If you want to make your blog successful, your posts should get the attention of the readers. You certainly want to have a large audience and the best way to achieve that is to provide them quality content.

But aside from posting interesting content, you also have to bear in mind some blog etiquette and practices to make sure you do not step someone else’s shoe or steal other blogger’s content.

One of the blogging issues bloggers should bear in mind is copyright law. When blogging, it is easy to get excited about an idea, article or photo and post a review of it on your blog only to find out later on that you got yourself in trouble when the owner or author comes across it.

You might wonder why they can’t be happy with your free advertisement. The truth is that discriminating between a blogger who tries to help and one who tries to pass of this new information as theirs is difficult.

If you want to post something in your blog, owned by someone else, do not forget to cite your sources. Add links and ask permission from the owner. Some blog owners are willing to give you a copy of the photo you like but usually with their personal watermark.

User privacy is also a huge issue with blogging. With spam and spammers proliferating around the internet, many users are rightfully careful with protecting their private information. Getting personal information about your readers without them being aware of it is not allowed.

Spreading or selling information willingly given to you without the permission or knowledge of the commenter is also illegal. Even when gathering email addresses of your readers to send out a newsletter weekly make sure to provide an opt-in or an opt-out box so there will be no question of whether the readers were spammed by you or received a good email from you.

There are a lot of dos and don’ts when it comes to blogging and you might want to know about them especially if you are new into blogging. Your online behavior will represent a lot about them.

There are so many rules to bear in mind while blogging. It is not possible to write about anything just because you want to post it especially if it contains explicit language not suitable for your readers.

When leaving comments to the blog of others, do not mention anything not related to it. It is also not good manners to leave your URL on the comment. It is rude to leave your website on your comment while others are trying to make comment about the topic of the post.

Blog etiquette should be practiced if you want to stay in the blogosphere. Your blog can never be successful if you are not polite to your readers, commenters and fellow bloggers. For more please check us out at http://www.bloggingtips.com/
