I read a lot of blogs all over the internet, mainly about blogging and
making money online, and I’m always seeing posts that seem to give tips on
how to improve your blog – I know I’ve done a few articles on the subject
on my blogs! This guest post is basically going to go down the opposite
avenue and look at ways to KILL your blog and lose
readers.

So, let’s get straight in to it…

Lack of posting

One of the things that’s critical to a successful blog is content – no one
is disputing that, and anyone that tells you otherwise is WRONG.
By hardly ever posting, you’re bound to lose plenty of recurring traffic
and also subscribers.

Ignoring your readers

Somewhere along the line people are bound to leave a comment or two on
your posts. The people who comment are kings (or queens)!
Every comment that is left on your blog increases the value of it and
makes it generally more appealing, so don’t just leave them by themselves…
reply to their comments! Answer their questions, thank them for the
comment, do anything! Just make them feel like they should leave more
comments. If you don’t do that, you’re unlikely to get any decent amount
of comments, which is basically death for blogs.

If your stuck for ideas, a great way of getting recurring comments is
to leave a comment on their blog. Once they see they can build their own
comment count, they’re very likely to come back for more!

Stop looking forward

The world of blogging changes routinely; the design trends, the new
marketing tools, everything! Keeping up with those can really make a blog,
but just using the same old tactics will really hold your blog back from
growing. Also, by thinking your blog is ‘alright as it is’ is another big
mistake and will kill your blog, as your readers are likely to get bored
and leave. The best solution is to just keep changing the little
things
, as this will keep your blog fresh!

Inconsistency

When running a successful blog, a lot of it comes down to being
consistent. Not only am I talking about posting (as I mentioned
before)
, but also your link building and advertising in general. Keep
it consistent and your blog will grow. Have no routine, and it’ll all fall
apart.

That’ll do for now!

In my opinion those are the biggest four blog-killers, but I’m sure you
can think of loads more, so feel free to make some suggestions by leaving
a comment below! Thanks for reading!

Musically Motivated….. er…. Friday!

Hey Guys and Girls,

I ended up without net connection for longer than I thought so have not been able to get any posts out.

Last Saturday my journey in Williston, Vermont (USA) started and it ended on Monday where I arrived in New Brighton, near to Liverpool in England…. I’m just over the jet lag now, I hope!

So not much to talk about and not sure what I will have time to get out so if anyone fancies a guest post feel free to mail me (forest.parks@gmail.com). I have an awesome guest post named “4 Different Ways To Destroy Your Blog” written by Simon from Teenius.com.

If you are wondering why this post has a random bird sculpture image then I better tell you what it is. That is a Liver bird, the fictional bird that symbolises Liverpool. Two of these large statues sit on top of the famous water side Liver Building.

Today’s song is an English classic and I thought it would be appropriate since I am off to Egypt in early August….. Enjoy and let me know how you are:
