The stress over quality content for quality traffic
Whilst every blogger in the world needs to get that extra special bit of traffic in the door from the blogosphere - the true point of getting GREAT traffic is always missed. Great traffic, perfect traffic - targeted traffic.It will never ever help you to get hundreds and thousands of visitors to your website only by luring them with confusing, irritating post titles or content in general that not nearly come in handy when your visitor desperately needs it on the spot ( or isn't that what they're actually there for, you'd say?!).
Read this story of this poor Fake Steve Jobs who got on one day 500,000 (half-a-million) people to his blog - and got just over a teeny $1000 from such a massive spike of traffic at copyblogger. It could blow one's mind of thinking that someone honestly and actually hit the jackpot for a moment there only to be rewarded with . . . nothing. Nothing special indeed.
Every single line in your post's article(s) is so important that it will ultimately speak and profess the quality of your entire website. In one split second. Yes. In one split second, the entire feel and atmosphere of the words (your words) in your posts will tell the story of your background: Whether you are reliable. Interesting. Whether your site is of quality. Small visual things such as perfect grammar or a mistyped word every here and there . . .
It only takes five seconds before someone makes up his mind to leave your site today - and more importantly: It only takes five seconds before someone determines whether he or she would return or not.
There are very many different kinds of traffic.
Concentrate on the perfect ones.
It is extremely important to know exactly what you want to do before ever creating a blog. Things such as who your market will be. And what you should expect from your target market. How broad, how competitive and rewarding?
Relax. Blogging should be fun WHEN blogging is organic. Take it slow. Over months' end. Put it together like a massive puzzle. Put together one piece to the other at a time until you get the beautiful full picture.
There is absolutely no way that you're going to survive if you're going on a roller coaster with blogging and totally overwhelm you with everything in one day - as there is one thing you must always realize: you are not in an office! You are not running around all day long in a retail store. No! You are at home, working from home - blogging at your own pace and time.
