70+ Blogging Mistakes that a blogger should not make

Earlier in a post I had told about 7 mistakes in blogging due to which your blogging can come to an end, but today in this post you are going to get information about all the mistakes made by bloggers.

If you read this post completely till the end, then I can guarantee that after that you will never make any mistake in blogging.

Bloggers make these blogging mistakes

Mistake 1 : Considering blogging as a burden : If you do blogging and you consider it as a burden, then you will not be able to do blogging.. because if you will not be able to do the work, then you will not get good result, now in such a situation you will get frustrated and quit blogging in some time.

Therefore, before starting blogging, you must find out what you are interested in.

Mistake 2 : Not posting daily : Although you have posted very good posts on your blog, but if you do not post regularly then no one will like your blog much.

Mistake 3:  Writing a copyright post : It is easy to copy a post and publish it on your blog, so all the new bloggers think, why should we work so hard, just copy and post the post. But they do not know how many disadvantages there are in copying and posting the post.

Mistake 4:  Not doing SEO in the post : If you have a blog and you want your post to appear in search, then you will have to do SEO.

Mistake 5:  Writing a short post : If you are writing a post on a topic then write it in details, and if you do this then the post will automatically become long, which is liked by both visitors and Google. Try to write a detailed post of minimum 600+ words.

Mistake 6:  Not using images in blog posts : Many bloggers make this mistake, they do not use images in their posts. You should know that if a post is shared somewhere, an image is seen in it whenever more people click on it.

And you should know that 1 image is worth 1000 words , so wherever an image is required, definitely use it.

Mistake 7:  Difference in the language of the post : Select the language in which you write the post or want to write, and see which language your visitors will like the most. If you do not pay attention to this, then this can also cause you harm.

Mistake 8:  Writing posts on blogging : I do not say that you should not write posts on blogging . What I mean to say is that most bloggers do this, as soon as they come to know something about blogging, they start posting it on their blog.. but they do not get good results because they are already in high quality. There are a lot of posts.. and new bloggers do not have that much knowledge about blogging.

Mistake 9:  Not posting according to your knowledge : Choose the category in which you have more knowledge and work on it. Some bloggers are such who move from health to technology or from technology to motivation. You don't have to do this.

Tip: You can add different types of categories to your blog and post in them. For example, if your blog is on technology, then you can create many categories in it like Computer, Internet, Social Media, Software etc.

Mistake 10:  Being lazy while writing a post : You should know how many visitors will read the post you write. You should not write posts while being lazy because the post you write will be read by many people and if you make a mistake while writing the post, it will have a negative impact on your image.

So keep this in mind, whenever you write a post, do it with full energy, without laziness.. so that you can give your 100% in it.

Mistake 11:  Do not use useless words or sentences in the post : If you are writing a post on a topic, then talk about that topic only, do not start talking about anything in order to increase the length of the post, this will have a more negative impact on the blog.

Mistake 12:  Quality of post is not correct : Many bloggers make this mistake, as everyone must know that the post has to be written by targeting a keyword.. so in an attempt to keep the density of that keyword correct, they spoil the quality of the post.

Mistake 13:  Not writing posts for visitors : The posts we write are read by the visitors who come to our blog, so we have to write every post keeping them in mind.

You should know what your visitors want from you and what you can do for them.

For more information on this, read: How to write high quality posts that are liked by visitors and Google.

Mistake 14:  Not reading posts on other blogs : Just because you blog, it does not mean that you are a perfect person or that you know everything.

If you want to stay in blogging then you have to keep learning regularly, and you have to keep improving yourself by reading other blogs so that you can make good posts.

*Never think that if this is my blog then why should I go to another blog ;)

Mistake 15:  Not doing guest posting : If you want to improve the ranking of your blog with the help of backlinks and you want more people to ask for information about your blog, then the best and most correct way is guest posting.

You can read here what are the benefits of doing a guest post.

Mistake 16:  Do not write a post by cheating : If you are posting something which is already there then in a way you are wasting your time, if you want to get the fruits of your hard work on the post you have written then you will have to do something by cheating which is not already there.

