Read the last paragraph, then the second paragraph, then the second to last and so on. This out of sequence reading prevents you from 'skimming' and forces you to focus on each word and sentence in their own right.

I sell content to various blogs and I personally proofread it to maintain quality and make my clients happy. It is good to do so because you don't want some crazy errors to happen when you publish it. My favorite tip is to “read it aloud” and if it makes enough sense that is the best way to proofread it.

That's a good point too. Writing shorter and simple sentences reduces the amount of mistakes but also make readers, who do not have English as their primary language, more at ease to read an article.

And most of the time when we are writing something, our mind is actually reading something else. That's why when we check an article again later, we can see errors that we didn't see while writing.

Luckily, my wife re-reads my postings to spot other errors. To add to all these tips, there's one that really helps: write short but to the point sentences. It has many advantages: less space for mistakes, better reader attention and great for SEO. Great article Kurt. I proof-read all my articles though some mistakes do go through the filters.
