Blog without images is like tea without sugar and like for the taste of tea sugar plays its own important part same will be for images for blogs. People will only like if your blog will be with the images.

2. Not efficient searching:

For writing on anything one should know each and every thing about that topic and half knowledge will let that knowledge like a waste.

3. Cut, copy and paste:

It is a very common thing seeing mostly as many bloggers for saving themselves from writing just cut from Google copy it and paste to the blog.

4. Not writing about particular topics:

Writing on a particular topic and going in its deep will give a perfect tuning with the blogging. As the reader wants everything on the related topic not any crap.

5. Not too much content:

This is a drawback that you are writing very less on the topic or subtopic as content also matters when it comes to blogging.

  6. Writing too much:

It is a very popular saying that “having too much or having too less,both are problem creators for a person”. So taking it in mind it should be written in proper quantity and quality.

7. No use of social websites:

In today’s time as social marketing increases very quickly with much advancement and with this using of social websites to promote your blog is a very good option.

8. Forgetting to invite readers for leaving comments or giving their
views:

When a reader reads your blog it must be necessary to take his/her view about his/her reading. So that blogger comes to know about their blog’s drawbacks.

9. Writing on a topic which nobody cares about:

Mostly it has been seen that in some blogs there are writing on a topic on which the readers doesn't care about. And it is a topic of reminding that the topic should be written by taking care of your audience.

10.Not writing blogs at a particular interval:

When you are writing your blog on your accordance then it should not be there that the result will also be in accordance to you as if you are writing an blog after a long time then it loses its market.

11.Quantity without quality:

It could be seen that in some articles there is only quantity but not quality and vice verse  In both cases the loss will be for bloggers as it directly affects the market of that blogging site.

12.Not creating proper URLs:

Writing a very excellent article but not proving efficient URL will affect that article too in the worst sense. So, it should be in mind whether to use proper URLs.

I hope you should learn something from here and avoid these mistakes in your blogging career

Measure Your Blogging Success

“If you’re blogging for business, rather than blogging about your cat, baby, fashion addiction, or crush on Taylor Swift, you need to set some success metrics,” says Jay Baer, founder of Convince and Convert.
Without a statistical measure of your blogging progress, adding content to your blog on a regular basis can be an incredibly lonely proposition. Is anyone out there? Does anyone care?
Measures -for -blogging- tips
However, within the business blogging arena there are a wide variety of potential metrics to gauge your momentum. It’s imperative that you select the most relevant ones that match with your blog’s purpose.
The first step in that process of course is to know why you’re blogging. This sounds simple, but it’s shocking how many bloggers aren’t clear on the core business rationale behind their blog initiative.
As I see it, you have 3 options:
  • Blogging for Content
    This is the scenario where you are writing a blog with considerable emphasis on search optimization, attempting to drive traffic to the blog via strategic content creation and keyword inclusion. Your metric is search traffic.
  • Blogging for Commerce
    Related to the first, but commerce-oriented blogs are more interested in conversion events than in traffic generation. Funneling traffic from the blog to some other web destination (typically a corporate site or lead form) is the primary objective. Here, your metrics are leads and conversions.
  • Blogging for Community
    These blogs seek to build a consistent readership that interacts with the blogger(s) and advocates on behalf of the content on other social outposts.
Determine the main reason why your business has a blog and pick success metrics to match.

Note: Big mistakes avoid in blogging.


#2: Pursue Guest Blogging Opportunities

One of the best ways to get exposure for your blog is to blog for other people. Rich Brooks, president of Flyte New Media, offers some great advice to start building relationships for potential guest blogging opportunities.
“Find the influential bloggers in your related industries,” says Brooks, “and read their blogs. As appropriate, leave intelligent, thoughtful comments that further the conversation. This can drive traffic to your blog and may open up opportunities for guest blogging at their blog as they become aware of you through your brilliant insights. However, this must be a win-win for it to work. If you leave comments for completely selfish reasons, you can expect limited results.”

#3: Reframe How You Look at Business Blogging

“I often hear people complain that they don’t have time to write on their business blog or they don’t know what to write about,” says Denise Wakeman, founder of The Blog Squad. “Yet a blog is one of the best tools you can use to distribute your message across the web.”
One way to move away from this mode of thinking is to reframe how you look at blogging. It’s not about writing on a blog; it’s about taking advantage of a powerful marketing tool that works for you 24/7/365. Then, schedule writing time so it doesn’t slip through the cracks in the course of a busy day or week.
Calendar
Here’s a 4-step process to get you started:
1.     Block out your writing time on a calendar.
2.     Plan your content in advance. Create an editorial calendar and plug in your topics 1 to 3 months in advance.
3.     For each of your blog categories, list a minimum of 5 topics you can cover related to your company, products and the solutions you provide.
4.     Pop them into your editorial calendar as prompts so you’re never at a loss for ideas when it’s time to create content.

#4: Add Keywords to Your Blog Titles and Posts

Rob Birgfeld of SmartBrief says keywords are the secret sauce to a successful business blog.
“It’s easy,” Birgfeld says, “to write blog posts on whatever topic springs to mind. But chances are your blog was created to help achieve business goals. In order to reach those goals, take data from your search engine marketing efforts and develop an editorial plan around your top-producing keywords.”
Gather your top 10-15 keywords or phrases and write blog posts specific to each one. Keep the content compelling, but be sure to sprinkle the selected keyword (and synonyms) throughout the post.
Most importantly, be sure to include those all-important keywords in the blog title and in the tags that you select. Not only will a keyword-driven blogging strategy help you build and plan out your editorial calendar, it will help you reach company goals via proven search engine marketing data. Thus providing you with something that’s hard to come by in social media: An easier sell to your CFO.
