  • Non employment of the profit that RSS presents. Surprisingly, some blogs today do not even have the option to subscribe to its RSS (Really Simple Syndication). In simple terms, this is a way for readers to be made aware of new content when you post it and to read this content (or part of it) in a more suitable way.  Make it ahabit to put a link to your RSS feed in some place where it could be seen by the visitors.
  • Blog contents that are quite long.  Long content does not signify interesting content.  If your blog posts are shorter the more chances your readers will stick to it. Blog posts of roughly 2-3 paragraphs are enough but make surmake it a point that they are reasonble length.
  • ”About” page could not be found. People usually want to know more about you if they consider that the content of your site interesting. Setting up an about page assures people that there’s a real person writing the articles.
  • No Blog directories record.  Bloggers who dedicate a few minutes of their time to set up their profile and get themselves listed in blog directories get better hits than those who don’t.  This is one of the top places to find bloggers who are from your targeted market.

The more popular your blog reaches, the more you will realize what a good investment to promote your business.
