I really like your web log and would appreciate some advice from you. I also have a web log and believe that I have good things to share with people through my articles and messages. But I wonder how I might increase traffic to the site. Any advice on how I can do this? Any counsel you can provide would be great!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

There are a number of things that people can do that will certainly bring more traffic. A while back Jollyblogger<\/a> posted on this subject, and Diva Marketing<\/a> also gives some good advice, and both posts link to other useful articles. I will highlight my own top ten things to do that are guaranteed to help bring you more traffic and are easy to carry out.
\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ensure your site is listed at google<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Turn on individual post pages<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Ensure that each post page has a unique title <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Make your post titles into active links that direct you to the permalink<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. List an XML feed, and preferably NOT only an Atom one.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Have a blogroll where you promote other blogs (you scratch my back, I\u2019ll scratch yours) www.blogrolling.com<\/a> offer a great service for this.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Join every list of blogs<\/a> you can find. This would definitely include the Blog Carnivals<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
  8. If you are a God Blogger, join Blogs4God<\/a>, the Blogdom of God<\/a>, the evangelical aggregator<\/a> and the reformed aggregator<\/a> (if you qualify!)<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Visit other blogs, comment on them on their site and mention them on your site<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. Post great material on your blog and the readers will come!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
