 No Conscious on Title:

Title of the blog is more important than the body of the blog. Title can only grab the visitors to click through your links. In general, newbies are not having title conscious that, they have their own title which is not fit to the post.



Change over the Blogging Niche :

Newbies will get confused after posted some of the blogs on their niche. They will have started writing on another niche  that will definitely irritate the regular readers.


Missing images to blog:

Images on blog will add spices to it.  Newbies never mine about image. Sometimes a nice image will let our reader to stay on our blog.  Have to stop adding irrelevant images which will change the  message you wanted to convey through your blog. In this section, I just wanted to show an example blog, “ Fran Tips “ by Fran Aslam. Fran Aslam is a great writer and she is an expert author of ezine article. Till now she dint add any images to her blog. If she will add apt images to her blog, it will more pleasant to reader. ( Hope she will do after reading this )


Not having Social Relation:

Blogger should have good relation with other blogger to get better exposure to their blog. But newbies are not caring about other blogger. That is not fair one.


No response to commentators:

Generally new blogger will not respond to their blog comments. This not not fair, we should reply to comment. Because commentators have spent their precious time to post comments on our blog and our reply will make them  happy. It is one of the way to improve our relationship with other bloggers.


Knowledge of SEO:

Writing blogs alone not only provide us the traffic. Newbies have to know about the basic Search engine optimization techniques (SEO) which will help them to get traffic. Newbies have to know about basic link building techniques, Keyword research,  and  blog directories.

Over to Readers:

Here I have mentioned some of the mistakes committed by newbies. You can list out more if yo know.

Paying for Backlinks, Generally a Bad Idea and Waste of Money

As one who has learned all my SEO techniques on my own, I've had to do my own research and experience my own learning curve when it comes to backlinks.  I'm determined to share my own opinion on paying for backlinks, I realize SEO is a ultra-complex topic with so many experts, and that there will likely be many who have their own differing opinion on this topic; I welcome your feedback.

Backlinks are one of the keys to a websites success in search engines as the number of backlinks can be indicators of the popularity or importance of a website (they are not the only indicator.)  There is not a day that goes by where I don't see advertising for 'backlinks for sale.' There are those that would assure us that buying backlinks is a sure fire way to get your website to the front page in search engines.  I'm fairly certain however that in many cases those assuring us of this are the same people selling us the backlinks.  In my research buying backlinks is a risky business in which you are almost always throwing your money away.  When I say this, I do say it with a reservation realizing that there are always exceptions. Also recognize that I'm primarily referring to services that sell mass amounts of backlinks, guaranteeing 'thousands instantly'.

There would be two primary motivators for purchasing backlinks, 1. search engine placement, and 2. drive traffic to your site. If you were to decide to pay for backlinks you need to realize the bottom line needs to be increased traffic to your site, what I mean is that you need to be assured you are paying for a link that will generate traffic - that is what you are paying for, not the link.  Since paid backlinks 'en masse' at least the ones that advertise the will get you thousands of backlinks instantly, are very likely garbage links (low quality links on pages that do not rank well) that will generate no traffic, you can be assured you are wasting your money.  You can also be fairly certain that these links will be placed on link farms and other such sites which will not accomplish much of anything in your search rankings.  There has been much discussion over the quality of a backlink and it has been stated directly by Sergey Brin and Larry Page that "PageRank... [does] not count links from all pages equally, and by normalizing by the number of links on a page."  What Brin and Page are clarifying for us is 1. not all links have the same value for search engines and 2. pages that are nothing but link farms or have low PageRank's are noticed and backlinks on those pages are very ineffective.  What's more, how many humans do you know that spend time looking at link farms?

In addition you can bet there is a time limit on your purchase, and that the link(s) will eventually disappear... once it's gone anything that was accomplished for traffic or search engines will be undone, and you will fall off the map... unless you pay again.

Many website owners successfully optimize for SEO and build fantastic traffic in their niche without ever paying for a single backlink.  What's more with the social web word of mouth, and social networking can effectively build you quality backlinks as well.  It may take a bit more work and time, but you can be certain the individuals you are connecting with are human, and that their loyalty goes deeper than that of a backlink machine.

Here's an interesting article I read recently titled, Does Backlink Quality Matter.  It's worth a read. What are your thoughts on purchasing backlinks, or your experiences?  How do you think the companies that guarantee results and money back are able to do this?  I'd love to hear from you.
