New bloggers make many mistakes because they do not have full experience in blogging. Because of these mistakes, new bloggers cannot succeed in their blogging careers. Again most people don’t realize their mistake they think blogging is not for me and I can’t be successful by blogging. This is because of the inconsistency in the minds of the people who can't find their faults and leave blogging in the middle.
It is an eternal truth that people will only make mistakes. It is also true that when people make mistakes, they will correct their own mistakes. So why you can't be successful in blogging, where you are doing wrong, you have to find out for yourself. When you can find blogging mistakes and correct them, you will one day succeed in blogging.
What kind of blogging mistakes do bloggers make?
In today's post I will discuss 50 Blogging Mistakes, the Mistakes You Can't Succeed at Blogging. I believe that if you read today's post carefully from the beginning to the end and correct the mistakes, you too will one day become a successful blogger.
1. Not interested in blogging
Most new bloggers start blogging by creating a free blog just out of curiosity just by seeing someone else or reading a blog online. They think that if you post one or two blogs from time to time, you will become a successful blogger and have a blog to talk to others.
There are some bloggers who can't find any topic when they sit down to write. That is, he cannot decide what to write about. That's why before you start blogging, you need to determine what you are interested in working on.
If you try to write a blog against your will without full knowledge of the subject you have no interest in writing, the article of that blog will not be able to attract the attention of the reader. You can never be a successful blogger unless you have a lot of interest in writing on a blog, just as there is no such thing as success without interest.
2. Not posted regularly
Regular blog posting is the most important thing for success in blogging. If you try to become a successful blogger by writing a couple of posts in the blog from time to time, your hopes will never be fulfilled. Those who share regular posts on the blog, their blog becomes important to both search engines and visitors. By regular posts here, I am not talking about you posting every day. If you can post every day, it will be a bonus point for you. No one can stop your success if you can write good quality posts on the blog every day. However, even if you can't post regularly, you must share a minimum of two posts a week, keeping a certain distance. Even if you suddenly post 6 posts in a week with a gap of one month, you will not be successful by blogging.
3. Copyright posted
If you want to succeed in copying other people's blog posts, I will tell you directly that blogging is not for you. You quit blogging and found another job. To date, no blogger has been successful in copying other people's blog articles. If you think that you can rank your blog post by copying other people's blog articles, then I would say you have no idea about blogging. Let me give you a small example of this.
As many of you know, from 2015 to February 2019, our blog was called "Technology.com". But for good reason, we had to change the name of our blog to "Blogger Bangladesh".
After changing the address of the blog, it has become very difficult to re-rank the posts in the Google search engine. Because most of the posts on my blog were copied and used by many at that time. That's why Google takes the new addresses of my blog as copyrighted content from other people's blogs, so the post was not indexed by Google.
But I did not let the stubbornness take over. All the posts on my blog that were copied and used by others, I keep reporting to Google with reference to all the posts. Within 15 days of reporting, Google removes the copyrighted content from the search engine and slowly ranks my post. This means that if there is humanity in blogging by copying the articles of other people's blogs, it is excluded. You keep sharing your experiences with people as much as you know yourself. Even if you can't write a good post in the beginning, one day you will be able to become a good content writer.
4. Don't do SEO
SEO is not an option to get visitors to the blog from search engine. Most people write posts on blogs but because of not following the rules of SEO, they cannot easily rank posts despite having good quality articles. It doesn't take much experience to SEO a blog or blog post. There are many blogs online that you can read to know almost everything related to SEO.
5. Writing short posts
This is very common for new bloggers. Newcomers follow most of the news sites and write short articles about tech. I think he wrote the post quite well. Hey brother, try to understand one thing, the traffic of newspaper sites does not come from search engine. Most of their visitors only come from Facebook and Twitter. Since you are a blogger you should always write blog articles with the goal of increasing traffic from other search engines including Google search engine.
Usually when tech related blog posts get bigger they rank easily in search engines. Analyze and write about the topic you are writing about. Try to illustrate the need for different examples. Try to write a post with at least 1000-1500 words in each post.
