5 things you can do to help your blog and mine!

If you're blogging and want to make your blog better or increase traffic, here is what I have learned thus far as a fledgling blogger.

  1. Write good content that is true to you and has value to others.
  2. Be patient and consistent. (Write consistently and be patient for results.) 
  3. Share your blog with family and friends. If they won't read it who will?
  4. Create links to blogs you like and ask people who like you to link to your page
  5. Ask people to +1 your blogs, comment on them, and share them.
There you have have it! 5 things that will make your blog better and increase traffic to it!

  1. Not sure if you're looking for CC's here, but one thing that I have noticed on your blog that it is difficult to navigate to your most recent post from your main landing page (http://sevendaysofblogging.blogspot.com). The general guideline of a blog is to put the most recent post on the top of your main page. Most users that visit a website will leave within 5-8 seconds and will lost interest if they need to click more that once or twice to find something. Don't take this the wrong way, but this is what I have observed in the past 14 years of working with the Internets.

  2. Elma, thanks for the comment. For some reason in went right to the spam folder. I agree with you about how blogs normally work and have been considering going to that format. I think when I originally made this blog the idea was to create different categories so that if someone was only interested in one they could read about that subject without being bogged down by the other posts.
