Nothing says "don't bother" like a blog that repeats essentially the same thing over and over and over and over and zzzzzzz.... Also: "Self-aggrandizement." Bloggers, show us how wonderful you are, don't tell us. Your fan mail doesn't belong on your blog. And: "Obviously written by someone else." If it sounds like your assistant wrote it, and your assistant wrote it, start writing it yourself or get a new assistant who can write in a style that sounds like your voice. This goes double for your marketing messages, if they have your name signed to them. I’d add “Being a broken record” to the list.

One Year,
I didn’t write the original list, so I can’t say. It’s also be a long time since I’ve read anything from John Chow.

So true. How often do your write?

If you don't then it is hard to attract repeat visitors to your site. The quality of posts also is a huge factor! I agree completely with the comment on not updating the blog on a regular basis.

I'm enjoying it and now my biggest mistake is keeping it at wordpress.com, I need to move it and host it separately.... Once in a while it'll swallow one of my posts if I put too many links on it, and heaven forbit a CJ link! By the way, I am enjoying the keyword hits on my typos! I get a lot of hits on my keyword type "Diney Cruise"!!! This summer there's going to be a lot of poor spellers on cruises!!! Thanks again for sending me to wordpress, I just laughed till I cried when I saw a google pagerank of "5" for my site!!! Thanks Dawud for recommending wordpress for a blog.

Sooner or later you get writer's block and lose motivation to keep posting. Your best bet is to make a blog about a topic that you actually want to write about for months or even years. If you're not interested in what you're blogging about, you're bound to fail. Yes I agree that frequently updating a blog is the biggest challenge.
