Many people start their blogs to bud them into a business hopefully, or maybe to promote an existing one, and of course, some people set up blogs simply because they want to share their writing with as many people as possible.

It can, then, be very upsetting when a blog does not do as well as it expected, fails to get much traffic, and does not do whatever it was set up to do.
If your blog is not doing as well as you would like, you probably want to know why that is to make changes and start improving things. With that in mind, here are some of the most common reasons your blog may not be working out as you hoped:
Your blog is too slow
A fundamental reason no one reads your blog could be that it takes too long to load, and people are too impatient to wait. If that is the case, we suggest Nestify as a great WordPress host that will improve your speed and hopefully prevent people from giving up before they’ve even had a chance to read your stuff.
You aren’t using the right keywords.
Keywords are what direct traffic your way. When people search for a specific thing, if you have included related keywords in your blog posts, there is a good chance that your blog will appear high in the search engine results. If you aren’t using keywords or not using the right keywords for your content, no one will see your blog, and you will not get much traffic. Research and include keywords in all of your posts, and things should start to pick up.
Your content is low quality.
Content that is too short features many spelling errors or does not effectively answer a question or entertain the reader is hardly going to convince people to keep reading, buy your stuff, visit your business, or do whatever you want them to do. If it is awful, it probably won’t even show up on the first ten pages of Googe, which means no one will even get to see it anyway.
Sit down, plan your content, and take your time to write and proofread it before publishing, and you will stand a much better chance of success.
You’ve given up too soon.
Many new bloggers get disheartened that hardly anyone has viewed their content, but this is perfectly natural when you are new. You need to give it some time for search engines to pick up your blog, readers to find it, and people to start recommending you. If you give up too soon, this will never happen, so keep plugging away, and eventually, your numbers will improve.
Blogging isn’t an exact science, but if you are doing or not doing any of the above, as the case may be, try making a change, and hopefully, you will start to see more success shortly.
