What I read from blogging gurus sometimes is that the tips suited big blogs like theirs but when applied to a new blog, the tips will not work/ This is why the tracking part, as you said, is important.

Nowadays, people just follow blogging tips blindly, sometimes without even realizing that it’s just being a time waste. Most people don’t do the tracking part, i.e., they don’t track the results and the outcome and whether or not it benefited them in any way. And as a result, they end up wasting their time.

I never follow any blogging tips blindly, be it from a blogging guru. I always test and track myself and drop the idea if it doesn’t work…

@ Chris
If you are patient, you can beat off other competitors very easily as well since there are not much patient people around.

@ Deimos
Nah, that is not blindly, many blogs implemented it as well. Until now, that issue is not being clarified by Google other than the indirect method of notifying.

“What do you think about the guide that I have pointed out above?”
Good?

As others have already mentioned, patience is very important if one decides to get one’s feet wet in the blogsphere.

“Have you seen an example of either you or others blindly implemented a blogging guide?”
Erm, I think I blindly implemented the nofollow free guide before?

kljs reminded me the consequences of going up against Google and I reconsidered my actions.

I guess it also comes down to the reasons your blogging for. If you’re solely blogging for money which I highly advise not to, then you’re most likely to get impatient and keep switching around strategies. Patience patience patiencee

@ Chris and kljs
That is indeed true. People switch things too fast. It’s like you just try out a new ad platform, finding it not making any money at the first few days and you have decided to take it off your blog.

Things need time to perform and sometimes, the BIG DAY might be the day after you remove the thing.

@ abi
Patience can be nurtured though. I started out blogging as an impatient boy but the Internet and its users tame me.

Or some people didn’t give their methods enough time for it to work. Some people wants results as soon as possible. Which is a wrong way to do it.

I think alot of people fail to do Performance Tracking in-depth. They try something new, realize it doesn’t work and try something else. But they don’t focus on why it didn’t work. I think performance tracking is very important and should be done on a regular basis.
