It seems that whenever we surf the internet, we see blogs, blogs and more blogs. They are everywhere! Go ahead, test it for yourself and see what I am talking about! Just type the word blog into any search engine and see what happens. You will see is millions of results for the word blog. Because the popularity of blogs is still increasing, people have deemed them as reliable sources of information. This is because a lot of blogs are created by normal every day people. But in the same aspect businesses also create blogs to increase traffic to their websites.
What if you run into factors that are unreliable? How do you go about fixing these unreliable factors? For starters, it is suggested that all bloggers should adhere to a natural set of blogging rules. These are rules that are not in any way set in stone, but they are basic rules that anyone should follow. Most of your rules should follow the blogging ethics guidelines as these are a very important set of ethics to follow. In applying the rules to your blog there are 5 basic rules you should apply to your own site.
1. Check your facts
This is a very important rule and it just makes sense. Make sure you check your facts before posting anything on your blog. Do some research on your topic and make sure the information that you have is correct. Doing basic research can save you from posting false information. When you post false information you will look bad and you will lose visitors to your site. Even after you have posted your blog check and make sure everything is correct. The more you check your facts the better off you will be. This is something I do constantly with what I post on blog. Information and the internet are constantly changing and we have to move with that change.
