		<description>Thanks for this article, very clickable title, especially when you have a blog, and suspect  that it may well &quot;suck&quot;. 

23. Is especially helpful, its sometimes true that ones moment of inspirational clarity becomes an ugly hubris during the typing.</description>

		<description>Poor blending of ads. I&#039;ve seen evidence that even a targeted article in a high-CPC niche getting 3,000+ pageviews in a single day is no guarantee of getting high ad clicks. Especially if the ads on the page are poorly placed and/or not color-blended into the theme. (Keep in mind, too, that with some ad networks, high pageviews and no clicks reduces the CPC of those ads on your other sites - if you have others.)

		<description>Social media is/are - does it really matter? The content is great and relevant, it should just be presented better. As someone with a wide LCD display, your fluid-width layout for the content, with the Arial and cramped style, made it a bit difficult to go through the list.

Also, you place too much emphasis on themes - you should mention that anyone who really wants to gain some clout should really design their own theme (as a graphic designer, I&#039;m thinking about the circles I roll in). The number of themes shouldn&#039;t be a factor in someone&#039;s choice of platform, since they&#039;re all available to everyone. The content will always be unique as the website it resides in (generic theme = less professional articles).

Aside from that great stuff (even though it&#039;s over a year old)! Starting a blog without passion is akin to entering a race with no intention of winning.</description>

		<description>Canonization problems and friendly urls are very important questions.
When I had www and no-www address my backlinks and authority were split in two. After making permanent redirect I have much better rankings.

Friendly urls:
I am running Joomla cms and for this system there is OpenSEF system which even gives you a power to manage multiple websites!

		<description>The most obvious is the most overlooked. Here&#039;s the simple fact. Everyone cannot spend all their time reading each other&#039;s diaries, which is basically what a blog is. Who the hell has that kind of time? Who the hell WANTS to read everyone&#039;s diary. Great, you have opinions, you have a life... everyone does. What will happen is that most people will read the blogs of &quot;famous&quot; people because there aren&#039;t enough hours in the day for them to read everyone&#039;s, and the views will decline, the bloggers will lose interest and we&#039;ll wind up with more free advertising for famous people and the blog heard will thin out. Personally, I&#039;m glad because I think blogging gives a whole lot of people who have nothing to say an excuse to say it and glut the internet with uninteresting and insignificant twaddle. It&#039;s your right, but why on earth does everyone think they will become the next internet &quot;star?&quot;</description>

		<description>&quot;social media is&quot; is actually correct, but not for the reason the author offers.  Referring to it as a collective doesn&#039;t negate its pluralism.  &quot;The media is swarming&quot; is incorrect even though it&#039;s extremely common and refers to a collective. 

In this case, however, referring to &#039;social media&#039; as a singular concept (even delimited by a link in this case) makes this prefectly acceptable phrasing.  For example, you&#039;d never say &quot;using social media are important&quot;.  

Of course I wish I&#039;d found this post earlier, but not so that I could put this argument to bed as decisively as I&#039;ve done.  If I&#039;d read some of this a year ago I would have made better choices, even on my personal blog.</description>

		<description>Thanks, GreenShady, but not in this case. &quot;Social media&quot; is used collectively, so in this case it&#039;s singular, and the verb does match noun. I have yet to see anyone writing &quot;social media are&quot;. Say it aloud: it just sounds wrong.</description>

		<description>Glenn - I just felt using &quot;Why&quot; would make the title a little less aggressive. As Lucica pointed out, the bold phrasing is already aggressive.

Brett - I think your advice applies regardless of whether you&#039;re fluent in your &quot;blogging language&quot; or not. Excellent additional tips. [Thanks for the nod. I try to help, but I&#039;m finding less time for it this year.]</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I would add a few . . . you write in a language that is not your own and you are not fluent in that language (when you write) and/or you do not have someone to proof read your work before you publish.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;several months separate each of your blog entries&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your site has so many banners, images and widgets that even with a direct connection into Yahoo&#039;s bandwidth pipe, it still takes 5 minutes for your site to load.  Come On People, all those widgets and javascript codes screw your blog up!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your blog automatically plays some noise when its opened.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You sport a default theme&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You write your own comments under an alias or 10&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All of your entries are less than 50 words long and you do not have a video blog or podcast&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You think that running fake page rank on your website makes you cool, successful or possibly rich&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You pick on the little bloggers instead of helping them.  (Raj is an excellent person at helping bloggers.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You blog with Frontpage.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>One of the better posts to help people make their blogs better and I learned a few things myself! Thanks...

One more typo : One is that readers lose patience when they don&#039;t your schedule.

Should be : One is that readers lose patience when they don&#039;t *know* your schedule.</description>

		<description>Lucica:

That&#039;s just too funny, but i claim exhaustion. Or maybe I&#039;m just an idiot like Fred.

The phrasing was intentional, though - to differentiate. In fact, the phrasing HAS to match the title. I can&#039;t use a negative title and then use positive phrasing in bold.</description>

		<description>&quot;You may not have the skills of Grammar Girl or be anal retentive about it like &lt;em&gt;myself&lt;/em&gt;&quot;

ME! like ME, NOT &#039;myself&#039;. For example, you wouldn&#039;t say: &quot;Fred is an idiot, just like myself&quot;; you would say &quot;Fred is an idiot, just like me&quot;.

That line was a particularly unfortunate place to make this mistake.

Otherwise, nice article, if a little dense. You obviously put in a lot of work. I think that phrasing everything in the negative will probably make your readers a little defensive after reading several dozen points, though.</description>
