Controversy Can Drive Traffic

What not to say in your blog post. If you have ever received a rude

comment for something that you have posted to your blog,


Then you should read this.



I found an interesting article at Daily Blog Tips it talks about what
not to say when writing a post to your blog.

Blogging is great for reaching a wide audience.

The larger the audience, though, the more likely you’ll draw the wrong kind of attention.

Flame wars, lawsuits, bad PR, angry real-life relations… your blog can get you into all sorts of trouble.

Even worse, the more popular your blog becomes, the more often you’ll have to deal with this sort of negative attention. Thankfully, there’s one hard and fast rule you can use to keep your blog from getting you into needless trouble:

Never post anything you wouldn’t say in person.


It may seem simple, but it works in many different situations. Just imagine that the person or people to whom your post would be particularly relevant are going to see it.


Complaining about your job? Assume your supervisor and coworkers are going to read it. Reviewing a local diner?


Assume it will be read by the owner. Criticizing a fellow blogger? Assume he or she will catch wind of it. What’s the point of it all? The point is that many bloggers become so engrossed in standing on their personal soap boxes that they forget others are listening to them.


By taking the possible impact of your post into consideration, you’re less likely to say something inconsiderate or offensive.


Others may still take offense, especially if you’re saying something negative, but they’re less likely to retaliate if you phrase your remarks politely, the same way you might if they were standing right in front of you.

Note that this rule only helps those of us who would otherwise practice prudence and restraint vis-à-vis the subjects of our blogging.


If you’re the sort of person who doesn’t mind being openly rude, you’ll probably get in trouble anyway, blog or no blog

Your Blog Is Going To Fail

I was just looking at my book marks and decided to visit a few blogs that I have not been to in a while, the blogs I went to all had something in common. They all had low or no page rankings,

And very little traffic, I am talking about blogs that have been online since 2005 and update their sites almost daily. I figured that I should do some research and find out what they were doing wrong so I could come and share it with you.

 

I noticed something about those blogs, not only did they all have low page ranks and no traffic but they all made the same mistake,

The mistake was posting way too much information about topics that were not related to their site content.

 

If you're not trying to make money or get traffic to your blog then that's fine you can blog about anything that you want to.

 

However if your one of those "few" people who blog to make money then, you need to stop what you're doing and erase all the post's

that have nothing to do with your blog's main focus.

 

Basically if you created your blog to talk about fish then write about fish, and post links to other fish sites.

 

Do not post topics about golf related articles in your fish blog.

You're confusing the people who come to your site, they thought they were coming to read about fish and you just told them what

the best new golf club on the market is. Your Blog Is Going To Fail.

 

They call it having a niche

A blog is something completely different then a web site. A blog is a blog.

 

There aren't any sections or different departments so you can have

numerous topics all in one blog. In a blog you have to focus on one particular topic and write post's that relate to that topic.

 

It can be a hard thing to do at times, especially if you are posting daily.

 

However, if you do not choose a niche topic for you blog you might find that readers will either never read or subscribe to your blog, or people will just stop coming to your site.

 

If you choose a niche topic, you have a greater chance in keeping a targeted audience.
