Don’t be shock and don’t be afraid, because this serial killer only targeting on certain criteria of blog for their killing so if you think your blog have none of the criteria that they are looking for so you have nothing to worry about, your blog is safe and secure. This serial killer consist of , The silent killer, the shock killer, the suicidal killer and the backstabber killer
We manage to get from police the criteria that often become the victim of the each killer -
The silent killer – “I’m on top of the world bitch, who are you?”
The silent killer love to kill blog that the owners are pain in the ass because of their ego. They think they are the “pro blogger” just because they make a bit money with their blog, and every time people try to learn something from them or even asking for help – they mostly will ignore the inquiry. If they busy that somewhat okay, but if they just doesn’t care inquiry from medium-rated blogger or lower, they are the top of the list that will be kill by the silent killer. Silent killer kill the blog without a notice, it kill slowly even the owner didn’t notice it, when finally the blog no longer ‘loved’ by reader – the silent killer actually have succeed killing the blog.
The shock killer – “I have nothing to learn, I know everything”
Just because they have read lots of books, and write many good tutorial, the become mindless folk, nothing to learn for them they know everything. Every time people try to bring new idea, they reject but because of that their blog post keep repeating same thing – when people write a new thing they still talking about oldie but they say goodies. Yes oldie post still work but if there is nothing new just wait because shock killer gonna kill you in instance, they come and “poof” your blog no longer as good as before.
The suicidal killer – “I teach you how to make money and I make none”
“Funny how people do things”, that one quote from suicidal killer says one police. The funny thing refers to some blogger they just grab making money online niche out of the air and start to teach people this and that. When people ask for proof that they actually make money, the reply none. They have nothing to show, they want to make money by teach people how to make money but they make no money with their blog. It just like you try to teach people how to drive when you even don’t know how to start the car. The suicidal killer job is simple, every time you bluffing to teach people, it actually killing your blog.
The backstabber killer - “I think my ads is not enough even if I placed it everywhere”
I know how much you want to make money, me too it’s a lie if I say I don’t want to, but just be realistic here, if your ads so clustered and it is more stand up than your content how on earth you will make money out of it? Put as much ads as you want, the more the merrier but just make sure that it is well-placed and reader does not get distracted with ads while reading your post. The backstabber killer do like your blog if you do that mistake because the things that you do in hope that you get more money actually killing your blog.
That are the four serial killer that actually created by blog owner that why they free to kill any blog. You can prevent it from killing your blog though -
The silent killer – You just have to make sure that you keep your head down and accept inquiry from all blogger they eager to learn new things because of their eagerness to learn that makes you who you are.
The shock killer – Even if you know a lot of thing just make yourself empty when you try to learn something. When you try to teach be proud and make yourself the guru, but when you try to learn make yourself a poor little student. Don’t stop learning as long as you breathing.
The suicidal killer – There is nothing wrong to teach people what you know, but make sure you actually doing it first. If you so eager to write about MMO niche, make sure you blog in something else first and when you manage to make money out of it so now you can teach people how to make it too.
The backstabber killer – As I said before, you can put as many ads as your want but just be more care about the design and the placement. Don’t just learn where to put ads so that become more effective but try to learn how to make your ads not disturbing the content. In blogging you should strive to show off your content rather than your ads.

i’ve experienced this back in august but i just dont give a fuck, then they slowly disappear. for me, this is challenge, i think, if we have self confidence, we shouldnt have to worry about it. as long as we do our best and majority love our work, just keep on blogging. dont give a fuck to them. too much ego will slowly kill their talent. =D

Aha, these serial killers sound like blogger cops to me with sudden execution right on the spot. POW!!. lol
Owh! i might have to pay for bodyguards then.
Apart from these serial killers, i hate trolls too which feed on negative comments.
Yeah, one thing for certain when blogging, we are opening ourselves to risks of being flamed by anons (aka anonymous).
But i hope i wont attract any of these serial killers or blogger cops. LoL
Thanks for sharing Izzat.

Oh my yes, suicidal is certsiny #1. Out of ALL the inane MMO supposed blogs online, a very small percentage make any money themselves.
The saddest part is, they don’t even realize until it’s too late, that everyone knows they are full of it!

i got an email sometime back, here is the contents of the mail,
[hey, i tried to make money on the internet from various ways and could not even made a single cent, so finally started a blog on the make money online niche where i tell people how to make money online, but the problem is that i don't have traffic, please help]
i politely suggested him to leave the niche and write on some other niche… next time will send the link to this article with anchor text as – “The suicidal killer”
nice article, covers all the wrong things the bloggers should avoid, thanks,

You can still prove you make money from a MMO blog. You just have to do your keyword search. If you can rank for a profitable keyword, you can make money. It is when you are trying to use social media, that it is hard to make money in the MMO niche.
