Everybody is looking for the best possible ways to promote their blogs without spending a lot of money. Most bloggers will tell you that they don’t pay much attention to their stats or don’t really care if people visit their sites. Well, they are lying because why would someone put up blog and spend all those time writing on it if they don’t want people to read what they have to say.

Simple and Easy To Navigate Template

We noticed successful blogs have very simple and easy to navigate templates. It takes new visitors only a split second to decide whether to read your blog or move on to next one. It’s especially true if they are using some type of traffic exchange services like Blogexplosion or Blogazoo. Your template design will help you to make that first impression and grab your new visitors’ attention. The most obvious mistakes that people normally make were mentioned in our previous articles about The Four Cardinal Sins of Bloggers. However, there are more things that you can do to avoid making bad impressions.

• Use Pleasant Looking Fonts – It’s important to have simple and easy looking fonts on your blog such as Times New Roman or Arial. Please don’t use multiple colored fonts.
• Utilize Empty Spaces – However, this doesn’t mean to put up 10 different Adsense banners on your blogs. It simply means to choose a template that covers entire area of your screen. We see many blogs that have very narrow templates and those blogs are very annoying to read on large computer monitors.
• No animated graphics or flash banners – Blogs that have many animated graphics or flash banners resemble shady web sites that feature pornographic materials or gambling.
