, comments, tips, amendments, and those who know (even if its just a little bit) more than you do.
Your readers don't know it all!
What?, not just Wait to say you do not know everything and that you might not want to yell, the hard way is the only way because you may need to know more about your readers than?Yes, I have done but it does not mean readers know all should think about.
Yes, there are some very familiar with the concept of readers among visitors to the site, I'm sure just as you are. Search Engine watch very familiar with the concept of the reader.
But many of them may need some additional help on some of the issues. If you start throwing around only advanced criteria, the audience will be very small.If your goal is, only a very advanced knowledge, that is OK, but you probably want a little more than that. make sure that you will learn some of the components and avoid using too much advanced language.
What to do other not always to the right
Finally, you can keep track of the orders you have probably noticed the number of copycats on the Web.Find a simple statement in your niche and you see a lot of similar sites are likely to be even "big." tech-sector (for example, TechCrunch, Mashable) and in different countries in different of the leading sites look the same.
One, on the one hand, that it is a good idea to take the best best., and places the blog makes that people feel right at home and there are a few things actually work because the large ones tested them.
But be careful: all the other does not have the correct. Sometimes you can see the other sites you may want to do, but that may not be otherwise nice blog readers.
Do not copy the bad things. it's like when you were in high school: If you study, you had to be carefully copy your neighbors, because they might be incorrect answers in writing!
The second copy what others is that you are not separated. If users choose SERPs 10 sites, either select them, which they know or those who stand out.
Conclusion: Think From User perspective
These are just a few some bloggers make an error. be careful, don't make the same errors.
But in addition, you can view this post in a different way. Although I am not always right, and so some things might work for you anyway.
Regardless, always ask yourself one question each time you change one of your blog: this benefit to readers?
