Do you know why you are not able to make money online with your blog with all your efforts going in vain? Keep on reading this post as this post covers top 10 reasons that are directly applying on your blog due to which you are not able to monetize your blog traffic effectively :
Reason 1 : Spammy Homepage
The first impression is that last impression. If you have a spammy homepage with a dozen ads that promise thousands of dollars in a week, there is a high chance most visitors will be put off. Your visitors like a website to be elegant and not filled with loads of blinking banners across the face of their screen. A spammy looking website simply does not look professional or gain the trust of your visitor.
Reason 2 : Irregular Updates
Your recent posts seem to date three months back. And your latest post is a lame post on how sorry you are to not update your blog regularly. Reasons such as “Busy”, “Note felt Like” are hardly pleasing to read. If this how your visitor is welcomed to your blog, then rest assured that you have lost a reader and may be a potential money making opportunity.
Reason 3 : No About/Contact Page
An “About” page is very important, the lack of these pages take away any credibility to the content you produce. No matter how good they are. Most people are quire curious to know the author behind the blog. It adds a personal touch and an “About” page is a great way to connect to readers. Lack of Contact page is perhaps the most unprofessional thing you can do.
Reason 4 : Incorrect Monetization
Most bloggers fail to optimize the revenue potential of their blog. On some blogs PPC ads simply do not work. The point is to understand what kind of monetization works best for your content. Maybe selling affiliate products would fetch you more money than the regular PPC campaigns.
Reason 5 : Lack Value
There is no point trying to make money if the articles you post do not offer value to the readers. Unless you provide your readers with some information that they can use, they will never care about your blog. Readers want something they can use or something which makes them happy.
Reason 6 : No Target Audience
This is a big issue with start-up bloggers. They tend to post about every topic under the sub. This is no way to make money online. It is very important that you target your blog at a particular niche to ensure SEO and attract interested readers. Most visitors to your blog through search engines will look at posts in the same niche as their query.
Reason 7 : Ignoring Comments
There are many bloggers who have a misconception that it is cool to ignore your readers comments – not replying. This misconception is fuelled by many bloggers who comment at problogger.com/shoemoney.com. As their authors do not reply to a single comment and yet generate so many comments. It is an unhealthy practice for you as you have not attained the level of these pro-bloggers.
Reason 8 : Aimless Blogging
If you simply keep generating posts without any specific target in mind then your efforts are futile. You should have a target kept in mind for your blog which you want to achieve.
Reason 9 : Poor Network
If you have failed to create a proper network of bloggers around yourself, then your blog growth will be stunted. With no network of friends most of your posts will be un-tweeted and not be bookmarked at social websites.
Reason 10 : Lack in patience
Many bloggers are in a lure to make hundreds of dollars in a matter of few moths into blogging. They hardly have enough posts and lack quality back-links. With lack of patience they post useless content and eventually quit out of frustration.
Hope you analyze these reasons and arrive at a conclusion why your blog is not optimizing its revenue potential. What problem did you find in your blog after reading this post and what are the problem areas that your blog is facing and are not covered here?
