1. Writing or buying as much content as possible. Most of the time he focus on quantity than on quality. A blog always need quality content. When writing or buying content for a blog, keep in mind that a visitor that come to your site to leave it after 10 seconds and not come it again brings no value. For a new blog it loses potential visitors and subscribers.
2. Getting as many links as possible, no matter what. The most used methods includes spamming forums with unrelated posts and leaving “Just want to say hello” comments on every blog they land. Forum postings and blog comments are are effective only when used to post relevant information and to build a brand to your online presence. Forums and Blogs are social tools and they should be used as such. They pass no page rank and the search engine reputation passed by them is 0 or very close to it.
3. Focusing on optimizing the blog instead of adding more quality content. This is what everyone does when he starts a blog. Everyone reads a lot of SEO related news and they try to optimize their blog. The result is that too much time is spent for optimizing a blog which contains little content, instead of spending it on adding more content.
4. Being a solitaire blogger. Focusing most of the time on adding quality content and optimization is not the best way to promote a blog. Every successful blogger is a very social blogger. The chance for a blog to compete with mammoth sites super optimized is to be a part of the blogosphere and to be promoted on social media. You can achieve it by linking to and being linked from other blogs, having a social profile on social media sites and building relations with other people.
5. Not focusing on the same niche. It’s hard to find all the time interesting topics on the same niche. Most of the bloggers are tempted to write something interesting even if is not related to their niche. This will make them to lose some subscribers and regular visitors who are interested in the blog niche but are disappointed that they have to read many unrelated articles.
