Hello everybody, as I told you yesterday, the post of today will be related to the suggestion made through my Skribit. Now, I’m going to give you some tips to increase the amount of readers in your blog .

To survive, the blogs need to have readers. The readers are a factor which can determinate the grade of success of a blog. A blogger can be the best of the Internet, but if he has not readers, it will be difficult to him to reach his goals ( as blogger ).

A primary goal of the bloggers is to have more readers. More than yesterday or the past week, but it’s too important to increase your readers to reach the success you want. But sometimes, is not too easy to catch the people who stop by your blog. So let’s check some tips to increase these amount of readers:

1. Good Content: Obviously, if your content is not good, the people will not read it. Writing quality content you will catch more people than you think. Remember, quality is best than quantity!!.
2. Taking part in Social Media Networks: This is very important if you want to expand your network and increase your subscribers. On Internet there are many social networks where you can socialize, make friends and share your blog posts! But is not enough by signing up, plus you need to be an active member to attract the people’s attention.
3. Making Contests: This is a good way to get more readers, and I will tell you why. The people like to participate in all these activities where they can win something for free. So you can give away whatever: entrecredits, banners, textlinks…. The truth is that you will get more readers if you know how to promote that contest.
4. Making Polls: Polls are a good tool because they can give you indicatives about a specific topic, but also, it can improve the amount of readers in your blog. Just make sure to place the widget in a visible area, so the people could vote easily.
5. Buying Advertising: Buying advertising, for example banners, textlinks or a review, will improve considerably your readers. If you advertise on JohnChow, thousand people will see your banner in a single day. So imagine how many people will see your banner, and visit your site in a month!?.

For now I could think on these five ways to increase your readers, but surely there are many more, I don’t know everything! Would be nice to hear some suggestions from you, this way we could learn together .

Happy Blogging : )

Every blogger has him own way to manage him blog: its appearance, posts and singularity. But sometimes, the bloggers forget something very important, that they are writing to other people, and what they do in their blog will create an image of them in the visitors. What that means? that simply means that everything you do in your blog will reflect your personality, and if you do wrong things your readers possibly will get a wrong image about you and they will start to leave and go away !. And what are those things that ruin your blog and make your readers go away from it ? I create a little list of things which will help you to be alarm when you’re blogging.

6 Things which ruins your blog and make your readers leave forever!

1. Repeating your posts: this is very common with promoting posts. I had seen blogs promoting the same service 2 or 3 different times, just because they want to earn money. That only has a name, desperation!! come on who wants to read over and over again the same information?. If you want to make a *reminder* of your promotion, you can make another post promoting a similar service and link them from there, but posting the same information you won’t get anything, just make your readers leave your blog.
2. Having so many banners: exist people who think on creating a blog just for put on it N banners and “get more money”, but they are doing nothing. Putting a lot of banners on your blog will make it hard to read, also slowest to load and that it’s just annoying for the readers. If you have too many sponsors you want to promote, you need to consider the best ones and discard some of them, making your blog more clean and fast for navigation.
3. Colors/Look/Appearance: ok may be I’m not the best to critique this, everybody has different tastes. But how is possible to have fun reading a blog with an orange background?? I saw that these days and the first I did was close the window, I lose the interest immediately. So try to care your blog’s look, it’s very important, remember that a good look can attract more readers to your blog!.
4. Copying Posts: If you have not a topic to post about it, just don’t post anything! is better to wait some days before publishing something which is not yours. Copying posts ruin your reputation and you shouldn’t do it over any circumstances.
5. Blogging Unattended: when you think on creating a blog, you need to know that you should maintain it periodically, not everyday but just with some frequency. If you forget about your blog for a month, all your readers will leave it because of you! you have to give them new content and information which they could read and enjoy.
6. SPAMMING: definitively the worst one! you never should spam with emails, comments or posting for a wreck purpose. Spamming won’t help you to nothing, instead it will help you to get listed on the blacklist of spammers. If you want to promote a service just post about it, but don’t start to send mails for who don’t want them.

There are too many bloggers who made some of that list and they don’t get slapped by their readers, that’s because that blogger has some many time blogging and doing a good job on the website and the readers simply will understand it like a mistake and anything will happen. But if you are a new blogger and you are getting new readers constantly, doing whatever you need to attract more and more visitors you can fall on the sins listed and you could lose some of you readers. By avoiding those six actions listed above you will conserve your readers and attract more and more visitors daily, just don’t desperate to expand your community and chill out.
