Getting Traffic To Your Blog

This is the question asked constantly.
How do I get more traffic to my blog?


Everybody would like lots of traffic. Duh.

This is the part with lots of hard work.
  1. Put accurate, attractive, complete, relevant, and timely content into your blog. You start with the content.
  2. Get your friends to link to your blog, where your blog is relevant.
  3. Participate in forums, where your blog is relevant, and include the URL.
  4. Comment on other blogs, in relevant comments, and include the URL.
  5. When you have done all of the above, your blog will have some weight. Submit your blog to the search engines, for indexing.

Remember though, none of this happens overnight. Search engines can take months to index your blog fully. And even when indexed, don't expect for a search, to some key element in your blog, to give you an entry on the first page of the search hits.

And know what your readers are looking for. If you see a trend of readers, go with the trend.

But enjoy your blog. If you enjoy it, you will keep at it. And regular updates will develop regular readers, which will encourage regular updates.

Adding A Link To Your Blog Post

Occasionally, you see a very odd, cryptic complaint I just added a link in my blog, but the link vanished! No, it wasn't your imagination.

What's The URL Of My Blog?

We see the plea for help, periodically I need the URL of my blog, so I can give it to my friends. Help! Who's buried in Grant's Tomb, after all? No Chuck, be polite. OK, OK. The title of this blog is "The Real Blogger Status", and the title of this post is "What's The URL Of My Blog?".

Embedded Comments And Main Page View

The option to display comments, embedded below the post, was made a blog option relatively recently. This was a long requested feature - and many bloggers added it to their blogs, as soon as the option was presented to us. Some blog owners like this feature so much, that they request it to be visible when the blog is opened, in main page view. I would like all comments, and the comment form, to be shown underneath the relevant post, automatically, for everyone to read without clicking on the number of comments link. And this is not how embedded comments work.
