What can I do to increase my blog traffic?
I'm looking to attract viewers to my blog over the next few months. I don't expect anyone to flock to it, more so that I'm looking for forums and such I can get my name out and even visit other new blogsites. Any information would help, thanks.
By the way, you can review my blog here http://embercom.blogspot.com/
1. Add content
Add content, add content, and add content. Before you even register your domain, you should have enough ideas to build 100 pages on your site. Start brainstorming and see what you can come up with in 10 minutes. If that's not enough to fill 50 pages, consider not building the site at all. Having lots of content is important.
2. A simple design is better
Text content should outweigh the html content. Stay away from heavy flash, java, JavaScript, etc. Don't add to much stuff like 'best viewed with'… Your website should be viewable with any browser. Keep it clean and professional.
3. Keep the pages small
Smaller is better. Keep it under 15k if you can. Your site should be fast loading, or people will leave. Speed is everything. Next to content, that is. Keep it under 10k or 5k if you can. Difficult, but people love fast sites. Throw away all the trash on your pages.
4. Content length
Put a new page online every day of about 200 to 500 words. Go to the overture keyword suggester to find ideas of what to write about. Spell checks your content. Search engines can do it, and so should you. If you have a blog, go for article-like posts as opposed to the personal diary kinds of posts.
5. Use keywords
Use your keywords in the following places: title, description tag, heading, url, once bold, once italic and once high on the page.
6. Link to other sites
Put 2 links to other, high ranking pages on your site. They should be relevant to the content of that page and use keywords as your link. Don't add every link that's requested. Check their relevance first.
7. Link to your own site
Put links from one page to other relevant pages on your own site. Again: use keywords as your link.
8. Submit your site
Submit your site to Google, AltaVista, Yahoo, Msn, Hotbot, etc. Then forget about that for 6 months. Also submit it to every single directory you can find. Do a check after 6 months and resubmit if you're not listed.
9. Log and track
Most hosts provide these. Don't use a lame graphic counter. Check where your visitors are coming from to find out what traffic methods work best for your site.
10. Write for people
People are not coming to your site for your content. They are coming for their content. Try to write as if you are writing to one specific person, such as a friend of yours who's interested in the same topic. Don't try to write for 'all of your visitors'.
11. Stay ahead
If you know that something big will come out in a few months, build a page about it now. It gives search engines time to index that page so they can feed it to the growing anticipating crowd.
12. Add more content
This is so important: keep adding content. Do this for a year and your site will be a top ranking website within one year. You could've been there now, if you started last year. So start now, so you'll be there next year. You'll thank yourself (and me) later.

Here are my 10 tips:
1) Encourage your existing network (email, phone, chat) to visit your site.
Create a nice banner and encourage users to place it in their website, in exchange for you placing theirs of course.
2) Place your site URL as your chatname.
3) Offer an incentive for users to subscribe to your site. Could be an eBook. My experience is something tangible will get em all excited…
4) Visit sites and comment.
5) When writing about blogs, link as many keywords as you can to other blogs. Use technorati and search for the keyword, and pick the highly rated bloggers from the list.
6) Do offline marketing too. Promotions of online material is not only via online. Print your site on a mug, relatively cheap thing to do, and bring that gem everywhere you go.
7) Link others to your site, and negotiate them to link back to yours.
9) Include every conversation you can think of with your site in mind.
10) Create great content with a header that catches users and search engines, and hook readers with the ending bit of your posting so that they come back for more.

