Very good post. Great tips. I must say I have done #3 before when trying to hurry up and get a post out. Not proof reading just makes your product and blog look second rate.

#11 is funny. I love when people get called out for doing that

#12 I hate so much. When you try to leave a site BAM! pop-up, sre you sure, pop-under. I hate it.

Please tell me how you made 17$ million with this post!
Haha, just kidding. Nice post capturing what not to do.
Here are two more:
- make sure to add so many ads on your blog that no-one can find your content. Content is not important, people should only click on ads.
- do not test your blog design in multiple browsers. Firefox users are losers anyway. Everyone should use Internet Explorer.

James, hi,

These are all great points, but point 3 is my favourite.

Given all the tools that are available to check spelling and grammar, how anyone can publish a post that’s full of spelling and grammatical errors blows my mind!

Cheers,

Martin.

Well said.

It’s amazing to me how many blogs I come across (often via pingbacks to my site) where the content is just garbage. I don’t mean garbage in terms of me not agreeing with it or something that isn’t useful to me, I mean poorly written, bad grammar, spelling mistakes, and pages clearly designed to “keyword snipe”.

The more I think about it, all of the crap out there probably benefits us (the writers actually putting time and effort and research into our content). It makes the junk fall to the bottom and the good stuff rise to the top – I hope, at least.

Awesome tips!

I can’t wait to implement them on my blog.

Yikes. You know, there are going to be folks that are clueless here. The lowest common denominator appears to have a foothold in the blogging world.
Sometimes I get a sore neck just from shaking my head as I stumble around different blogs. I try and take an optimistic view point and say to myself, “Hey, with this kind of competition, I oughta shoot right towards the top!”

Cheers!
