4 Factors That Can Kill Your Blogging Career - NCT by APHATHEOLOGY(m): 9:36pm On May 01, 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outdated information and no new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 (You can also read WEB DESIGN MISTAKES YOU SHOULD AVOID, but rather it is to find the solution and get informed.

You did not mention "click fraud" google forbid this if you are caught you earn a life ban. That is the end of your blogging business as far as google adsense is concern. You can only resort to other paid to click program.

It is the best for me. Get one good seo optimized post then sit back and watch above 2k traffic on that post alone every day for at least 2 weeks.
No need to have running battles with NL and Facebook group admins

I get you! It's pretty interesting to have such attention from Google. Especially when you know your way around SEO.
I'd prefer more than a post though, the traffic keeps rushing and they're pretty organic...so cute! smiley
I've one of them on Google "How to Stop Your Man from Always Coming Home Late" ...every twist and turns about that longtail keyword has been topping Google Top 3 for almost a year now. That's just one and it feels good. Bloggers should learn SEO first especially if they write original contents not the CnP ones though.
