Sometimes some blogs just do not work out and it is better if you begin it all over again.

Totally agree with you. I have seen some bloggers quiting their blogging carreer. And I think they must give it another try.

“No work, no mistake.” lol Well, that’s what my funda is. but at the end of the day you got to do a little bit of work to get your blog going.

You try a lot of things where most of them wont work so you start to hesitate. A week later you come back start working again. Well, that’s what happens with me(but instead of the week its months sometimes).

Maybe you can another thing to your list. Server failure, no backup, i.e., all’s gone. And now you have to start again. I had this problem in the initial phases but corrected it with a better hosting server and regular backups.

Melvin, it’s the last resort… if one can improvise and get back traffic, it is okay to continue. At times, SE delisting can completely stop the traffic and in such cases it makes sense to start afresh.

Ruchi,
Yes, once you created a bad image on the web, it’s hard to continue with the same blog. Unfortunately, web archives/cache has all proofs from the past

Your points are true. Still, I cannot imagine myself starting all over again from scratch. Just takes more work.

Agree with all your points. Especially about negative branding. Online reputation is really important when it comes to blogging.

Lakshmi,
For example, I had planned some niche blogs that were supposed to be making money out of purely on Google AdSense and organic visits for certain keywords. I got banned by AdSense recently and had to close that project as no other monetization methods would work on that blog.

Hi Ajith,

Can you explain what you meant by ” irreversible monetization strategy” ?

Cheers.

Wouldn’t go starting it all over again.. but I always try to improve the current circumstances.. and banning is likely not to happen as 99% sticks to basics

Absolutely Nihar, you have no other go but start another in such cases. One can’t even flip the blog/domain if things went drastically wrong

Tushar, what happened to the cashmaker blog?

By: Ajith Prasad

Ajith Prasad — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 19:20:36 +0000

Yes Raju, you can always improvise when there’s scope for doing so. Cases like total ban by Google is almost always irreversible.

You said it in a better way than I conveyed A fresh start can always change the outlook positively by bringing in all your past experience… you are right, you can start something fresh even if things are okay with the current blog(s)

Ajith Prasad — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 19:15:24 +0000

Yes, as you rightly said one of the most important aspect here is the money.

By: Ajith Prasad

Ajith Prasad — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 19:14:36 +0000

Tom, that is the case with most people who jumped into the ‘make money online’ world without much experience

Starting all over again should only happen as you mentioned rightly in the post.

Google bans your blog / search engine marks the blog as bad / (could be n no. of reasons)
