I think one of the biggest mistakes new bloggers make is focusing too much on the quantity of their content rather than its quality. In the long run, this can prevent a blog from growing to its full potential.

The biggest mistake is focusing only on publishing more articles. New bloggers should also understand search intent, improve existing content, build relevant links, use internal linking, and study what readers actually need.

Chasing big keywords too early is another killer. start with smaller topics you can actually compete for.

I think the use of AI in place of intent. I agree AI can help, but it should not be the one ending up doing everything. If that would be the case, eventually and obviously, the pages will get de-indexed. Moreover, quality wins every time. As I review many articles, these are two things I find missing now a days.

IMO, bigger mistake focusing on publishing frequency instead of quality. start with keywords and search intent, then make sure content actually solves the user's query. Use keywords naturally rather than chasing specific density.
