When I started writing my blog(s), I did so mainly because I found it to be a great learning method. After all, you can’t just ramble on about a subject without having some level of knowledge about it… otherwise you just wind up looking like an idiot. I still apply that line of though to my writing. However, I have recently become more interested in the ‘blogosphere’ as whole. I want to share what I have learned with more people, perhaps inspire others and maybe even discover that I’m not that different from other people.
I found a great blog post over at blog of Jared Prins, a colleague of mine. He has summarized a big list of traffic building tips from several different blogging pros. Some of great tips I found helpful are:
- Post on weekdays because there are more readers… and post on weekends because there are fewer new posts. Basically, just post regularly!
- It’s not enough to allow others to comments/discuss on your blog; you need to read and comment on other blogs as well, including your link (of course).
- Learn enough to be an expert in your field.
There is a lot more in Jared’s post… head on over and read it. I’m going to be busy implementing some of his tips.
Jeez, and I though popularity contests ended with high school.
