Search engine optimisation – Improve your blogging techniques by avoiding the common potholes.

If you are constantly creating blogs and rarely seeing any site visitors then you are doing something wrong. There are millions of blogs out there and the majority of them are growing dust as we speak and normally for the same reasons. If you are unaware of why your blog is not gaining a readership let me put it simply for you; it sucks! The majority of blogs really do, they are dull, unimaginative and simply boring, which means no one in their right mind would want to read it.

The most common problem is that your blog is boring. Write about subjects that interest your readers to gain readers and make sure you entertain, educate and engage your readers, otherwise they will simply log out never to be seen again. Your blogs should always be unique, even if they follow the same subject as other blogs (which would be nigh on impossible to avoid) your blog should read differently.

At all costs avoid using music in the background of your blog as everyone’s tastes differ so half the people who log in will log straight back out if they hear sounds they don’t like and the rest will by annoyed that music just blared out of their computer in the office while they are supposed to be working. Music is also distracting when you are trying to read…

Try not to talk about yourself too much. There is nothing more generic than reading about people’s tastes and experiences so get over yourself and talk about something interesting. Many blogs are not set out into categories so people visiting your blog site will be unable to search for a topic that interests them and instead they will get irritated if they have to scroll though numerous pages of uninteresting blogs before possibly finding one they want to read. By that point, many people would have simply left to find a site with categories and even the simplest platforms allow you to put your blogs into different categories.

To many blogs are also full of punctuation mistakes and spelling atrocities, which makes them hard to read and quite frankly irritating. Typos speak volumes about your blog and they scream that you don’t care about what you have written and if you don’t care, why would your readers? Find a niche and get into it instead of randomly babbling about everything and anything and above all else, ensure that you post regularly and continuously. If your readers expect a new post on a Tuesday make sure there is a post on a Tuesday.
