Why do we tolerate stinky blogs? Perhaps we have come to accept the suction as it is. Blogs don’t have to suck. Boycott disgusting blogs! (then maybe they go away or clean up).
Here are some telltale signs that a blog sucks:
- Auto play music: NOT! Let I decide if I want to play the music or not.
- Bloatware: I don’t expect slow loading blogs. Put him on a diet.
- Too much clutter widget: It looks like a teenager’s room. Clean it up!
- No content: All embedded YouTube videos and links or (worse) plagiarized articles. Be original or at least take items that you are allowed to take.
- Obstacles: Popups, dropdown screens, and splash screens aren’t great. Get rid of them.
- Bad wording: Learn the correct grammar and spelling. 1337 talking and/or lolcate is never appropriate.
- Focus Lakes: Cultivation of Kumquats in Denmark it should be about growing kumquats in Denmark.
- Hard to sell: It’s about selling before giving me a reason to buy. First build credibility and experience.
- Payment per publication: You were paid for the blog post. Your opinion CANNOT be impartial if you get paid to post it. PERIOD.
- Huge header: Your blog has a huge header that takes up my entire screen. Don’t make me scroll; Make your header smaller.
These opinions are mine. There may be people somewhere who like to be surprised by traditional Kazakh polka music at two in the morning or tingle with delicious anticipation as the little loading animation goes round and round.
