If you have read my previous article about the things your readers won’t like, then I believe you had already learned some good lessons on taking care of your readers. It’s really bad to see some blogger trying to improve his blog and go doing SEO just to raise his ranks and traffic. And by the time he actually gets what he wants, he completely ignores building a relationship between his readers.
I’m gonna expand number eleven
As you have read on my previous article, I’ve mentioned eleven things that would turn off your readers. The original list is just ten. The number eleven came up while I was on the writing process. Number eleven reason goes like this:
Readers hate it when you don’t appreciate them
I think the reason speaks for itself. Maybe we could excuse big bloggers in the blogosphere for this one. Really, if I’m like someone who receives thousands of unique visitors per day and over fifty comments per post, I would have a lot of trouble doing hospitality to my readers. But let’s say that you have a not-so-big number for your visitors and you already don’t mind, care, or appreciate them in your blog Well, it’s pure E-V-I-L.
One very common evil blogger example
I have met MANY bloggers who write instructional posts. Posts like hacks, tutorials, guide, tips and tricks. These posts always have many readers after them. This is the reason why blogs offering tutorials (in html, xml, JavaScript and even in Photoshop) have large readers and subscribers. Same goes for blogs giving hacks, tips and tricks. People need them. People learn a great deal from them. The awful part is when the blogger writes a post and leaves the lost readers alone.
You can usually see it in the comments section
Many readers sometimes find trouble following instructions. Sometimes, the reader just can’t get it. Other times, the blogger have overlooked on a detail or worse, have written something wrong. It really gets on my nerves when I see distress messages in the comment section of blogs asking for help, and the blogger just leaves them desperate for all he cares. I really really hate that. We all blog about the things we know. That’s why we blog in the first place, because we know what we’re talking about. It’s just really bad to see people trying to go over a blog, read its posts and follow whatever the blogger have said, get lost in the process, ask for help and be ignored.
Let’s just hope bloggers like these would learn their lesson. I think they already did. It’s because a reader turned down is a blog tearing itself to pieces. Agree? I think you do.
