Top+10+Blogging+Mistakes


#1: Writing too lengthy posts.
Being in a hurry to get adsense approval, most of the newbies write too lengthy posts. Of course such posts are important but there is a lot of difference between "lengthy" and "too lengthy". Lengthy posts are important and also necessary so as to explain the topic clearly to the readers. But many people write posts containing not much info instead stuffed with unwanted junk.

Quick tip: There's nothing to do except to keep focus on the particular niche.

#4: Lack of power start in first paragraph.   
The first paragraph of the article itself steers the readers either to close the page or to scroll down. Most of the newbies start off with the topic directly without giving any introduction. Due to lack of juice in the content, readers feel bore and leaves away. 

Quick tip: Research on the topic you are about to write and draw major effects and advantages of the topic. Show the importance of the topic to the readers and force their mind to continue reading.

#5: Going away from conversation. 
This is the biggest mistake that anyone can make. Indeed it will have a serious effect immediately. Never run out of the conversation in the comments section.
