This Four Factors Can Destroy Your Blogging Career by APHATHEOLOGY(m): 7:07am On Sep 28, 2016
1. Slow Websites
The common saying “patience is a
virtue” does not apply online when it comes to surfing the web. I can say it’s quite the opposite. To keep readers on your blog, the speed of your pages is very important.

A slow website will result your loss of conversions from visitors who are currently on your site,this in turn results in loss of potential
readers and fans, some factors which can make your website slow include:
● Unoptimised pages
● Uncompressed https
● Javascript issues
● Website layout (this is very
important because visitors mainly
scan through the contents rather
than read them)
● Too much flash etc.

In 2010 Google added site speed to the list of parameters for
determining site rankings, now the speed at which someone could view the content from a search result would be a factor. This boost your site SEO and ranking which definitely increases conversion rates and more clicks.

A slow website will not be able to
achieve good google ranking and
SEO conversion.

2. Web Hosting plan
Actually, your hosting account
depends on the price you are ready to pay. The truth is a cheap hosting account could lead to low
page speed performances. As seen
today, a blog starts with little or no traffic and gradually begin to have very large traffic. It is important to know when to upgrade a shared hosting plan or migrate to a virtual server.

Having the right hosting account and company to power your blog will ensure you maximum uptime and vice versa.

3. Uninteresting Content
Many bloggers spend most of their time making their homepage
interesting and the rest pages
uninteresting. According to
Forrester Research , in 2012, 54%
of internet users found websites/
blogs through search engine results, 32 percent through social networks, and 28 percent said that they found websites through links from other websites, so your homepage visits will reduce.
Homepages are not a blog’s main
entry point anymore. It is vital to
note that articles, blog posts or any other content that you add on your blog is also attracting traffic, which means every post should be
interesting. Always use words
everyone can relate to when
posting, this makes your content
more interesting and relatable.

4. Inactive Blog
Much traffic to your blog will
reduce when readers find only old,
outdated information and no new
posts. If they have nothing new to
read, do you think they will visit
again? The answer is NO It is very
important to have at least a juicy
post on a daily basis.
It’s also important to maintain a
balance between posting too much and not posting at all. Posting less frequently will make your readers lose touch with your blog. It is much easier to keep a loyal reader base when they have got information to read about each time they visit your blog. A reader’s intention of visiting your blog is not to look at the design or layout only

Can you pls provide the link here and possibly steps to follow till completion? Thank you.

First go to blogger.com

Sign in using your Gmail address. If you don't have a Gmail address, register for one.

After logging in, click on new blog.

When it opens, fill the Title

Then fill the Address section with your desired Web address. Note all blogger blogs end with .com.
So if you want to to call your website to luff ball, it will be to tolufootbal..com

Then choose a template and click "create blog" below.

If you want to create a post, click create "New post"
