Three mistakes beginner bloggers do and why

Iam going into the list straight away :

 

1.Spending too much time on Blogcatalog :

 

What ? Is that bad ?

No.It is not bad.But if you stay most of the time in blogcatalog and yet do not make any friends over there then whats the use.I always want to recommend blogcatalog to my readers bcoz if you involve in the discussions and make interesting comments you have a LARGE probability of making friends with popular bloggers and you may get links from them to your blog.That would be great.But if you dont seem to get any links from your friends or you just dont seem to create a good relationship with any of the fellows over there then whats the use ?

So if you feel that Blogcatalog is not doing any good to you , reduce your time spending on it.

 

2.Too much Twittering :

 

There are so many articles being written on Twitter that it could be great for your blog marketing , business etc ,.I completely agree with that.I know that it is becoming a great tool for networking and business in turn.But it needs you to make very good relationships [large constant interesting amount of tweets would do that magic] before anyone becomes interested in you or your blog.Many of you might not have so much love for networking or may just hate social media.So just bcoz you hear about twitter , do not tend to look cool by spending too much time on it.Be there for a month , constantly tweet , if you feel its doing you good for you  , be there; if not reduce it or even completely leave tweeting.There are better possible things for you to do .

 

3.Too much social bookmarking :

 

Social bookmarking helps in indexing a blog article ; but if you plan to increase your Google SERP only with large amount of social bookmarking and nothing else then its gonna be a frustrating job.

The same time could’ve been used for blog commenting  on dofollow blogs or looking for relevant link exchanges or Guest blogging ;yes ofcourse people say blog comment links are easily identified by Google and are given less rank , but i feel the comment links would do you more good than the social bookmark links.
