build a site

In this article we will discuss the common mistakes almost everyone makes (or have done already) to start our first blog and ways to avoid or get out of them if you have previously made.

Writing a successful blog is not as simple as explaining everything you know about some specific issues, and I am convinced that this article will "retratarte" in more than one occasion and help you significantly improve your blog very easily understanding that mistakes you made ​​on your blog and how you can fix them .
Let us begin!

Error 1: Airing too different

This is a mistake that virtually everyone has ever committed. Trying to talk about everything you can think of can generarte a lot of content, but will not help at all to improve your blog. Think about what you love technology and you subscribe to the RSS feed for a blog you've read some good articles on the subject. Good surprise you get when you meet the policy literature, medicine or others in your reader.

You focus on a subject very specific and also know well. Only in this wayget the loyalty of your visitors, and really get a hearing in accordance with the theme of your blog. People should know that you will find when entering your blog. In terms of search engines, you will also be beneficial for treating a subject in depth rather than many superficially. You know, who covers a lot, just press

Error 2: Not having a target audience for your articles

Trying to please absolutely everyone. Impossible. There will always be people we like and people who do not, and perhaps more people will not die for reading your articles to the contrary. When starting a blog all think that there are 7 billion people in the world, and that is our goal. Meeeec! Error!


It is caring about the people you really like your content. How in the previous point, you should try to focus your articles. Focus on a target audience in particular and attempt to cover in as much as possible. Be realistic, think with your feet on the ground as many people might be interested in what you write and do it for them.

Error 3: Focus more on quantity than quality

If instead of having 3 items I have 30, you get 10 times more visits. Pure mathematics. Do you really believe that? You're wrong. This is one of the most common mistakes that most of the rookies make occasionally. Of course if there is quality & quantity, 2 times good, although the combination of both in one space is a scarce commodity. If all you have is quantity, the SEO will get hurt, and make matters worse, damage your professional image to remove your items.


There is a topic in the blogosphere you will see many more times than any other " content is king ". This amount is not mentioned, there must be. From experience I can say I had a blog with only 5 articles that I generated more traffic than others multiplied the number of posts for 8 or 9.

Error 4: Talking too much about you

Only consider it an error if you're not a kind of Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga, the more they talk, the more followers will. If your blog is not intended for your group of friends and you're not a star, nobody will be interested to know what you did last night to party, or what time you woke up today.


The solution here is simple: talk about something of interest to the reader . If you wait till the war stories to explain business dinners or meetings with friends. There, the valued as they deserve.

Error 5: Do not give importance to the holders

A failure much more prevalent than it seems. How much time to choose the title of your articles? Do you consider the SEO? What can alert the reader? Or generate movement in social networks? If the answer to these questions is no, I tell you that "you're shitting." The title should be your business card to potential new visitors, take advantage of it.


Take a moment to consider the points I have mentioned in previous questions. Can be of help to read this article about how to get hold of scandal to your blog .

Error 6: Move to promote your blog content

Your content is so good that it attracts the masses alone. Or, conversely, do not you think it will interest almost anyone in your circle, so do not share it just in case. Another very common fault. Sometimes fear of failure, in others by ignorance. You're letting out one of the easiest ways to generate traffic for your blog and make it known at high speed.


If you do not already have them, add social buttons to share your content readers with their own. Of course, after completing a neuvo article gives an example by sharing it you. By the time you get a viral response, you lose the fear completely. I leave a few tips to create viral content , to help you achieve your goal.

Error 7: Do not share your experience

This error is especially committed corporate blogs. Take for example the case of a company that has a blog that discusses topics related to their sector. Very often think too much information can harm and benefit competition, which will use it in their favor or, in case of service companies, such as a law firm, think we lose a potential customer solutions the problem.


Give as what kind of information will make the company shows that he knows what he's talking to the customer and see how an authority in the sector. Of course there is no 100% to explain the secrets of it, but if not monitored overly cautious.

Error 8: Do not care for spelling

It's easy to forget a wrong accent or with a letter to write an article, but too much will make spelling eprder all credibility. In addition, they say, since Google Update lived Google Panda , the spelling is another factor to consider when positioning a page in the browser.

How would your primary school teacher: " repásate before turning things . " Very often, you odd little thing strain, but there are many items where the lack of attention has caused real disasters. I am convinced that this article still contains the odd spelling mistake, but I can attribute more to sleep or ignorance that have not reread the article before publication.

Error 9: Do not spend time responding to comments

To dedicate time to answer a question that makes you a person who lives 500 km away from you if you ever come to your local client .. Wrong! A comment is a source of the most valuable traffic. Think of the amount of extra information which gives the publication by the question or opinion you have left. Furthermore, only by the fact that someone has bothered to write, deserves a response (in 90% of cases will take just over 2 minutes aiming high).


Another case of obvious solution: Take a little time to people who deign to leave comments on your site. They will thank you, and your blog, too.

For now I think that's enough ... If you think of any other common error that was not addressed in the article, you want to share a personal experience related to the above, or give your opinion about it, leave a comment!

If you think this article may be helpful for other bloggers, you have a whole range of possibilities to share with family and friends via social networking
