5 common mistakes done by bloggers

Blogging has become the popularly known means of making money online in the current generation. Thousands of people around the globe are working on how to set up their own blogs and have a second income from the internet.

Well nothing comes easy and before you start anything you should have a plan on what you want to do and what you wish to achieve there after. Many mistakes have been noted on different running blogs and this inspired me to write on this article on MISTAKES DONE BY BLOGGERS

Common mistakes Bloggers should avoid.

There are many common mistakes bloggers make especially newbies as they set up blogs. As a blogger you should know that if your blog does not meet the quality standards of readers definitely do not expect it to get the rich traffic you desire and also if it doesn’t meet the quality standards of advertising networks, then do not think of making income from it. Here are some of the mistakes done on blogs.

1)    POOR QUALITY OF ARTICLES

Before starting a blog, you should decide on the kind of niche you will be good at and do a lot of research before you open up the blog and post grammatical errors online. Many newbies do not consider to research on the specific niche to deal with in and most of them end up mixing up content and the blog appears unprofessional and disorganized.

Well this drives away readers from your blog as the information contained in it cannot be relied upon.

2)    ANNOYING BLOG DESIGN

Many blogs have poor designs and are unfriendly to the readers. Some bloggers put a lot of widgets with many ads on the pages of the blog and this slows the blog as it takes a lot of time for it to load and also presence of many ads redirects the readers to other websites meaning that they are not in a position to get the content they want from your blog posts.

More to this, some blogs have annoying popups and pop unders that appear when you log in. As a blogger and you have monetized your blog with more than one advertising network and all have this advertisements contained in the sliders, popups and pop unders, If it is necessary for you to use then enable only one from one ad network at least to make the blog have a professional look unlike using all of them at once where the blog opens multiple task bars of advertisements. This discourages readers and they cannot wish to return to your blog once they experience such.

3)     COPY PASTING OTHER BLOG CONTENT.

There is another category of ‘naughty’ bloggers (Sorry to say) who open up blogs and copy paste articles from other blogs without any due authority to do so or without giving credits. Copying content from other blogs and pasting to yours is a very easy task compared to sitting down and composing your own original content. Well all you should know is nothing comes easy as copying other people’s blog posts does not give your blog any fame. Many blogs globally have their articles protected by copy scope and when a blogger copies such content, search engines do not rank such blogs.  Be original.

4)    BLOGGING WITHOUT A PARTICULAR GOAL.

If you ask some bloggers what mainly drove them to their blogging career not many will have the write answer for you. Before you start something you should have a desired interest and the self drive to do it and not just doing it but PERFECTING in it.

Some bloggers intention in blogging is to make quick cash online but not to offer any professionalism to their readers. There is no success in greed. You should have self interest and have set goals on what you wish to achieve at the long-term future.

5)    USING EXTRAORDINARY ENGLISH.

If you are run a blog you should consider that the blog is being read world wide and the tone of your articles should not be too difficult for your readers to understand.  The grammar should be normal and should easily interpreted in a layman’s language for so that any one can easily understand your content.

I say this because I happen to stumble upon some blogs with high profile grammar that not everyone can understand what the writer is really talking about.
