Common mistakes of a new blogger

Posted Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 by Stefan

Every blog goes through different stages as a new blog (beginning stage), then a growing stage, then maturity stage (and hopefully no decline stage). It is in beginning stage that many of the new bloggers make mistakes. Lets us analyze these common mistakes.

1. Navigation

The increased interest of new bloggers in SEO (Search Engine Optimization and is related to optimizing their websites for web gurus like Google, Yahoo, etc. and avoid the presence of people. The result is a severely bad navigation system for their blog or website.

2. Repeated Newsletters

The repetition of newsletters is another such reason. Ideally, even for a highly active blog/website, newsletters should be delivered not more than once a day.

3. Presence of Embed videos without play option

It is observed that majority of visitors have limited bandwidth. Additional video data you force your visitors to download gets directly transformed into anger they feel toward your site/blog. They most probably close your website rather than searching for a pause button. This option is called as auto play and its absence is usually a common mistake for a new blogger.

4. Pop up message like “Subscribe us” or “Special offers”

A common mistake committed by new bloggers is popping up of common and annoying messages. Whenever they see some new scripts on Internet, they use it in their websites. It irritates your users and also increases loading time of your site.

5. Show them big, uncompressed photos

Many new bloggers show compressed photos on websites because it decreases the loading time as well as load on web server. But some new bloggers often using MS-paint saves and upload photos in BMP format. Sometimes these uncompressed files are 10 times larger than their compressed JPG/PNG counterpart.

6. Change your theme regularly?

The free Word Press themes and Blogger layout available in abundance resist the temptation of changing your theme regularly. This is not a wise thing to do at all. If you want a new look do some minor changes in the theme but don’t change it completely every week or fortnight.

7. Slow or no responding to visitors/comments

If you are unable to answer comments on your blog, simply remove the section to cease future embarrassment. Normally, a repeat visitor will probably go away from your site if his comments remain unanswered after 24-48 hours.

8. If it’s a slow loading sites?

When your blog is taking too much time to load, just get rid of unnecessary widgets and make your theme a normal and quick one. Also remove the useless flash and java scripts from your website/blog.

9. Start the blog on free blogging platforms
The art of making money is not easy and starting with free blogs is usually wastage of time, and it is way better to put a little investment as small as 9 $ on creating a new blog.

By avoiding this you can perform error free blogging and make money online. Happy blogging !
