Blogging Interview Question:

What are the most common blogging mistakes? What should webloggers do to prevent making these mistakes? Are there any "best practices" for weblogging?

I'm sure there are best practices for bloggers... I don't really claim to know them. My only thought here is, find a style that works for you.

For example, a big driver of traffic is how frequently you update your site. A lot of the high-traffic sites consist of links + comment, a format that works well for many updates a day. Sometimes I try to link to more stuff, and it just doesn't work for me. I like to write out longer blog posts and long-form essays. Links just aren't my style, and I'm ok with that.

So I guess that's my best practice - do what comes naturally, and don't sweat it if you lose traffic.
