[Timinator]

save everything you do on http://del.icio.us/ also

I get a few hits now, and then from people searching there.

Add video to your blog! People nowadays go online just to watch videos.

I liked your pretty pictures Timinator. Also, Clarissa101, a video does not need to include my ugly mug does it? Is there any low-cost methods for doing videos? I think it would be fun to do one.

Thanks!

Make some posts related to recent issues or technology which can be useful to visitors. So, that you can get some traffic.

A good content can only make a good blog.

Is there anything else I can do to help my lack of visitor problem. I know I am not good with blogging now, but that will change in time. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Unless you purchase and use a domain that already has a high page rank value or that was popular with a lot of people, your not going to get a ton of visitors over night, unless of course you wrote some insane article that received 2000 diggs.

Receiving visitor traffic is a slow and steady process. It begins with no visitors, then after you get the links around by posting in forums like this, you start to notice a trickle of traffic coming in. Keep going around and doing your promotional techniques while writing good content. After two months of blogging, look at your statistics to determine if your strategies are working or not.

I's a slow and steady process. the hardest part is staying motivated after a month of writing content with what appears to be no one reading it. Just keep at it and monitor your blogs stats, tweak your strategy and always improve.

People do not know your blog exist, that is why no visitors. Try to gain exposure for your blog like submitting to blog directories, by participating in forum, leave comments on other blogs with similar theme as yours, exchange links with others, submitting to bookmarking site- this I have not try myself but a lot of people suggested this.

Does anyone have a list of some good blog directories?

Not a blog directory per say but it does net you some of the same results. http://www.v7n.com/forums/blog-promo...-rss-feed.html

Create quality content - an interesting topic attracts visitors

Submit it to directories - you could get quality backlinks from them

Promote your blog - through forum postings, article writings, blog comments

Hi Lawren!

Utilizing your forum sigs and posting also on other blogs should get you traffic - aside from all the other ways mentioned

[work2bfree]

I want to thank all of you for sharing. I have saved a few links and written down of few of your suggestions in my notebook for future use. I will study these ideas and suggestions later. I am learning so much from all of you and I thank you much for this experience.

If your blog is Wordpress I would recommend using these plugins:

Share This

http://alexking.org/projects/wordpre...ect=share-this

Digg This

http://tuggo.org/projects/diggit/

Submit all your postings (on your own) to Digg, Netscape, and Reddit. Don't submit to Reddit more than once a day or your submissions may not show up anymore.