Whenever you write a post, do a search and see and if there is a post already in its category then write a post in a better and nice way so that your post is useful, otherwise if the same post is already there then why will anyone come to your blog and in such a case why will Google also show your blog on the top.

Mistake 17:  Not commenting on other blogs : If you read the posts of other blogs and never comment on them, then also you are making a mistake in one way, because commenting does get you a backlink, but if you comment something good, then you will also develop a good relationship with the site owner, which indirectly benefits you.

Mistake 18:  Not replying to comments : Not answering the comments (questions) received on your blog has a negative impact on the blogger's image. And because of this people stop coming to the blog because they do not get any reply. So reply to as many comments as possible.

Mistake 19:  Using wrong language in comment : A wrong thing is always wrong no matter how it is, and if you use wrong words in comment then don’t even think that someone will praise you or someone will like it. So never use wrong language anywhere.

Mistake 20:  Not selecting the right platform (Blogger / WordPress): Most bloggers make this mistake in the beginning; they select the platform for blogging without thinking which would be right for them.

Mistake 21:  Not buying a domain (using a subdomain): When we create our free blog on any free platform (like blogger, wordpress or weebly), they give us a subdomain. (abc.blogspot.in , abc.wordpress.in or abc.weebly.in).

But if you are interested in blogging then first of all how to buy your domain,

Mistake 22:  Not selecting the right theme : The design of the blog is a very important factor.. and before using any template/theme, do proper research and use the one that is best for your blog.

The theme should have all these features:

• Fast Loading
• Mobile Friendly
• User friendly, so that anyone can use the site easily.
• SEO Friendly

Mistake 23:  Working on different categories : If you want regular visitors to come to your blog and they follow your blog, then the most beneficial thing is to keep your blog in categories.. so that whoever comes to your blog is clear about what is in this blog..

If you post on different topics then no one will understand what topic the blog is on and in such a case no one will follow your blog.

Mistake 24:  Wasting time in managing the blog : I have seen many bloggers who spend all their time in such work which has no meaning.

Keep a fixed time for every work, how much time to write a post, when to reply to comments, when to manage the blog… so that time is not wasted in useless works.

Mistake 25:  Wasting time on social media : Social media is very important and it is also useful in promoting the blog, but being active on social media for more than a limit is also harmful.. because we do not gain as much from it as we would lose by wasting time.

How to increase traffic from Facebook . Read the blog's ware so that you can use Facebook but in the right way.

Mistake 26:  Making many blogs (not being able to give proper time to even one blog): Many people think that if they have more blogs then they will earn more, but they do not pay attention to the fact that earning will happen only when the blog has quality.. Instead of making 2-3 blogs, if you work hard on just one blog, you will get better results.

Mistake 27:  Not making a blogging time table (Blogging Schedule): We have to update the blog posts day by day, we have to devote a lot of time throughout the day to SEO, guest post, backlink, social media etc.

For this I would recommend you to make a time table. Because whatever work you do by making a time table , it will be done on time and in the right manner along with it all other things will be managed.

Mistake 28:  Not taking advice from other bloggers : Keep connecting with other bloggers in the blogging field so that if ever you need some help, you can take it from them.

The meaning of eating is to stay in the community of bloggers, do not try to go alone.

Mistake 29:  Playing games with Adsense : If you have a blog and you use Adsense on it, then you should know that if you do anything wrong with Adsense, it can get banned.

Mistake 30:  Not targeting blogging : Here target means objective. You should do blogging with a target. Always keep your target that you have to post so many posts in this much time or promote it so much.. and increase this many visitors..

If you don't have a target, you will not be able to work hard properly.

Mistake 31:  Do not share blog post on social media : You should know how many people use social media, so you have to take advantage of it and share your post on social media.

Mistake 32:  Google, bing, yahoo etc. But not submitting the blog : Many people create a blog and start uploading posts but do not submit their blog to the search console , but you should know that as much as it is important to upload a post, it is equally important to tell the search engines about the blog's ware yes.

