50 Points Checklist to Improve Your Blog
August 24th, 2009 by Lax
You’re working hard to improve your blog and to maintain Quality. But still unhappy with the things moving around you. Right? May be correct. Of course you’re doing great job, but still some simple things are there, which you never noticed/cared.
Those are simple but valuable and helpful in the long run to improve your blog day to day. I found a consolidate list here at Seohosting…
- Use .htaccess to redirect the non-www version of your website to the www version.
- Extend the registration of your domain for at least five years.
- Make sure that when a visitor clicks your website’s logo, they are taken back to the homepage.
- If you think your font is too small, make it bigger!
- Remove widgets that aren’t directly enhancing your website.
- Include an easy to find contact link, e-mail address or phone number on every page of your website.
- Use a CSS stylesheet to make your website printer friendly.
- Fix or remove broken links (external and internal).
- Add ALT tags to all of your Images.
- If your website is using frames, get rid of them!
This is just an insight, find full list at Seohosting page
Hope you found the list useful. Are you following them? Share with us! Happy Blogging!!

Thanks for this Quality link. I will check it out.
The point 3 is very important. Most readers have basic instinct of clicking logo of blog to reach home page. So this point needs to be followed.
Yes i used to Do the same thing of clicking on logo to go home page. But i didn’t found any blog without that feature till now
For Point ” 8 ” use Xenu, its better to find broken links.
I never checked broken links till now but planning to Do it now immediately. I’ll try Xenu now
Thanks Anish.
I’ve never tried Xenu but I would like to recommend “Broken Link Checker” for WordPress. A free plugin which will search through all of your posts automatically a few times a week to make sure you have no broken links.
That’s a great plugin Stefan. Thanks you very much dude..
I use Google Webmaster Tools (sitemap)
All points are good and must be followed by every blogger. Could anyone tell me how to add ALT tags in all my Images as I am unable to Do that.

Thanks for the tips. But in case khalid blog is not WP, there is manual ways. Here we go :
make your image html source become like this :
ALT Text is text which shown when you pointing the pics with your mouse.
i think this all point is important, currently i am working on my logo,
Waiting to see you comfortable on WP soon. Thanks for your comments dude..
i want to check my broken links….i am a blogspot user…can u tell me how can i Do this?
I don’t think it does mind on which platform you’re. I mean any tool can Do that task for you even though you’re on blogspot.
You could use Googles own page for webowners. Add your site there and you’ll be able to look through all broken links Google have found.
Thanks for sharing it dude..
great tips to improve the blog performance
true,great tips
Thanks for both of your comments dude..
hmm, extend my domain into 5 years.. but i’m broke blogger.. huhu, maybe after I’m having good income I will be Do that, this is good Lax and I agree with you about the widget, because if you have to many widgets on you blog it’s will increase your loading time.
I will be Do that, this is good Lax and I agree with you about the widget, because if you have to many widgets on you blog it’s will increase your loading time….
Agree about widget, choose the priority and commonly used widget only such top commentator, recent articles, and subscribsion box.
There is many interesting widget such zodiak or google news, but i’m not sure visitor will get attention of it.
#3 is such a big one, and it’s so annoying when that is not active on someone’s blog and they don’t have a HOME link.
But it’s rarely happen. Mostly blogger already notice this matter and make homepage link in their logo.
But i’m agree, if there is a case, blogger forgot to make their logo redirect to blog homepage, it’s so annoying and big mistake.
yes this is important and we have to take care for this point.
It’s simple but killer, like a mosquito.
I don’t understand why extending my domain for at least 5 years can help me to improve my blog. Can you explain it more detail?
Or is it related to SEO purpose?
