Hello readers, this morning I was looking for a blog about making money online to make a couple of consults about some affiliate programs, but I couldn’t find the blog through my bookmarks, I must missed it when I formated my pc the last year. Although I tried to remember the title/url of the blog, I couldn’t and finally I ended searching on Google and finding the information I wanted but not in the respective blog. This fact inspired me to write this post about the commons which makes you forget a blog.

The following is a list of ten things that make you forget a blog. Because although I searched on Google for that blog, even the keywords of making money online could not help me to find it with million of results. Try to avoid the ones listed bellow:

1. The URL too long or too hard to remember: this is the principally because people forget about blogs. When I was thinking on a domain name for this blog, I discarded a list of about 20 URLs, leaving about 8 of them. If your blog has a *hard to remember* URL, your readers could start to leave it. The best is to choose a short URL or if it is long, it should be easy to remember.
2. A Bad title: this point relates to the first. The normal is to set the title according to your blog’s URL but it may not strictly be the same. If the title of your blog is too long, you can have in the URL an abbreviation. However, the title is something important, you may select it relating to your brand or something that anyone read it on Internet and recognize it easily.
3. A Bad logo: this is part of your brand. When you are going to create a blog, you should have plus the url and title, a logo for your blog. You may have a logo related to your title or niche. Many people uses as logo a picture or animated caricature of themselves, others use the initials of their blog’s name. It is up to you, but you should have something that anyone recognize it on social networks or ads.
4. Poor or repeated content: if your blog has poor quality posts with many grammar errors of simply bad content, your blog will be forbidden. It is important to read your post several and adjust anything which you consider neccesary. Also, if you steal or copy the content of other blogs, your readers will start to leave because they could read the same content in other blogs, may be best than yours. I don’t want to say with this that you must post 1000% original content, if you search on google “Reasons Why I Forget Your Blog” may be you will find several results, thousand or probably millions. I mean that you need to write your own content to your way.
5. You neglect to post: with this I want to say that if you don’t update your blog’s content often, the people who follows you regularly will start to leave your blog. Besides of keeping your blog updated, It is important to pay attention to your readers and reply to their mails or comments. It is better to have few faithful readers to have many occasional readers.
6. 1000 bloggers or more use your theme: it is better to have an own theme that one which everybody has over the web. With this you will not lose all your readers, but it’s something that helps to lose a handful of them. Your theme is like your personality, your presentation. If thousand of bloggers has your theme, it will be bored to your visitors if they’ve look that theme before.
7. A Bad navigation: may be you have paid for your theme, but if it has a bad navigation it will be hard to surf. A simple design with everything easy to find is the best way to avoid this cause. An archive or sitemap it is perfect to help to your readers to find the content on your blog.
8. Longtime to load: try to not overload your blog with many content. I have seen blogs, which shows like 10 posts a page, and this is bad, if your blog has many content, scripts or banners it could take many time to load, more than usual. Try to control that.
9. Your blog is boring: I once wrote a post about this point, about which makes your blog boring. Avoiding scrolling on your blog and having your posts clear of banner’s tons will help to make your blog more fun for reading.
10. Nothing special, your web isn’t unique: there is a possibility that your blog is not bad, but neither is surprising. You should try to have something different to other bloggers: attitude, humor, style… Something particular that distinguishes you from the masses. This is up to you, you may find the way to be the unique possible.

And cut! there are your 10 reasons why I could forget your blog. Try to not make these mistakes or if you did use one of them then try in the most possible way to correct it. Remember, never is not too late to correct the mistakes made on the past .
