DOs and DON’Ts in Blogging
I would like to start with covering all the point which will help you understand what you should not do in blogging.
DON’Ts in Blogging
- Content Farming: Content farming simply refers to copying content from other popular websites into our blog/site. Most of the bloggers start blogging by just copying and pasting articles from other websites. It is obviously very bad in itself. One is taking all the credits of a good writer. But most of the Bloggers don’t bother about it. But they should know Google Panda is there to keep an eye on them. And remove their links from Google indexing, lowering their Ranks. So STOP making a content farm in your blog/site.
- Copying Images: Most of the Bloggers copy images from other blogs/sites and put it on their site. And most of the time users search images on google thinking that they aren’t copying from anyone’s blog or website. But in actual they are doing the same, those images are searched out from the blogs and sites only. Google gives us the warning in right sidebar of the page that Image may subject to copyright.
- Too many Widgets: Most of the bloggers start blogging and put so many widgets on their blog, thinking it will attract readers. But the fact is readers get annoyed with so many widgets and move away. Placing too many widgets on a blogs increases the time to load a blog also.
- Bunching Ads: Bloggers just start advertising after publishing a small number of posts on their blog with ads scattered everywhere on the blog. Readers will easily move from the blog with less content and ads everywhere. See Better Placement of Ads.
- Pop Ups: The net surfers often hate the pop-up ads and pop-up subscriptions. It makes their search complicated with unwanted opened windows and tabs, with slowing their work.
- Porn /Nude Content: Bloggers Should avoid porn/nude content on their blog/site. Most of the readers if see unwillingly this type of content will simply close the browser tab and move away. Google Publishers are not allowed to place ads on webpages with porn content.
- Choosing colors: Be careful while choosing a template for your blog. One should not choose a very dark template with a very bright color of fonts on it. It gives stress to the readers eyes and let them move from the blog.
Now some of the main points which you must consider for making your blogging experience better.
