What Brought the End of ScorpionGod Lair on Blogspot Platform

Yesterday, It was an awesome day with the launch of revamped ScorpionGod Lair website. Every blogger have to face common mistakes and every blogger has their own mistakes which would appear from their habits.

This is where I got wrong by my mistakes and how it was happened.

Make sure you stop any of these Mistakes which brought me negative results.

History

Back in 2011, I had a beautiful idea of creating an authority blog, but I hadn’t had a clear & strong idea about the approach to it. However, I was dangerous enough to mark the real birthday of an Internet Marketing blog called ScorpionGod Lair. Yeah! I’m talking about the Old Blogspot Platform one.

Without a Clear & Strong plan in Blogging, There are lot of ways to fall prey.

Still I’m a big fan of Video Games and I’m addicted to it. Do you know that the 1st post on Old SGL was about my favorite Online Multiplayer Game called Halo. Even the Blog was about Internet Marketing, I wrote about Gaming.

That’s where I second got wrong in the journey to creating Authority Internet Marketing blog.

While I was writing those gaming articles, I didn’t think much about the Promotion side of the blog. I found a site which offer free services to submit blogs into free directories, free search engines. I used that free service. I submitted two, three times per day with that service(It’s what we called Unknowingly Spamming).

People get lost in the streets of an strange city and bloggers do really bad mistakes when they are new to industry.

Link Building is something which is very popular among Newbies and Pro bloggers, but the method used by these 2 kinds of people are often different. I used a Free Service to build backlinks to old SGL, That is totally filled with crappy links that are generated in their site. – No Pain, No Gain, No Value.

As every other beginner blogger I used Google’s Blogspot. I hadn’t got money to buy premium blogger templates, So I used a free one and customized it the way I wanted it to be looked. I think it’s the GoGreen blogger template from DeluxeTemplates.  That way I didn’t spent much time on the template of the old blog.

When the first week of the Old ScorpionGod Lair Blog spent like that way, I started to write about Online Money Making article too. I didn’t notice that Gaming and Internet Marketing don’t relevant to keep in the same room at that time. Almost all the articles in the Old Blog looks small and got Spelling Errors & Grammar Errors.

Going to Earn Money

While writing that old blog I did PTC -Paid-To-Click (It’s a Dead Industry full of Sins!!). So I made a post including all my referral links. I earned about total of 50$ by doing PTC around a year time frame(Huge Smile). I used Google Adsense to monetize my blog. I failed with Google Adsense because of breaking the Adsense Laws. I used Adbrite and so many other great ad networks.

But I failed.

Another mistake of using so many PPC Advertising Programs at the same time.

Meanwhile, I learned a lot about Google Adsense(Definitely I share them with you!) and read all of their guidance, rules,  policies, TOS and Help Center too. Then I understood why my Adsense Account was banned. There were some reasons.

1. Using Traffic Exchange Sites to drive traffic.

Then I thought to throw away that damn blogspot blog which earned much negative impacts from Google. It’s a happy to tell you that I got Google Page Rank 1 for that blog in the August. And That was the month I stopped my lovely blog with the hope of starting the same blog with more professional way, more developed way on the WordPress Platform.

It’s here!

The Big Lessons I Learned

• If you start your blog without a Clear Strong Idea or simply Clear Vision there are more chances to end with a big fail. In my case I wrote  irrelevant posts to each other – Gaming and Internet Marketing.
• Choose the wise platform for your blog. I recommend WordPress self hosted version. Make your blog theme or template look professional in every aspect. I recommend you to use Genesis Themes since they are fast, secure & search optimized.
• Before keeping foot onto the war zone make sure you’ve grabbed all the things you need. Learn about it. Research about it. Experiment with it. Ready your brain to start the fight. Simply, If you are going to run your blog on WordPress make sure you familiar with it. Same thing goes to every other thing you’re going to do or use.
• Don’t Ever use free traffic generating services or software.  Traffic exchange sites, traffic generation software will throw you away from the battlefield.
• When you are going to use a free service or a paid service first search about it. Read what others say about it. Then think whether you’re going to use it or put it to the dustbin.

Summary

In this blogging world you have to learn much more about it before you start it. Read more articles on this side. Grab more knowledge. Always try to show you are a professional, but your works must be always straightly professional. Do only right fair things. Unless you’ll fail with a big disappoint.