Mistake 33:  Not creating a backlink : Backlink is an important factor from the SEO point of view, so if you want your blog to come on top in search then create high quality backlink for your blog.

Mistake 34:  Wrong choice of domain : Domain is a very important part of a website, because it is the identity of the website. But many people make mistakes while choosing a domain and they choose a domain which is not available to them. Similarly, there is some popular blog already which is wrong. Because we cannot create our own brand with it.

Mistake 35:  Not working for money + passion : Do not run the blog only for money or only for passion, maintain both things, so that you can earn and also enjoy blogging.

Mistake 36:  Not writing posts on trending topics : You can use Google Trends to find out about trending topics, what people are searching for the most right now. In this way, if you post on trending topics, then the chances of getting more visitors will increase.

Mistake 37:  Considering blogging as a compulsion : Everyone starts blogging as a hobby, till date I have neither heard nor seen that anyone does blogging without hobby.

But I think there will be bloggers who are forced to do blogging (they do not have money for that). I would like to tell him that you will definitely be successful but you will have to work hard.

Mistake 38:  Adding unrelated content in the post : It has been seen many times that apart from the topic on which the post is, many extra things are added in the post which have no meaning at all. Do not do this at all.

Mistake 39:  Adding unnecessary widgets to the blog : New bloggers make this mistake because they do not know which widget to install and which not to install, so they install whatever widget they get, which reduces the speed of the site and they do not get any benefit.

Mistake 40:  Not adding an Email Subscribe Box to the blog : By adding the Email Subscriber Widget, visitors can easily subscribe to it by entering their email, so that whenever a new post is published, its notification goes to the email. This way you get free traffic.

Mistake 41:  Not adding social share button in the blog : If a reader likes your post, or wants to share the information in it with others, then it is very important to have a share button for his/her support.

If it is not there in your blog then add it now.

Mistake 42:  Not creating a social page of your blog : If you have a blog and you want to promote it on social sites through your blog followers, then definitely create a page of your blog on social sites.

Information about how to create a social page:

• How to create a Facebook page
• How to create a Twitter Page
• Create a Page on Pinterest

Mistake 43:  Not adding the Social Follow button to the blog : Whatever social pages the blog has, so that the visitors can follow them directly from the blog, definitely add the Social Follow Widget.

Mistake 44:  Exchanging Blog Links : Some people exchange links for the sake of backlinks and traffic, they put the link of some other site on their site and their site on their site.. but it causes more harm than benefit and even Googleconsiders it a bad backlink.

Mistake 45:  Applying for Adsense before time : Many bloggers make this mistake. Simple formula: (created a blog –> wrote 1 post –> applied for Adsense = Adsense rejected) After creating a blog, there is no need to work on it, it is very important to do hard work.

Mistake 46:  Not adding a search box to the blog : If a visitor comes to the blog and needs to search for some information on your blog, it is important to have a search box for him, otherwise the visitor will be forced to leave the blog.

Mistake 47:  Not creating an important page : The identity of a blog is its about us and contact us pages. If you apply for AdSense then this page should be there before that.

You can know how to create a page by clicking on its link:

1. About us
2. Contact us
3. privacy & policy
4. Disclaimer

Mistake 48:  Not waiting for the result : You must have heard this, the fruit of patience is sweet. The same thing applies here. But many bloggers make this mistake. Whenever they post something on their blog, they want immediate result and when they don’t get the result, they close the blog.

Mistake 49:  Not taking backup of the blog from time to time : It is also very important to take backup of the blog, because you never know when some error may occur in the blog, or you make some mistake or it may get hacked, then you must have complete data to restart the blog, so that the hard work done on the blog is not wasted.

Mistake 50:  Changing permalink repeatedly : If you change the permalink of your post and open it with the old link then you will get a 404 error, so be careful while setting the link, and if still necessary then 301 redirect it to the new URL.

Mistake 51:  Looking at traffic, comments and income every minute : There are many bloggers who, leaving aside their important blogging work, keep looking at traffic and earnings every minute. If it does not increase they even get disappointed. But they do not think that in the time they are spending in looking at these every minute, they could have written a good post.

