1. Bad Titles
Avoid funny headlines or titles that is not suitable to the content of your post. Make sure that the title of your post must be related with the content of your post. This is very important because usually readers will first view through your post title, then only decide whether to read your post. If you have a bad title, then great, you will lost readers. By the way, don’t use all capital letters in all of your titles, sometimes this will make it hard to read, and you will lost your precious readers.
2. Not Linking Back To Old Posts
Whenever your newer post is related with your older post, you can direct or recommend your readers to it. Maybe your old posts have some important information that the readers need, or maybe it may contain good quality content. If you’re not linking to your older posts, most of them will be buried your blog archive and this will make them difficult to find. In addition, with links to your older posts, the search engine spiders can crawl through your blogs more easily, this will help your blog updates more faster.
3. Categorized Your Posts
Another common mistake often made by bloggers is that their posts are not properly categorized. Use the category or label widget provided for you. Be sure that your post does not categorised in almost every category, be selective and categorized your post correctly. For a normal blog, ten to twenty categories should be fine, this should be a very vast topic to be discuss. If more than twenty then it will be a lot, and your blog will looks messy.
4. Post Regularly
For most bloggers, post and update your blog everyday will be the best. This is also great if your blog is still new, post and update your blog everyday is best. Choose the right time to post, don’t simply post without knowing what to write, you will make you content quality fall, and you will lose your readers. If you find that you’ve got nothing to post about, you can go through here, read Quality Content section under How To Increase Stickiness. Get some idea of what you’re going to write about before you post. Furthermore, don’t leave your blog untouch for the whole weeks or even months, your blog will become a ghost town.
5. Get Your Own Domain Name
The first thing to do once you’ve make some money from your blog is to buy your own domain name. The domain name is very cheap, roughly around $10 a year only. (Ok you might ask why I still don’t have my own domain name for this blog. Well, there are few reasons, because www.themillionairesecrets.com had been bought by somebody else, I’m still not yet making any money from this blog, but the main reason is that I’m learning on how to make profits from blogs, once I see money flowing in, I will buy my own domain name, it’s kind of hard to explain, hope you will understand.) Remember, if you’re using other people’s domain, like .blogspot.com or .wordpress.com, your blog’s destiny is in their hand. They can ban you or stop your blog anytime. I’ve seen cases like this. Beware.
