Don’t know about blogging platform ??

Basically blogging platform can be defined as the software or service that allows you to blog online.

What’s your domain ? Who’s your host ?

3.Considering Quantity Over Quality

This is the most common mistake every newbie blogger do in his initial days of blogging. i.e considering the quantity of content over the quality of content .

Always remember, Quality will always be the king but that does’t means quantity does’t play any role .

Always try to focus on quality of content .

It’s better to have 10 quality articles than having 100 articles that won’t help you in anything.

If you will focus on the quality then my friend you are one step more closer to success in blogging.

Always try to write unique content and say a big NO to copying and content spinning. these things won’t work for longer.

4.Neglecting Social Media

 

Wuhhh !!!! You don’t know social networks are the second best source of traffic after google, and some people neglect them.

Actually they don’t know the potential of the social medias, and who knows its potential uses them to make money online.

You could get highly targeted traffic from the best social networks like facebook and google plus . All matters is how you deal with the social media. some people use them for time pass.

5. No SEO / Wrong SEO

 

SEO ( search engine optimization ) would be a new term for the newbie bloggers,and many of them would consider it as easy to understand and simple.

But It’s not .

One of the way to build authority of your domain is backlinks but wait it’s not that you build up 100+ backlinks in a single day,

If you are one of those who build links at this speed then you are doing a biggest mistake which would be very harmful for your blog/website.

Excess of everything is bad . So slow down , build 7-10 links in a single day.
