Drawbacks of Bad Posts

Posted by mikko on January 7, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Waaa, I’ve been a bad blogger lately. It’s been a long time ago since I posted a good post. I promise to post a good post soon. I have tons of postables posts on Draft mode, I hope I can have time to finish them soon.

Ooops, how about making this post a good post? Nice idea. Just changed the title of this post from “This Blog Needs Good Post” to “Drawbacks of Bad Posts”, FYI.

First, I have to define bad posts on my own unhumble (haha) words. Bad posts are:

sponsored review posts. Why? Paid reviews are usually sugarcoated posts (in kuya Blogie’s terms). Most of the reviewers doesn’t even have a first-hand exposure to the service or the product.
posts made just to drive traffic (SEOing for traffic). I’ve created a lot of them: the UPCAT, DLSUCET, ACET and MSU-SASE posts. Even though they’re almost worthless except for the results page link, they generate a lot of hits anyway.

I must admit that at least 10 of my previous posts fit my own definition of a bad post (ang labo ko!). Here are the drawbacks of having crappy posts one after another (based on my own experience):

Sudden decrease in average visit length. Uhm, it’s obvious. No one would care to stay long to a blog with crap posts.
Drop of feed subscribers. I used to have 30+ feed subscribers on weekends. When I started posting bad posts, it decreased to 20+. Huhuhu.

[Lesson learned on the original post.]
