If you are blogging then the last thing that you probably want is to get know as a bad blog. So, how could you maintain a clean reputation?

Avoiding claims of a being a bad blog is quite a easy task. Maintain your website to high standards and keep it running well. Very straightforward, but what does that mean?

Write Good Posts - Be certain that that you are posting genuine new content frequently. Your posts should be written by you yourself manually and in good English (or whatever language you write in). If you are typing up directly into yourblog’s admin, install a spell checker into the toolbar and once you have finished your writing click the button to check the spelling, correcting the errors identified. Better still, if prospective write in an application let's say Word in which spelling and grammatical errors are immediately identified.

Be certain that that you take the time to read your posts before you submit them to check for obvious errors and swat up on your grammar and punctuation skills, perhaps even get someone else to proof read for you.

Other people’s work - Whilst it is fine to include the odd post from directory sites (as long as you stick within their limits of reprints) be sure that you include the original author’s biography in whatever form they require. There is no point claiming their work is yours - it is bad practice and if your readers notice, they will flee. Make sure that for every article from a directory that you post you write several of your own to prevent the web site looking like a spamblog.

One of the worst blogging ‘crimes’ is scraping information from other websites. Do not do it! These automated post writing systems are bad and should always be avoided.

Balance advertising - We all love a bit of easy cash, but keep it in balance. For advertising on the page merely place adverts in one or two blocks on the page. Any more is too in your face and might be counter productive - readers stop coming back and do not trust the adverts so don’t click them.

If you are writing paid posts then be sure that your site does not consist of merely sponsored posts. Aim to write at least 2 genuine content posts of a reasonable size for every paid post that you place and make certain that you are clear that some of your posts are sponsored.

Check Your Comments - If you are not watching every new comment that is posted on your weblog then you may find a whole array of unsavoury comments are being left on your posts. Whilst obviously not your doing, the lack of removal of these comments will reflect badly on yourblog . Take action to review all comments from new comment makers and as a lot of comments as potential from those that have previously commented.

In short, to keep away from claims being made that you are running a bad blog just be sure that you run and maintain the weblog in an honest and open way and keep an eye on what is happening.
