1. Comments saying "Nice post!"
Nice post doesn't really mean nice post. It means the person had nothing to say but wants to get their link on your site. "Nice" isn't exactly a glowing reference, though, so maybe they were sincere.2. Very few subscribers.
Zero. Five. Twenty. Not really much point having the widget, is there?3. Flat stats.
5 views today. 5 views yesterday. 5 views the day before. Was it just you refreshing the page?4. A lack of link love.
You read lots of blogs, leave comments, and nobody links to you? Maybe there's a reason for that. No, a "top commenters" or "top droppers" list doesn't count.5. Multiple apologies for your absence.
#1 Hi everyone, I'm out of town right now, but I'll blog soon!#2 Hi again, so sorry but I can't get to the PC right now, this is being sent by carrier pigeon!
#3 I promise to update soon! Promise! Really!
#4 Are you still there?
6. A whole row of unfilled ads.
One or two empty spots is OK, but 10 empty ads? At the very least, buy an ad on your own site!7. Popups.
A popup appears when you visit the site. A popup appears when you leave the site. It's like walking into a room, having a blanket thrown over your head, then left to fumble around without being able to see what you're doing. Knowing what will happen when you next go to the site, why would you go back?8. Autoplaying audio.
For the love of God, will someone turn that music down? Oh wait, there's no "off" button. I'll just close the site then. Bye!9. Pointless widgets.
Why is that widget there? What does it do? Oh, it shows me the latest 5 / 10 / 20 / 50 / 500 visitors to your blog. Remind me, why do I care?10. Errors.
Take your pick:- 404 Not Found
- Headers already sent

Yes, I could add two.
ReplyDelete1. Google ads all over the top of the blog before you see the blog.
2. Alexa ranking.
But, I must admit you do have a very 'nice' list here. Very imformative to some of us other bloggers. Things for us to correct like music automatically playing when some one comes to your blog. However, I believe in having my blogs to be fun and to give my readers choices of what they can do on my blogs. Thanks for sharing what we need to correct on our blogs.