EARN EXTRA MONEY IN PAYPAL AS SEEN ON OPRAH AND 20/20
______________________________________…
Dear Friend,
You probably have seen these, but they really really do work, give it a try — think of how you waste $6 in a day, week or month. It's a minor investment with great rewards. This might really help you pay off those credit cards and give you the ability to move out.
If you could start your own mail order list with an investment of
$6.00, and make $800,000 over the next
year would you do it?
_____________________________________
***Proven by various, highly-respected U.S. TV and Radio programs as being 100% legal, feasible and true.***
***Oprah Winfrey and ABC's investigation team 20/20 also prove it can be done.***
IF A 15 YEAR OLD BOY COULD MAKE $71,000 IN JUST 5 WEEKS AND OTHERS $250,000 IN A FEW MORE WEEKS — SO CAN YOU !!!
Would you like to make $71,000 OR $250,000 in a few weeks?
As seen on the Oprah Winfrey show and ABC's 20/20
======================================…
The true story that has everyone talking:
Parents of a 15yr old boy find $71,000 in his closet:
You may have seen this story featured on a number of major news programs (United States), and reported elsewhere around the world.
His mother was doing some cleaning and putting some laundry away when she discovered a large brown paper bag that was suspiciously
buried beneath some clothes and a skateboard in the back of her 15-year-old sons closet.
Nothing could have prepared her for the shock she got when she opened the bag and found that it was full of dollar bills — $71,000 to be precise!!
"My first thought was that he had robbed a bank", says the 41-year-old woman, "There was over $71,000 in that bag,
that's more than my husband earns in a year".
The woman immediately called her husband at the car-dealership where he worked to tell him what she had discovered.
He came home right away and together they drove to the boys school and picked him up.
Little did they suspect that where the bills were coming from was going to be a bigger surprise than actually finding them in the closet.
As it turns out, the boy had been sending out, via E-mail, a type of "Report" to other E-mail addresses that he obtained off the Internet.
Everyday after school for the past 2 months, he had been doing this on his computer in his bedroom.
"I just got an E-mail one day and I figured what the heck, I put my name on it like the instructions said and I started sending it out", says the 15-year-old.
The E-mail letter he received had 5 names and addresses listed on it and contained instructions on how to send one $5 dollar bill to each person on the list.
Then delete the name and address at the bottom of the list (Report # 5) and move the other 4 names and addresses down one step,
finally adding your own name and address to the top of the list (Report # 1).
The letter goes on to state that you would receive several thousand dollars in five-dollar bills within 2 weeks
if you sent out the letter with your name and address at the top of the 5-address list.
"I get junk E-mail all the time, and really did not think it was going to work", the boy continues.
Within the first few days of sending out the E-mail,
the Post Office Box that his parents had gotten him for his video-game magazine subscriptions began to fill up
not with magazines, but envelopes containing $5 bills.
"About a week later I rode my bike down to the post office and my
Post Office Box had 1 magazine and about 300 envelopes stuffed in it."
Over the next few weeks, the boy continued sending out the E-mail.
"The five dollar bills just kept coming in and I just kept sorting them and stashing them in the closet,
I barely had time for my homework". He had also been riding his bike to several of the banks in his area
and exchanging the $5 bills for twenties, fifties and hundreds.
"I didn't want the banks to get suspicious so I kept riding to different banks with like five thousand at a time in my backpack.
I would usually tell the lady at the bank counter that my dad had sent me in to exchange the bills and he was outside waiting for me.
One time the lady gave me a really strange look and told me that she would not be able to do it for me and my dad would have to come in and do it,
but I just rode to the next bank down the street (laughs)."
Surprisingly, the boy did not have any reason to be afraid.
The reporting news team examined and investigated the so-called "chain-letter" the boy was sending out and found
that it was not a chain-letter at all. In fact, it was completely lawful according to United States Postal and Lottery Laws
which state; a product or service must be exchanged for funds received.
Every five-dollar bill that he received contained a little note that read, "Please send me report number xyz".
This simple note made the letter lawful because he was exchanging a service (A Report on how-to do something) for a five-dollar fee.
It's true. The boy legitimately earned $71,000.
You should print this, read it and read it again and again if necessary.
Then follow the simple instructions. You too could make $71,000 and much much more.
This program has gained such respectability and it is working so well, that many people are now entering the program for a second and third time.
Some are reporting they are earning enough money to give up their jobs and they are spending just a few hours a day sending out e-mails.
======================================…
INSTRUCTIONS ON WHAT TO DO:
Some people will perceive this as an "off the wall" idea to make
money, but others will look at it as a great
business opportunity. This by far is the safest, most risk free
opportunity you will find to start your own
business because you use Paypal, the most trusted banking system on
the internet. Not only is this an
opportunity to gain financial freedom, but you will help others do
the same as they help you. A basic
principal that has been forgotten about - Giving to one another.
This is a very simple opportunity. This is an even simpler automated way to make money that does not require opening mail, only a Paypal account.
Create a Paypal account for free.
Give six people $1.00. (Paypal IDs are listed below.)
Post this opportunity to others on the internet.
Other people create a Paypal account for free.
Thousands of people give you $1.00 to be put on your mailing list.
(Once you add your Paypal ID.)
If we all work together everyone will benefit.
Here's how!
Paypal verifies that this $6 investment program is 100% legal and is
a big hit this year
see their note below or ask them directly…
For a simple investment of 15-30 minutes and just $6, it is 100%
worth it to make thousands so quickly.
This is not another scam that takes lots of your hard earned money;
this is a no risk investment that will
make you thousands of dollars very easily and quickly.
From PayPal:
"Dear Member, it has come to our attention that there is a Paypal
opportunity floating around at the
moment you may have heard or seen the $6 opportunity.

questions about this opportunity the

big hit on the internet this year.

bit more information then please see the
attached file that was kindly donated to us.
Thank you for using PayPal!"
Turn $6 into $15,000 in only 30 days…heres how! You have most
likely seen or heard about this project
on TV programs such as 20/20 and Oprah, or you may have read about
it in the Wall Street Journal.
If not, here it is below - revealed to you in step-by-step detail.
This program is by no means new.
It has been in existence in many forms for at least a decade.
I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it:
Make Money with your Paypal account as shown on Oprah!
IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not
illegal; and it is virtually no risk-it really works! If
all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
extraordinary dividends.
AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE:
Follow these directions EXACTLY, and $20,000 or more can be yours in
4 to 6 weeks.
This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity
of the participants.
Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the
instructions.
A FEW LEGAL TIPS:
You are starting a Mailing List
File your responses alphabetically everyday. If you have a computer,
all the better, if not get one
with your first mail responses.
You will soon compile an extensive mailing list. It can be very
useful in your business, to start a new
business, or for other businesses to acquire information from you.
When you send out these letters, you are in the mail order business.
People are sending you $1.00
to be put on your mailing list. This is a legal helpful service.
Once again see Title,
section 1302 and 1341 of the US Postal and lottery laws.
Here are the 4 easy steps to success:
STEP 1:
