8 Things to Avoid In Blogging

Maybe, if you think about it, why should there are 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 is still an activity that intersect with many people, especially visitors and fellow bloggers. Apart from being a creative process of writing and managing a blog, a blogger has a very broad social dimension (social networking). And of course, you also want your blog visited by many people, have a lot of page view, writing is valued, and some are want to earn in abundance.
Whatever the motivation, many things we must kedepankan to have a nice blog. In previous posts, I've delivered on Blogging Tips are not compulsory Live By. Well this time I will give another perspective on the things that need to be avoided in blogging. What should be avoided and need not be done? Let's see:


1. Blogging without a plan (planning) A plan is essential for all activities and work, including in blogging. The plan here does not mean something to be complex, but rather the initial composition of what is done when it will be blogging, what will be written, what will be presented to the reader, what is the purpose of the article and so on until the goal of the blog made it his own. Planning or the plan will determine the next steps many steps when blogging and bring consistency and a strong spirit. Make a simple plan whatever it is.
2. Write a blog without passion and without the use of liver Writing articles is a fun activity if done with sincerity. Just as you write in the diary, writing a blog is a creativity that can not be ruled out heart. Feeling when writing, emotion conveyed, and combined with the power of the brain will produce writing that is really talking and not just appear as text, that is where the spirit will appear. Jot down what is understood and is an avocation would seem more alive and can be written quickly than writing that was written only because of the demands of the filling and add blog articles.
3. Blogging without socializing (social networking) Blogging is not only the activities that focus solely on writing on a blog without getting out of the "shell. Blogging is known as one means of socialization in cyberspace. Socialization is like if we build friendships in the real world. We can play together, discuss, comment, and even may also argue to find a way out. Be active commenting on other blogs, follow the forums, directories, social bookmarking, blogging communities and other social networks. The goal is not to create exclusivity, but rather to the association. I myself also do not agree with the exclusive community of distinction between amateur and professional so as if there is a celebrity and his 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 an author of the blog know that one of the stolen article without permission and without including the link source / original article. Of course it will be very painful if with an effort he has devoted all his ideas / thoughts, feelings, observations yangdikumpulkan as their capital in writing the article. It may be a blogger says, "Ah it's a legitimate aja, why does diributin?" There's even a comment that I received on this blog which read: "Basic lo blogger stingy!" I just shook my head, and because there is no name (anonymous) and without the link, the comments I delete it. Stingy? If the logic of who is stingy, I as the author of the original article that he had copies without permission, or he who has copy-paste the article without permission and without giving a link back? I think, the answer was self-evident. Original articles that do not have major consequences on the credibility of the blog owner, because if there is no mastery and understanding enough, and is ethically wrong, then visitors will also assess the appropriate really. Believe it is. And the question, weighing what the heck give the link a source?

    Blogging closely with creativity, and at this stage that the location where you can develop the creativity and credibility, or vice versa, it lowers the quality and credibility of yourself as a Blogger. And the point: everything, including money, can be accomplished easily if the use of creativity and high credibility.
5. Long time no update articles / posts. Blogging is about convey thoughts, information, opinions, solutions, stories, and so forth. If the old blog was not updated, then you could say the blog is not a choice someone (who he bloggers) to convey these things. In addition, if a blog has to have regular visitors, of course this will cause disappointment. Ya its end, search engines also so lazy to visit and see if there are new updates kalu. Update the article as much as your time, 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 of abandonment.
6. Blogging only for money and exaggeration (over-monetized) Who does not love money? Definitely no. However, if blogging solely for money, then the core of blogging activity itself can be damaged. Imagine if a blogger just talking about money, money, and money in his blog without any single article of interest in other things, of course, visitors will be bored. The motivation for the money, okay. But do not let you stare at it and forget it all, that the essence of blogging is to write something interesting on the blog (English: to blog) in the author's personal point of view. Avoid filling the blog with all the things that just smells monetization because it would be very disturbing sight and also prolong the time of loading the blog. Something that makes money is not all about money itself, but many other creative things, including creative articles.
7. Using a widget that is too excessive and without clear motivations (over-widgetized) One factor that makes visitors comfortable is the look of the blog. A blog that too many widgets can actually make visitors feel at home no. There are two reasons for this: The view is out of focus and a long loading time. In several previous articles I have alluded to that image and javascript files that are too numerous and large in size can affect page load time. One thing that is sometimes very disturbing to me is when a blog entry that uses the widget music (mp3), we can be sure to read the article to read the article become unfocused and too heavy loading. For visitors who pake internet quota number of files, of course they will be more to think about it anymore because it opened the blogs berwidget music will drain a lot of internet quota. Avoid pengguaan widget that has no effect whatsoever on the assessment of visitors. Maximize widget for navigation functions or social networking. The only way to show off the most potent effect on the blogs and bloggers, is presenting a quality article.
8. Writing for Google and not for Visitors An SEO blog that was good fun of course. But, if for visitors of these blogs have no value, would need to be questioned. Is motivation blog was made? Only that Google indexed and have a good SERP? Is a blog not require visitors and provide content that visitors find him worth it after a search in Google? If only to play keywords, SERP and SEO, will likely override the needs of visitors itself, which is the real target of the blog. Make articles that his motivation for visitors in advance so it has a value (value). Only then pay attention to things related to SEO, both keywordnya editing, promotion and link building, and so on.
