20 Tricks To Drive Traffic Away From Your Blog

Use 5 Adsense blocks on every page, especially when you’re blog is new.
Get music to play automatically when people visit…doesn’t everybody love “Def Leppard – Pour Some Sugar on Me”?
Have so much blogger bling (plug-ins, badges, etc) that readers can’t tell the difference between content and bling.
Use fonts that are too large, too small or too difficult to read.
Use a color scheme with poor contrast…light colors on light background.
Don’t optimize images for the web – making your page loading time 7 weeks long.
Use a rainbow colour scheme with rainbow gradients everywhere
Don’t offer RSS feeds.
Use a visible feed counter when you only have 2 subscribers.
Don’t use points or subheadings and write posts that span 10 pages with no paragraph breaks.
Design a site that is only usable in one web browser.
Never trackback to other blogs – who needs links anyway?
Never leave comments on other blogs, never reply to comments left on your blog or emails relating to your blog.
Turn comments off. (is it really a blog if you don’t have comments?)
Delete comments just because they disagree with you.
Use popups…or pop unders for that matter.
Require registration in order to leave comments.
Use flashing GIF’s especially nice big ones that will give some of your readers a fit.
Have a misleading title
