How to Attract More Visitors to your Blog

  • Leave a comment on every story that you like by other bloggers. It makes everybody feel good and they may click on your name and view your website.
  • If a story fits, if the story is sort of journalistic and it is about a specific thing or on modern events, submit it to Digg
  • Link to other blogs
  • Respond to visitor comments (I don't know if this attracts more readers but actually do this just for fun!)
  • Post once a day if you can! And when you feel like blogging a LOT, then just save them as drafts and post them on other days. This very post that I'm posting I originally started on April 3rd, 2007, and today it is the 18th. If you have a few backup posts then you can publish on a regular basis more. I know that I don't do this much myself, I even call it a "monthly blog" in the description because of this!
  • Have a link to your blog in the signatures of forums and in your email address.
  • Write out the address of your blog on little pieces of paper and hand them out to your friends!
  • Blogger has an article about this very subject at this very long URL: http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=42377&query=attract%20visitors&topic=&type=f

Bored? here's Ten Internet Timewasters.

  1. Google Yourself
  2. Wikipedia Article-hopping
  3. See what websites used to look like.
  4. See how many blogs you can leave a comment on in 15 minutes, go!
  5. Read some books!
  6. Dogpile Joke of the Day
  7. Do some Digg-ing
  8. Keep a Pixelated Tire in the air
  9. If you have a blog, make sure you've responded to comments, if you've done that, fiddle with the design and sidebar content, if you've done that, read your archives, if you don't have a blog, then if you're reading this then you have time to spare, so start one! If you don't know what to blog about, you could link to this post as the one that convinced you start blogging!
  10. Draw a Sledding Slope Note: If you want to play the game without a moving ad next to it (as I do), simply press the "Refresh" browser button and then the "Stop" browser button as soon as the actual game box loads. The order of the loading stuff on the site is: Left Ad, Game box, Right Ad. If you stop it before the right ad, you can scroll to the right and voila! no ad. You might wonder why I do all this work in order to play a game. Well, they got me hooked before the major Car and Travel ads came onto their site.
