If you want to have more people visit your blog, there are plenty of blog directories on the Internet that you can submit your blog to so that people will come and visit it. Most blog directories are listed by the topics that the blogs that are submited cover.
Blog Catalog is a free blog directory that offers categories such as career and jobs, writing, Iraq, and many others. It has features such as featured blogs and other things to offer those who submit their blogs there.
Another great place to add your blog is blog-drectory.org. Not only do they have an extensive list of categories with sub categories, you can get your blog reviewed. For the most popular blogs, it shows the amount of hits that blogs have and if they have any reviews. As well as listing by category, the blogs are also listed by location.
There are other blog directories on the Internet – these are only a couple of them. But blog directories are a great place to advertise your blog and to make new friends. You never know what you will find when you browsing through the directory, and you may just find out information that you never knew. Some of the blog directories offer chat features as well, so that
you can meet other people easily.
As you can see, blog directories are a great place to get your blog noticed and bring people to read your blog and look at your pictures.
If you want people to be able to find your blog, something that is important is that you have good Search Engine Optimization, or SEO.
Having a blog on the Internet that gives people some good informaton doens’t do a lot of good if people don’t know that it’s there.
Whenever you put one or more words into a search bar to look for something, the SEO of a website is what helps bring up those websites.
For example, if your blog is about Harry Potter, you want to be sure that your blog includes popular terms such as Harry Potter, JK Rowling, and other things that are related to Harry Potter.
Think about the things that people look for when they are interested in Harry Potter, and the kinds of things that come up when you search.
It’s always a good idea to use your own experience when you are optimizing your blog for searching.
Think about what has worked, what hasn’t worked, and use them for your own blog SEO. This way, when someone puts one of the terms that you put in your blog into a search engine it will be one of the sites that comes up.
Of course, there are other factors that come into play that determine where your blog will come up in the list, but everyone starts somewhere. The more keywords that your blog uses, the more people will come to your blog. It just takes time and patience.
The thing I wanted to talk about today is how to get more traffic to your blog.
Blogging traffic works like a give and take relationship. Sometimes one of the best ways to get traffic to your blog is by visiting someone else ’s blog.
Go to their blog and read one of their entries, or read a few of them. Chances are that you are going to find something that you have in common.
When you find something that you find truly interesting on a blog, leave a comment so that they know that you were there.
One of the best known blogs available is LiveJournal. A great feature of LiveJournal is that you can search for interests on their site and it will come up with results of those who have that interest.
Are you interested in scuba diving, then you can see what other bloggers are interested in scuba diving as well.
When you are commenting on someone’s post, you want to make sure that you don’t leave generi comment. If you like the post, say something about what you read in the post.
After you have commented on the person’s post, then you can say something like, ‘I really like scuba diving too. I had a similar experience to yours.’ and then use it to link back to your journal.
But be sure that you sound sincere when you are commenting, and don’t make them feel like you’re just fishing for traffic.
If someone thinks that you are using their blog to get more traffic to yours, they won’t visit your site and your efforts will be wasted.
This might look like my first post in a new site, but actually I have been blogging for a long time now.
What happened? Well our computer broke down, I have been changing server, and to make it complete, the 3 week old backup device called it the night 3 days later!
I lost a lot of work, but it’s no use sitting here and feeling sorry about that. I desided to give it a new fresh start.
Anyway, the way the internet works, with new things happening every day, it’s best looking forward.
And if it is one thing I have learned form my internet adventures, it is never to give up.
