most important things for a blog

[Jim Beam]

I would say looks plays a great role. And of cource location of your ads...Sometimes they are badly put on the blog. This can be a reason of little profit you make...

[ghing]

just like what others said.. Content is the most important thing for a blog..

the other thing are the look of a blog.. how readable it is.. the content of a blog should be readable and easy to understand.. also the ads.. if the blogger put lots of ads on his/her site.. it looks like he/she just want to earn money rather than sharing their thoughts..

it is much more fun reading a blog with unique contents and also the design..
just like Chr1ssstopher said..

"CONTENT IS KING AND DESIGN IS THE QUEEN"

Other than content you need readers.

I just want simplicity in a blog. I don't want to get lost with so much graphics galore.

my mind said 'content'
my eyes said 'beautiful theme'

Title and Description (on the code) must be good and competitive too.

There are many things that I see in a blog like its

Content
Links
Page Rank
Layout
Age

To be honest the first thing that grabs me is the design and colors used. Then if I like them I pay attention to the content. If the font and its size is suitable matter also.

Blogs are being read first of all and that's why you have to understand that you need concentrate ads somewhere туф navigation tools to get ad visible.
