7 Reasons your Blog doesn’t Work

1. Are you blogging everyday?

If you are serious about making money from your blog, then you should be posting at least once per day.This is probably the most common reason why your blog doesn’t work.

If Google sees new content has been added every time it visits, it will visit more often and your content will receive better rankings.

2. The Quality of your Content is not good enough

Make sure that the quality of your posts is good enough.
Is your content original?
Is it well written?
Does it offer ‘value’ to your readers?

Poor quality content is another big reason why a blog doesn’t work as well as it should. Google wants to see quality content, well written and presented, so give them what they want.

3. Are you building your list?

If you are not collecting email addresses then you are missing an opportunity to connect with your readers.

4. Are you pinging your new posts?

Every time you post new content. you should ‘ping’ your blog so that the major search engines know that there is new content to read.

5. Are you bookmarking all your posts?

Each post that you publish should be bookmarked in sites such as delicious, digg, reddit, diigo, stumbleupon, etc again, this is often a big reason why a blog doesn’t work.

6. Are you promoting your blog posts via Social Media?

Each post should be publicised via your Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Myspace, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Instagram accounts.
