Here are 5 (five) points are frequently made were:

1. Focus on website design / website appearance.

The biggest investment many people make is to manage website design view, not on managing the information. Yet precisely the information (content) is presented, the attention of visitors will be more focused.

2. The importance of the information up to date.

This is more in focus and management of information presented, the information is always up to date course will present a variety of new information. And will make your visitors will always attempt to return to see information presented. Once again the search engines will assume a site is important to explore if the always updated. So that the SEO will benefit the site owner.

3. Something different / unique information presented.

Focus on the information presented is often ignored by the site owner. Many are not concerned with the uniqueness and difference content / content of other sites. Though the information is unique, different from the others will be able to make the site referenced in various other Internet media. Dared to be different to the key word, and applying it can be done not only on website design but also the type of information presented, how to delivery / post, giving good feed back and forth.

4. Inappropriate management of the website keywords.

Keyword major key in managing the website. With the focus on keywords, appropriate keyword placement, and empowers the main keyword will further strengthen the position of websites on various search engines. Write down some keywords that potential visitors and 10% always tuck your main keywords in any information presented.

To be sure all information presented is followed by many readers.

Content is a King, so we also strive to make our blog's content is becoming more attractive. Another one who may also need to deal with is trying to consistent with the content that we make or in another sense the focus in a single topic (both in general or more specific). Of course, we present the topics on the blog we have under our control. The more serious on one topic only then will bring up a strong character of our blogs content.

5 Concept Blogging Mistakes

Here's a mistake - a fundamental misconception that experienced by us as a blogger beginners

1. If I write, they will come ...

No, no. This is not true, if we promote it they might come. We can write the most fantastic blog on the planet but if no one knows about our writing, why bother? It's almost like the old saying, "If a tree falls in the forest and nobody heard it, if it makes a sound?" So we just have to promote to introduce your blog in the blogosphere.

2. People will read the writing I'm good.

Do not get me wrong, we think that great writing is a prerequisite of successful bloggers, but our readers do not read our blog because we write well. There are bookcases filled with books in every Barnes and Noble or Borders written by great writers. 

The most important lesson that a blogger must learn is that we HAVE to deliver value to our readers. . When we write a blog we should have our audience in mind. 

That is why it is important to recognize that we readers can be achieved through interactions in the comments. Responding directly to the comments from our readers is very strong. It will build relationships and trust can be nurtured with time. We also will begin to understand the profile of our readers can go a long way to develop a useful post for them. If the reader likes what we have to say, he may tell someone else or maybe even a link to their blogs We are in if they have.

3. Other bloggers will always be willing to help

To be completely honest, we have found that about 90% of fellow bloggers who are very helpful. But there are some out there who feel we're competing or maybe they do not feel we deserve help. We never understood it. If someone asks me for help I will gladly give it to them when it comes to blogging. I will never see this as a competitive business, but maintaining something.

4. I will immediately make money

This could be true if we already have a successful blog or another bestseller, but we just wrote. There are two schools of thought about our blog,: Some say to wait until we have a good reader before you add Adsense or advertising on our blog. Another school of thought that says it's okay to start the blog off with advertising. 

We took the school: to wait until we have the readers before we get money from blogs. This may be the first decision and that is the last thing we do. One of the schools had been, it will take time before you have many followers, and with that you may be able to create revenue through advertising. But, the majority of bloggers do not make money. So, if we start blogging to make money rather than have a passion for writing us, we may have to reconsider our concept.

5. Easily considered to blogging

Actually it takes a lot of work. If we have a full time job and blogging as a side, find the time to write it very difficult. . To build a blog we must be consistent in our writing. We can not post blogs on random intervals. It's the fastest way to lose readers who might we have. 

Could it be If we post randomly while kta we expect readers to be there on a regular basis. Try to keep posting regular intervals. If you declare your posts intervals you "About" page, so make sure you meet your deadlines. 

Blogging can be a very valuable experience. Able to communicate with various groups of people from anywhere in the world is really confusing. Understanding some misconceptions out there that relate to blogging can help us calling the problem. Knowing what to expect in the future can save much time and energy wasted.

Choosing a Good Template for Blog : Step 3 to started blog

Once our blog is filled with some content, be worthwhile to consider the look / design of blog. Since the beginning of the blogspot template (if using blogger) is very simple and look less attractive.

Display and design blogs will somehow affect the visitors. Like guests, of course he will look for a moment the front yard of our house, our house view, living room and so forth. This will create a separate image in the eyes of visitors.

A good blog template, I think it must meet several elements.

1. Template worked well when used. 

Both from the beginning to the end of the process there are no obstacles.

2. Blog theme display in accordance with the concept of templates. 

There are so many free services available templates on the internet. But look for suitable for our blog, both in the use of background, header, sidebar, footer and more. There are many diverse options such as 1 column, 2 column, 3 column, newspaper style and much more.

3. Fast loading. 

The speed of the browser will also affect visitors to linger comfortable and was interested to read the content presented. When loading a long course, it is certain he will close the browser page that opens our blog or website.

4. Template size is not large. 

For this, we would be better to use the small template size. If we can under 10 Kb, the smaller the size of the template will help search engines in analyzing our blog.

5. Not too many widgets. 

At this point, the blog widget will add beautiful indeed our blog. But we have to selectively choose and use appropriate widgets to our blog. The more widgets that do not need to make visitors enjoy lazy in our blog, and will affect the loading well.

6. SEO friendly. 

This term is usually the first foundation in choosing a good template. The definition of these points is, at the time of loading will display the first content pages than the sidebar (left or right) to the footer. But if possible, use a template that can display the entire page with a quick blog.

7. Features simple navigation and easy to use. 

Sometimes, a lot of templates that are integrated with the navigation feature in it. This will assist visitors in enjoying our blog. We can use that feature and edit them as needed.

8. Use the code of template easy. 

This helps us to edit the look more beautiful to another. For the code used in a template, should be noted also how fast loading and how vital function for our blog.

9. Color and a sweet view. 

To order colors, try to look nice but do not make my eyes hurt. Use of the dominant color or too bright will make guests feel at home would not be long in our blog. Views and the composition is also noteworthy view.

10. Trying directly. 

This is the practice of effective measures. Very good if we ourselves know the advantages and disadvantages of the adapted template directly. So where we can improve and optimize the less the better.

In determining the template, no wonder we often have difficulty in selecting the most appropriate template to our blog. However, with practice and time will make us understand how to implement it.

Hopefully this article can be useful.
