Every wondered what prospects drives away blog traffic? Is it a bad personality or grammar? Many obstacles can cross your path and usually it comes down to the most mundane and simple tasks.

Foremost analyzing any general income of traffic is probably a great way to start. Funny enough beginning bloggers actually forget this step. They set up several pages, create excellent content even going further and beyond with graphics. All the while leaving there Google tools to the wayside. Now becoming a little tech savvy will come in handy to keep that blog up and running smoothly.

To transition towards graphics, now some graphics can keep a story progressing however, every individual has come across that one page where somehow an overload of glitter graphics or meme’s seem to fill the page. Filling up the cache causing the browser to load incredibly slow. So what happens, we exit out knowing to never go back to that page. As a word of caution, do not overload any page with graphics. Less is more.

Ever hear of the 20/80 rule? Twenty percent is based around original content while the other eighty is shared and important information. This is networking at it’s best. Sharing and legitimately commenting (on a heartfelt level without the use of emojicons) on another’s work adds a sense of community. The blogging sphere is all about community, unity and informing others about current events or art. Test out this rule to see if it applies to your content.

About adding a sincere comment to another’s shared work means that you pay attention. Responding by communicating exactly what feelings, experience or questions you have for the shared individuals work shows interest and understanding.

The next bit may be surprising or completely obvious…humor. Add a sense of humor to a variety of paragraphs. No one wants to read a monotone post. As human beings entertainment is a part of our every waking lives. Find a humor niche within your content, bring the topics to life and give a vitality fueled discussion some passion.

Oddly enough between the humor, 20/80 rule, analyzing and normal, obvious knowledge about setting up a blog can become muddled. However, the most important reminder should be noted. A form of internet peer pressure is felt to make any blog succeed. No one wants to be writing their heart out and only two people are responding or no one at all.  This, again is where networking becomes involved. Create online friendships, openly support a cause or repost posts that strike a chord within yourself. Nowadays every blogger is open about where they stand politically, emotionally and artistically. Expression is the highest form of flattery as well as becoming a networking guru. Uncover where the truth lies by conveying thoughts via a blog or showcase artistic talents by recording, photographing, painting or any other means.

Stop diverting traffic or followers by ignoring the general rule of thumb. Learn to network, communicate and express to receive the much needed feedback to make your blog work for you.
