Have you ever visited a blog and then found yourself being disappointed, even irritated, that you visited that blog?  Let us be honest – there are many blogs out there that fall into this category.  For one reason or another, these blogs do not really offer much to their readers or perhaps they do but their presentation does not entice people.  Of course, you wouldn’t want to have these kinds of blogs, would you?  Let us look at a few examples.

Too many anchor text words
Some experts have actually pointed out these blogs to be “anchor text spam.”  What do I mean by this?  Think about those blogs which seem to have too many links within the posts.  Now, let me make it clear that links within blog posts are very important.  They help readers get more information without having to search for it themselves.  But then, blogs that have an excess of such links within anchor texts are irritating.

I am sure that there are some bloggers who may not be aware that they are providing too many links and anchor text in their post.  Perhaps their idea is to offer as much assistance to their readers as they can – by providing the links to as many sources of information as they can.  This does not have to be the case, though.  Imagine reading through a 250-word post and having 10 links!

I suggest that you provide 2 or 3 links which are of the highest importance in relation to your post.  That should be enough to provide your readers with the necessary information.
