Irregular posting: If you go to a blog and the last update was two months ago, you know the blog isn’t being updated. And while it might contain tons of useful stuff from the past, there’s no reason to subscribe or keep coming back if you don’t think new posts are coming out regularly, I can personally confirm that because I have experienced it lately when I was away from this blog for almost 3 months, which cost me more than 80% of my subscribers and nearly same percent of daily page view.
Too many posts but very few useful: People expect useful and genuine information from you, that’s why they have come to your blog. But your 5 most recent posts are all updates about competitions or a new product you’re selling or a contest on another blog instead of something useful, do you think they will stay longer and dig through 10 non-useful posts just to find one useful post. Its good idea to make some money selling affiliate product weekly roundup of what’s happening in blogspher, but give your reader their daily dose of useful information too.
Novel type unscannable post: I have dedicated post about Scannable content so I won’t bore you again with same tips, but its highly important for your post to make it scannable. In this fast and busy world people want everything instantly, this same applies to information and news too, morel of the story , craft your post in a manner that your reader can scan it for points of their interest if they can find it within a minute they arrived on your blog you earned one more subscriber.
Every time trying to Sell something: I have subscribed to many really good blogs with lots of useful information, with excellent ambiance and user friendly layout, but what made me unsubscribe was their attempt to sell something every time like in every post, along with their sidebars and headers. , there is nothing wrong in it if you do paid review or do a book review with Amazon affiliate there’s nothing wrong with that from time to time. But in every post?
Insisting subscription: Don’t force the subscription on the reader, it’s too annoying. Let them review your site first, and then decide for themselves if they want to subscribe, a friendly reminder at the end of post or a subscription widget on top of your sidebar is ok, but hammering them with pop-up subscription banner is really frustrating, don’t be so desperate to see your subscriber count rise like Zimbabwe’s Inflation . Concentrate on building reader base; write unique and useful post regularly and your subscriber count will increase automatically.
Not Replying To Any Comments: You try many strategies and plugins to make your reader comment, what good would it do if your readers or commentators are left talking to themselves? Normally, they would expect to hear your point of view especially when they ask a question in the comment. Interacting with your readers and commentators works batter then any plugin or strategy, it actually helps You Convert Your One Time Visitor into a Loyal Reader.
Not networking with other bloggers: If you’re not going to reach out to the blogging world, who is going to know you? You are not linking to other blogger because you think because it will increase their Page Rank and technocratic authority. You don’t ask questions to other blogger cause you think you too smart to do so. This is quite a childish thought actually, linking out generously, commenting and asking question on other blogs can be really helpful, If you can do this faithfully, you will realize that it batter for you then the blog you are linking to or commenting.
