Top 5 blogging mistakes

The Top Five Blogging Mistakes In my humble, but correct opinion ;-) By Dave Sherwin socialmarketingblackbox.com

Sad but true.

Mistake One Using the wrong platform! Free blogs won’t cut it Most content managers won’t either Solution: A self-hosted Wordpress Blog

Experts Agree!

Mistake Two Wrong Permalink structure! (URL)

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Right! The URL must contain the keyword!

Custom Permalink Architecture Edit your permalink (in left hand navigation of your wordpress blog) Choose “Custom” and paste this in: /%postname%/%post_id%/ (Really! It works!

Mistake Three Not creating a title, description and keyword list

Title Description How my #1 ranked blog title and description appears in a search...

Mistake Four Lack of keyword research on each blog post! Did you know that EACH POST has the potential to get ranked? Wow! Use Google’s free external keyword tool to do this

Enter your topic word here Related words, and total monthly searches, appear here. Google’s external keyword tool

Mistake Four For best results, choose “long tail” keywords with between 500-20,000 global searches a month Try to find words that work well in a title and body of your writing (this makes it a lot easier to write the content around the keyword!)

Mistake Five Lack Of Activity! Just 3-5 posts per week gets great results! You can do it! Most bloggers are lazy. They are your competition. If you do 3-5 posts per week, you literally beat 99% of your competitors!
