Common Mistakes in Business Blog Web Design
Overview
As more companies embrace blogging, we’re gaining insights into effective design strategies. Drawing inspiration from Jakob Nielsen’s article, let’s explore common pitfalls in business blog design.
1. Unclear Headlines
Creative headlines can be intriguing, but they often miss the mark with search engine optimization. Ensure your headlines clearly convey the post’s topic to enhance both reader understanding and search visibility.
2. Ineffective Links
Navigating links should be intuitive. Readers need clarity on where a link will lead them. Avoid generic phrases like “click here.” Instead, use descriptive anchor text that provides context and sets accurate expectations.
3. Poor Navigation and Inaccessible Archives
Relying solely on calendars for navigation can be limiting. Users often search for older posts, but not all blogs offer a search option. Implementing easy-to-find archive links, as I have with [Meryl’s Notes](http://www.meryl.net/blog/) and [Meryl’s Notes Features](http://www.meryl.net/articles/), is crucial. This ensures valuable content remains accessible, even years later.
4. Irregular Posting
Consistency is key in blogging. Infrequent updates can cause readers to lose interest and abandon your blog entirely. Regular posting maintains audience engagement and sustains their interest.
5. Consider Your Professional Image
Always be mindful of how content may be perceived by current or prospective employers. Blog posts can influence professional opportunities, as employers often research candidates online.
6. Memorable URLs
While using platforms like Blogspot or Typepad is common, having a distinct, professional URL enhances brand recall. Avoid complex URLs that are hard to remember, even if they don’t necessarily seem unprofessional.
Conclusion
Business blogging offers significant benefits but also comes with challenges. Companies should establish clear guidelines for content approval and ensure alignment with their business model. Regular evaluation will help maintain effective blogging strategies.
Navigating the blogging landscape with these considerations in mind can lead to greater success in engaging audiences and enhancing your company’s online presence.