6. Do not use pictures in the post
There are many who write articles without using pictures inside the post. This is not right at all. You must know that when a blog post is shared on Facebook and Twitter, the picture is shown with the link of the post and the visitor clicks on the link after seeing that picture. Moreover, Google has an option called image search. If there is an image in the post, there is a possibility of getting traffic from there.
7.Start writing about anything
Most bloggers start writing about an idea as soon as they have an idea or a little knowledge about it. But they do not care, there are many good quality posts online about what he is writing. If you write with a little knowledge on a topic, you will not be able to compete with others with that post. As a result, your post will not be able to rank in search engines. So before writing a post on any subject, you should try to write better than others after getting full experience by choosing the verification.
8. Writing unnecessary sentences in the post
When writing a post, you must make sure that every sentence of the post is centered on the topic you are writing about. Visitors will be annoyed to read your post because of the use of unnecessary sentences when writing about a topic. If you write too many such posts, the reader will completely ignore your blog at some point.
9. Post quality is not good
When writing a post, you must pay attention to the quality of your post. In order to rank the post and prove to the reader that you are an experienced person, you should always write good quality articles in the post. Search engines like good quality articles as well as readers.
10. Not writing posts for the reader
There are many who write on the blog only about their own experience. But wondering if the reader is interested in what I am writing about. When writing about a subject, try your best to present it in a way that is easy to understand, keeping in mind the words of the reader.
11. Don't read other people's blog posts
There are some people who think they are wise. They never try to find out from someone else's blog. Before you write a post about the subject you are going to write about, read at least 2-3 hours of various good quality blog articles. This way you can write better posts from their blog knowing different things. Moreover, if you follow this topic, you will be able to write posts better than them because you know who your competitors will be.
12. Don't post guest
There is no substitute for guest blogging to increase blog exposure and backlinks. You should always write on your blog, this should not be done. To gain something is to lose something. Sometimes you will try to make a guest post on a good quality blog instead of on your blog. In this case, if your post is good, the readers of that blog will easily come to read your blog.
13. Do not comment on other people's blogs
You read someone else's blog post but didn't express your feelings, that's not true at all. If you like a post, express your feelings. Or if there is any mistake in the post, let the admin of the post know by commenting. Doing so will create a kind of community with other bloggers. Especially if you can catch the mistake, you will become known to them as an expert.
14. Not responding to comments
No matter what kind of comments are made on your blog, you will always try to reply to the comments. If you have questions about any kind of problem, try to solve it. Regular readers of your blog will increase if you solve the problem through comments.
15. Not giving correct answer in the comment
Never try to give the wrong answer to the readers of your blog and do not use any kind of provocative language to the readers. There will be many readers who will make all kinds of bad comments but you will never use bad language in reply to them. You should never expect everyone to talk positively about your post.
16. Not blogging on the right platform
Whether I start blogging with Google Blogger or blogging with WordPress, this question is on the minds of all new bloggers. Some say WordPress is good and some say Blogger is good. Here you have to decide which one is better for you. You have to choose the right blogging platform in the light of your experience considering which platform you have experience or which platform you can maintain everything, etc.
17. Whether or not the top domain
You must add a top domain blog to make your blog acceptable to the readers. While Google does not have much value for top level domains, readers must have value for top domains. E.g.-
Usually Google does not see whether the domain of your blog is top domain or sub domain. Google always checks the quality of the post and whether the post is properly SEO? In this case, if a blog post made with your subdomain is better than another post from another top domain, your post will definitely rank in Google and it will be at the top of Google search. But when visitors search and see that your post is made with subdomains then normally the top domain post will be more important than your post.
18. Not picking the right theme
Good quality theme is very important for a blog. The value of a blog can be determined by how the design of your blog looks and how user friendly it is. Again, it is not right to design more than necessary. The following points should be kept in mind while choosing the theme of the blog.
Must be a fast paced theme.
Must be mobile friendly.
