Well hard to disagree with most of these "sins". I would like to ad one - don’t think too much about all your posts – be spontaneous and get some post through to the readers. Steen Seo Öhman´s lastest post..Google image search

Great thoughts Yan.

I would like to add a sort of synthesis of numbers 1 and 6. It may not be a deadly sin, but putting out a subscriber count out too early (like ads) may make the blogger seem desperate to grab some more.

Another well done post!

Yeah. I remember those days of being a new blogger and how I would goof around and not update my blog on a regular basis. Updating your blog can be quite hectic and you have to get use to the idea, that if you don’t your page rankings can decrease dramatically. You have to find a routine that works best for you. Another good idea is using blog automatic post software so it will update your blog for you.

Hey Celes

It’s true not everyone is relying to your comment, let alone reciprocating yours. Replying to all the comments is a very time-consuming effort. It’s fine when you are small but as your community grows, it becomes quite a task. No question about it.

Truth is I’m having a hard time trying to cope with all the comments reply and reciprocal commenting at the same time. I’m still returning the favor to this very day, though more selectively than before. I couldn’t be possibly returning all the favor, could I?

Anyway, thanks for dropping by and welcome to the community. It’s good to have you around and thanks for the compliment too.

Yan

Hi Yan, excellent article :) On the commenting piece, I've been delicating time doing it everyday! However, I notice that not all authors reciprocrate comments, which is fair since they probably have different priorities when it comes to marketing their site. What do you think when you start getting a lot of comments? Would it still be necessary to reciprocrate every one or will you stop returning the favour? Do you think spending too much time returning comments be an unproductive use of time? (I noticed that you do make an effort to reply every comment here, which is very commendable!)
