Hitchhikers are welcome (at least for now).
I am working pretty hard right now just to get more traffic to come to my blog to visit and maybe leave a comment or two. I, for one,
think that I have something contribute, even if it’s not the wittiest post, or even the most entertaining. So, in my attempt to look around to find out how I can gain more traffic, I came across some advice about getting more traffic to my blog.
One of the pages I visited, suggested that I use craigslist to gain more traffic. Of course, the advice also stated that you should have relevent content and it should be good. Well, I guess there goes my idea out the window. But, if you think about it, who are they to judge what is relevent or not?
So, I started looking at craigslist and came across LuckyMama’s ad. She has some good ideas about driving traffic to your website. To
visit LuckyMama, click here. I also started looking at the forum and what topics I was interested in and came across the supernatural forum section. Being a ghosthunter at heart, I started posting some comments on the forum and have had a request for a photo – which I post on my own blog, of course.
So, I guess I am slowly getting the hang of it. It looks like the true secret to getting web traffic and more readers is to keep posting and being consistent in your postings. As the saying goes, If you build it, they will come.
In the meantime, I’m just happily building my blog catalog of posts.
Hey, I tried your link for LuckyMama, and it said her blog was removed? What was the suggestions she had?
I love to collect readers for my blog… I’m not sure what my motivation is, really, but I get so excited when I look at my site meter and the numbers have gone up!
What’s worked best for me (not that I have huge numbers of readers, of course…) is:
– sending a link to family and friends – Like, for example, if I take a picture I really like, I ask my girlfriend if she minds if I post it on my blog – and when that raises the inevitable questions of “what blog?” or even “what is a blog?”, I send her a link.
and
commenting on other people’s blogs, when they interest me, just like you did with me!
PS — I can put your blog up on my sidebar, if that’s OK with you. I would be happy if you wanted to put me up on yours as well!
From what I remember — I looked at so many sites — I believe she suggested that we go onto forums and become active. Usually having a signature with your website address and if all goes well, people will be bound to click on your site to see what you’re all about.