Be user friendly, so that anyone can easily read blog articles.
SEO must be optimized.
19. Working with additional categories (niches)
You must remember that every human being has a limit of knowledge. Because man can never be omniscient. For that, try to write a blog on certain topics without writing about different topics. Because if you write about health related topic in mobile related blog, the reader will not take it naturally. Because you write about mobile in your blog, everyone will come to read about it, not to know about health. So it is best to write about a few specific topics, not about varieties.
20. Always stick to the back of the blog
Most new bloggers spend 24 hours behind the blog. It's never right. Doing this kind of work destroys the interest in writing on the blog. Set aside some time for you to write articles on the blog and set some time when you will only reply to blog comments. By maintaining time, it is possible to write quality content on the blog. Besides, it's not right to blog unnecessarily, that's right, this thing is in someone else's blog, not in my blog, work on these issues at the specified time without wasting time.
21. Wasting time on social media
Social media is important for growing traffic to a blog. But it is not necessary to get traffic to the blog from social media. If you can grow traffic from Google search engine, then it will work even if you do not work on social media. Having a Facebook page and a Facebook group in the name of your blog is enough for social media. There is no need to waste extra time sharing new posts after posting them.
22. Creating multiple blogs
If you work with multiple blogs, you will never be able to maintain the quality of the blog. As many successful bloggers as there are in the world, they all recommend working with a blog. If you think that you can earn more money by working on different topics in different blogs, then listen, you can't make money from one blog. Concentrate on one blog without leaving multiple blogs. Then you will be able to grow traffic to the blog in a short time.
23. Not taking the opinion of experienced bloggers
Never think of yourself as an expert no matter what you know. There are some things that others know you don't know. For that, discuss the topic you are working on with other experienced bloggers on Facebook and mobile. Then the scope of your knowledge will increase further.
I didn't know much about blogging since I started blogging in 2015. There was no such thing as a blog at that time. I used to know a lot by talking on my mobile with Subel Bhai, the admin of MS Design. If you want, you can discuss blogging with such experienced bloggers.
24. Running after Adsense
Everybody goes crazy with Adsense just by setting foot in blogging. Apparently, Aladdin's magic lamp will come in handy as soon as he gets Adsense. Once you start blogging, think about how to increase traffic by sharing good quality articles on the blog without worrying about Adsense. Because if there is good quality articles and traffic in the blog, getting AdSense will not matter.
Also, suppose you approve AdSense with 20-25 posts, but your blog receives only 100-300 visitors per day. In this case, how much money can you earn despite having Adsense on your blog? With this kind of blog you will not be able to earn ৫০ 50 all year round. So before playing with Adsense, maintain the quality of your blog.
25. Not submitting blogs to search engines
It is very important to submit a new blog to various search engines. Because after creating a new blog, search engines don't know anything about it. In this case, submit your site to other search engines including Google, Bing and Yahoo search engine as soon as possible. In order to introduce new blogs to search engines, you must submit your blog to search engines.
26. Not creating backlinks
Backlinks are Google's number one ranking factor. After creating a new post on the blog, if you can create backlinks in the right way, the post will be ranked. Try to increase the backlinks for the newly published post in various ways by spending some time without writing another post as well as one post.
27. Creating backlinks in the wrong way
After reading about backlinks from different blogs, new bloggers try to create backlinks by commenting on different blogs. It shouldn't be. I'm not saying you shouldn't backlink through comments. Create backlinks through comments but in the right way. You just go and write in the comments of other blogs, we have it in our blog, read our blog. This will allow Google to treat your comments as spam and ignore your post. And once Google ignores your post, you will never be able to rank that post again.
28. Choosing the wrong domain
Most people think of acquiring a domain by following the domains of various good quality blogs. It's not right to do that. Each domain is a brand of a blog. Well known blogs are exposing their branding by the domain they are using. The importance of your branding will diminish if you take the domain in line with their name. Just as visitors do not like to see such domains, so do search engines.