Mistake 52:  Not having confidence in yourself : self confidence – We should have faith in ourselves that if we do this then we will get 100% result. And this tip works 1000% in blogging. You should have confidence in yourself.

Mistake 53: Getting  someone else  to write the post  : Actually this is not a mistake, but it can also be considered a mistake, if you get the post written by someone else then it is possible that their way of writing is different which your visitors may not like.

Mistake 54:  Wasting money (buying useless theme, hosting, plugins): This applies everywhere, if there is a need to invest more money in blogging then invest there only and avoid unnecessary extra expenditure.

Mistake 55:  Working on a slow laptop/computer : No matter how fast our speed is, we have to work according to our computer, so it is very important for it to be fast.

Mistake 56:  Working on slow internet (2G) : Using slow internet is also wrong, because if you use slow internet then something that takes 1 second will load in 3 seconds, so you can guess how much time will be wasted.

Mistake 57:  Introducing yourself in every post of the blog : (Hello, I am Jitendra Singh Rao from Rajasthan), (Hiiii, how are you) Instead of adding sentences like this, it is better to add an author box at the end of the post and give your information in it, so that your visitors do not waste their time by reading them again and again.

Mistake 58:  Adding too many images in the post : In one of the points above, it was mentioned that you should use at least one image, but also keep in mind that do not use too many images, otherwise the loading time will increase… so use only useful images.

Mistake 59:  Not using a professional logo : It is important to have a good logo for the blog so that whoever sees it remembers it, which is also very important for branding.

If there is a good logo then it will bring some good luck to the website.

Mistake 60:  Changing the design every second : It is very important to have a good design of the blog, but along with that, if you change the design every second, it will have a bad impact on SEO. So keep this in mind and select a good design in the first time itself.

Mistake 61:  Making mistakes in spelling : Blog visitors can identify what kind of blogger you are by looking at your writing skill and spelling. Therefore, while writing posts on your blog, pay full attention to spelling.

I have shared here the information on how to check Hinglish spelling mistakes, in which if you make any mistake, it will be corrected automatically. 

You should use Grammarly to correct English grammar and mistakes.

Mistake 62:  Not creating an email list : Make sure to create an email list by collecting emails of blog readers, through this youcan do FB ad or email marketing , which is very important.

Mistake 63:  Not paying attention to blog speed : Along with a good blog design, the blog should also have a fast loading speed, which is important for both SEO and visitors.

Mistake 64:  Putting Ad Code in Every Post : This mistake is mostly made by bloggers who use Blogspot platform, who put ad code in HTML in every post to put ads in between the posts, which is a wrong method.

If after doing this, it ever happens that you have to get rid of the addiction, it can become very difficult.

Mistake 65:  Not proofreading : After writing the post, it is very important to check it thoroughly and remove the mistakes.. and the correct way of proof reading is.. after writing the post, take some time off, then read the entire post, correct the mistakes and then publish it.

Mistake 66:  Not renewing domain hosting : There are some bloggers who do not pay attention to when their domain or hosting is expiring. Do not make such a mistake and keep this in mind.

Mistake 67:  Post spamming : Sharing posts everywhere in order to get more traffic to the blog can also be a big mistake, because in this way people will get upset and after that they will start ignoring you completely and you would not want this at all.

Mistake 68:  Not paying attention to branding : If you want to increase your popularity, then you will also have to keep in mind that people should know the name of your blog and who is running it i.e. you.. People should also know you..

Mistake 69:  Not updating the post : It happens many times that some posts become outdated, meaning the information shared in it has changed. In such a case, it is very important to update the post and correct it so that the visitor gets the correct information and comes to the site with double permission.

Mistake 70:  Neglecting security : This is one of the biggest mistakes, because if security is not taken care of properly then anything can go wrong with the blog.

• How to increase the security of WordPress

Mistake 71: Not using professional email : I don’t need to tell you how important email is for a blogger and one must have a professional email.
