Common Blogging Mistakes

Ann Omness · 2005-04-29, 01:03 PM

I've been doing blog reviews for a couple of years now, and I see a lot of the same mistakes over and over. I thought I'd start pointing them out in a thread and see if anyone has good reason for some of these practices.

Blogging Mistake #1: No real text content

A lot of adult webmasters are submitting blogs that they don't write in. I'd classify them as private TGPs or picposts or linklists done with blogging software instead of something easier to use. And I've seen some that DO have a little text, ad copy for the sponsors they promote, but it looks like they just cut and pasted the text the sponsor provided. Do they think people who read blogs are looking for something that's nothing but commercials?

I don't understand what benefit these people think they'll get from a blog without writing. I started blogging because I wanted the search engine traffic. But search engines index text. If you don't write, you don't get found.

I've been assuming that people create sites like these because they cluelessly think that if they call it a blog, traffic will magically appear. Does anybody have a better explanation?