29. Working for money + passion
If you only blog for money, you will never earn money by blogging. First of all, you have to take blogging as your profession. To begin with, it should be noted that my main purpose in blogging is to share my knowledge with people. People will learn a lot from my experience and know about me. Then gradually you will become known to the people through blogging and the popularity of the blog will increase. And if the popularity increases, you don't have to worry about making money.
30. Not writing posts about trending
If the blog is a bit old and the regular readership is increasing then you must try to write in the blog about contemporary trending. When it comes to topics related to your blog, people try to be the first to post creatively. If you can share such posts first, you will get a lot of visitors.
31. Do not add email subscription forms
Email subscription forms are attached to many blogs in the sidebar and below the blog. Many people do not know what happens when you add an email subscription form. If you subscribe to a channel on YouTube, just like after uploading a new video to that channel, the notification of the video goes to that email id. Email subscription forms will help increase traffic to your blog.
32. Not having social media share buttons
Not having a social media share button on the blog is a big foolishness. Someone may like reading your blog post. In this case, he would like to share your blog post on Facebook or Twitter. So add social media share buttons by floating on the top or bottom or left of your blog post.
33. No social media pages
It is very important for every small and big blog to have a social media page. You must create a page in the name of your blog. Also, when you make a new post, you must share the posts on every social media page. To get the most out of it, be sure to include links to social media pages on your blog.
These pages are mandatory for blogs -
Facebook page.
Facebook group.
Twitter page.
Pinterest Page
34. Exchange backlinks
There are some people who try to create backlinks by linking one person's blog to another's blog. There are some people who create multiple blogs for free with Blogspot and WordPress to increase backlinks through them. This type of backlink is called private backlink.
You may not know that with the update of Google Penguin Algorithm, the days of private backlinks or link exchange are over. If you have repeated links from multiple blogs, Google will treat them as Bad Backlinks. With such backlinks, your blog will not be of any use.
35. Do not add a search box to the blog
It is mandatory to have a search box in every blog. It enhances the beauty and user experience of a blog as well as helps the readers of the blog to find the post according to their needs from the blog. People who are not using the search box on the blog are losing a lot of pageviews.
36. Don't keep some important pages
What you are working on in your blog, who your team members are, what your blog's future plans are, how to protect the privacy of the blog and how readers will communicate with you, all these have to add some pages to each blog. These will greatly increase the value of your blog.
It is mandatory to have these pages in every blog-
About the blog
Contact form
Privacy policy
Sitemap page
37. Don't wait for results
No matter how great a blogger you are, writing traffic to your blog will not increase your traffic. After making a new post, it takes a long time for it to be indexed by search engines and to grow traffic from search engines. You don't have to be impatient, you have to wait patiently by analyzing the post keeping in mind the various aspects of SEO of the post. Most bloggers who are impatient with their blogs stop sharing new blog posts. If you stop posting impatiently, the traffic to your blog will continue to decrease instead of increase.
38. Changing the link to the post
There are some people who think that the link to the blog is not right. The link needs to be changed. Then they change the link to the old post. Never do such a thing. Never change the link of the post whether the post ranks or not. Because if someone from the search engine does not get the link by clicking on that post, then Google will affect the ranking of your blog. If you need to change the link for special needs, you will be redirected after changing the link. Then both the reader and the search engine will not understand about your changed link.
39. Frequently check blog traffic, comments and revenue
There are some people who don't pay attention to blogging and after a while they start checking how many views, how many comments have been made and how much money has been earned from Adsense. People who do this kind of work are not interested in making new posts if they see less traffic and earning from the blog. If you pay more attention to article writing without paying attention to these, then the traffic, comments and revenue of the blog will increase.
40 Lack of confidence
I always say that no matter what you do, you have to have confidence. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. If others can do what I know, why can't I do better than them? If you have this kind of morale and confidence, you will definitely be able to write better quality articles on the blog than others and you will be able to succeed quickly.
