@Sudharshan yes dude this how I got irritated in recent times from my readers. So I thought to share my experience with my readers so that we can help each other mutually.
Nice experience… Guest blogging is one thing that caught my mind…
Good points.
Another way to irritate your readers is to overwhelm them with sponsored posts filled with affiliate links and trying to sell them stuffs that they have NO interest.
the best way to irritate blog visitors is to start sending emails on the email id they leave in the comments, this is by far the most successful way to irritate readers
