8 Things to Avoid in Blogging

Maybe, if you think about it, why should there things to avoid in blogging? Want what's up who have a blog, right. However, if realized, blogging is not just an individual activity. Blogging remains an activity that is in contact with many people, especially visitors and fellow bloggers. Aside from being a creative process of writing and managing a blog, a blogger has a very broad social dimensions (social networking). And of course, you also want your blog visited by many people, have a lot of pageviews, writings are appreciated, and some who want to earn an overflow.

1. Blogging without a plan (planning)
A plan is essential for all activities and employment, including blogging. The plan here does not mean anything to be complex, but rather the initial composition of what will be done when blogging, what to write, what will be presented to the reader, what is the purpose of the article, and so on until the purpose of the blog created themselves. Planning or plans will determine the next step of many steps when blogging and bring consistency and a strong spirit. Make a simple plan whatever.

2. Write a blog without spirit and without the use of liver
Writing articles is a fun activity if done sincerely. Just as you wrote in the diary, writing a blog is a creativity that can not be ruled out heart. The feeling when writing, emotion conveyed, and combined with the power of the brain will produce writing that really speaks and not just appear as text, that's where the spirit will appear. Jot down what is understood and is the craze will look more alive and can be written quickly than writing that was written just as the demands of the filling and add blog articles.

3. Blogging without socializing (social networking)
Blogging is not just merely activities that focus on writing a blog without getting out of the "shell. Blogging is known as one of the means of socialization in cyberspace. Socialization is just like if we build friendships in the real world. We can play together, discuss, comment on, and even may also argue to find a way out. Be active commenting on other blogs, following forums, directories, social bookmarking, blogging communities and other social networks. goal is not to create exclusivity, but rather to the association. I myself do not agree with an exclusive community that discriminate between amateur and professional so as if there is a celebrity and her fans.

4. Contains articles stolen / copied without the knowledge of the author's original
One thing that needs to be underlined is to imagine how a blog writers know that one of the stolen article without permission and without including a link source / original article. Of course it would be very painful if the effort he has devoted all ideas / thoughts, feelings, observations that compiled as the capital in writing the article. Perhaps just a blogger say, "Ah wrote were legitimate, why the hell the problem?" There are even comments that I received on this blog which read: "Basic lo blogger stingy!" I just shook my head, and since no name (anonymous) and without a link, I delete those comments. Stingy? If the logic of who is stingy, I as the author of the original article which he had coffee without permission, or he who has copy-paste articles without permission and without providing a link back? I think the answer was self-evident. Articles that are not native have huge consequences on the credibility of the blog owner, because if there is not enough mastery and understanding, and ethically wrong, then visitors will be assessed the appropriate really. Believe lah. And the question, what is the weight of providing a link source?


5. Long time no update articles / posts.
Blogging is about conveying ideas, information, opinions, solutions, stories, and so forth. If the blog is not updated for a long time, then you could say the blog is not a choice someone (who said bloggers) to deliver these things. In addition, if a blog has regular visitors, of course, this will lead to disappointment. Ends ya, search engines also so lazy to visit and see if there are new updates. Update your time as best article, unless indeed there is no obstacle that can not be avoided, and certainly not for "lazy". The important thing is not to many months to many years left.

6. Blogging just for the money and excessive (over-monetized)
Who does not like money? Definitely no. However, if blogging solely for the money, then the essence of blogging activity itself can be damaged. Imagine if a blogger just talking about money, money, and money in his blog without any articles of interest in something else, of course, visitors will get bored. Motivation for the money, fine. But not until you stare at it and forget it all, the essence of blogging is to write something interesting on the blog in the author's personal point of view. Avoid filling the entire blog with things that just reeks monetization because it will interfere with views and also increase the time loading blog. Something that making money is not all about the money itself, but a lot of other creative things, including articles that creatively.

7. Using the widget is too excessive and without apparent motivation (over-widgetized)
One of the factors that make visitors comfortable is the look of the blog. A blog that too many widgets it can make visitors feel uncomfortable. There are two reasons for this: The views which are not the focus and long loading times. In several previous articles I have mentioned that the images and javascript files that are too numerous and large size can affect page load time. One thing that is sometimes very annoying for me is when a blog entry that uses the widget music (mp3), be sure to read the article to read the article to be out of focus and too heavy loading. For visitors who use internet file quota, of course they would think about it anymore because it opens the music widget blog will drain much internet quota. Avoid use widget that does not affect any valuation visitors. Maximize widgets for social networking or navigation functions. The only way to show off the most potent effect on the blogs and bloggers, are presenting a quality article.

8. Writing for Google and instead to Visitors
A SEO blog which was good fun of course. However, if the blog visitors do not have value, certainly questionable. Is motivation blog was made? Just Google indexed and has a good SERP? Is a blog does not require visitors and provide content that visitors find him worth after a search on Google? If only to play keywords, SERP and SEO, would seem to preclude the necessity many visitors itself, which is the real target of the blog. Make an article that motivation to visitors in advance so that it has a value (value). Only then pay attention to things related to SEO, good editing keywordnya, promotion and link building, and so on.