41. Writing posts with others
There are many bloggers who give anyone the opportunity to write articles on their blog. This is not a bad thing at all. But if you write a post with a wire, the value of your post will be lost. It may be that the style of writing your post is one way and the style of writing your post is another way, which the readers will not like. If you write a blog post with such people, you can lose the visitors of the blog.
42. Don't buy good quality hosting
Hosting is very important for WordPress blogging. If you use normal hosting at low cost, the speed of the blog will not be good. At the same time there may be problems with the server at different times. Especially if there is more traffic to the blog, you will have to deal with server related problems. So when buying hosting, buy hosting from everything.
43. Use extra pictures on the blog
It is not right to use additional images required in the blog. This is because the use of extra images reduces the page speed of the blog. Use as many pictures as you need to explain a subject. Also try to use small size pictures.
44. The design of the blog changes frequently
New bloggers in our country do not pay any attention to the quality of blog articles and only read about the design of the blog. Where it is better to give color, where it is better to give pictures, the design of such and such blog is good, we are not good. Concentrate on writing articles without paying attention to all these nonsense. People will not come to see the design of your blog, they will come to read the article. If the article is good in any minimum design blog, that blog will rank well. In this case, the design of the blog will not rank your blog.
45. Misspell
You must spell the content correctly in order to convince the search engines and the readers. Because if you misspell, the reader will have a bad idea about you. Also, if you make extra spelling mistakes and don't form sentences correctly, search engines will not be able to get the right idea about your blog post. Due to which the post will not rank easily.
46. Blog speed is low
Good blog speed is another big ranking factor of Google. If your blog is slow and loading, readers will not wait for your post to open. Because there are countless posts on Google for the reader. Don't wait to read a slow post, read another post.
47. Using more ads on the blog
Those who are new to AdSense think that the more ads they use on their blogs, the more revenue they will generate. As you may know, ordinary people get annoyed when they see advertisements while reading a blog post. Readers will ignore your blog if they use additional ads. At the same time, using more ads will reduce the speed of the blog a lot. If you lose the readers of the blog just for the sake of profit, the loss will be more than the profit.
48. Do not review the post
Most people, after writing a post, publish it directly on the blog without revising it. A good blogger can never do that. Usually after writing a post, there are many small spelling and syntax errors in that post. They are not understood or caught while writing the post. In order to correct such mistakes, you must read the post carefully before publishing the post every time you write a new post.
49. Not doing keyword research
It is very important to do keyword research before writing a post. Because before writing a post you have to write an article focusing on the keywords related to that keyword, it is very important to do keyword research to get an idea about that keyword. Moreover, in order to know the amount of searches on the internet for the post you are writing about, you must do keyword research.
Suppose you write a well-arranged post on a topic. But no one searches online about that. In this case, your entire effort will be in vain. Because by writing a post about something that is not searched on the internet, you will not get visitors. Before writing a post, you need to do keyword research to find out whether or not there is a search on the internet for the topic you are going to write about.
50. Older posts not updated
Search engines always like fresh content. Suppose you wrote a review post in 2015 about the popular hotel "Nirvana-in" in Sylhet. In the same way, another blog came in 2020 and wrote a post about the hotel "Nirvana-in" highlighting the details like you. In this case, tell yourself which post Google will give more priority to. The usual rule is that Google will give more importance to new posts. Because all the facilities that Hotel Nirvana-in had in 2015 must have changed by 2020. For this, as a rule, Google will put the new post made in 2020 at the top of the search ranking.
In the same way, you will try to keep the post you are writing updated from time to time without keeping it old. Google likes to keep up to date with old posts. Normally it is not as difficult to rank a new post as updating an old post makes it easier to rank it.
Last word
Here's a look at some of the most common mistakes a new blogger makes. I believe that if a blogger corrects these mistakes and starts blogging, it will be easier for anyone to succeed in blogging.
If someone has made such a mistake, you must correct your mistake as soon as possible. Also, if you have any other blogging mistakes besides these, you can comment on them. We will share the mistakes of your comment in our blog.
