Money Obsession
One of the saddest example is of a blogger who had been running a really successful blog, with growing and loyal following. Seeing this growth, he got bitten by the “money from blogging” bug so badly that it ended up ruining his blog. He deleted from his archive any content that had no income earning potential and added so many ads that it was hard to find the actual content. Eventually he ended up writing only on topics that he thought would be earners. In the end, he lost most of his readers and ended up with an uninteresting blog.
Distractions and Clutter
Many people try some ads, but because the payoff is not worth the space of the ads, they pull the ads later. Ads also one of the element of clutter of a blog. Especially if the conversion isn't sufficient and they seem pointless. Every blogger has a different opinion about the clutter ads create depend on the type of ad and the blog topic. This is one of the reasons why many bloggers remove advertisements and stop getting revenue.
Loss of Reputation
Reputation is very important and increasingly hard to build these days. Many bloggers manage to build reputation and audience, and then they wash them down the drain. One of the cause of this is when a blogger look for more income from affiliate commissions and paid reviews. as their next income after advertising. The problem emerges when they review a product that they have no knowledge of. This results in inaccurate review of a product. In some cases, they even rip people of by promoting defective products. In the end, their reputation will be bad and most of their audience will be lost. A situation which is very hard to recover from.
