You've got your Blog up and running, you've been making
posts regularly…but your "Hit Counter" says you're not
getting much traffic!
What else can you do to increase the number of visitors to
your Blog.
Here are some ideas:
Start your own "Wikizine".
How?
Add Your Blog to Zimbio!
What is Zimbio all about? you might ask:
Zimbio offers thousands of "wikizines" about a wide range
of topics, covering both popular culture and special
interests.
"Wikizines" are interactive magazines that anyone can
create or edit. They're a mix of technology, mainstream
media, and participatory journalism - so people can either
check out the best stuff that other folks posted about a
topic, or they can add articles, pictures, or videos
themselves.
Zimbio helps you Syndicate Your Blog…reach a wider
audience and promote your website. It's a community site
where you can research and learn about whatever interests
you.
How will Zimbio help your Blog?
You'll be able to create your own "wikizines" and post your
blog articles to it. More exposure equals more traffic.
How do you get started?
Go to "Zimbio.com" and register. You'll be forwarded to a
webpage that says:
"Welcome to Zimbio! Enter your blog URL and we'll do the
rest."
Once you add your blog URL to your profile and select
"Promote My Blog" then Zimbio will automatically post your
articles to related wikizines.
And now the fun part begins because you get to create (if
you choose) your own very professional new wikizine site
devoted to the topics you have chosen.
My "wikizine" is called "Critical Steps to Online Success"
and I cover Internet Marketing, Network Marketing and
Affiliate Marketing.
Once you have your Wikizine up and running you just go to
your "dashboard" and start adding articles from your blog.
Time to get started?…what will your wikizine deal with?...

Critical Steps to Online Success -Getting Blog Traffic--"Ping" your Blog.
So you've published your 5 articles on your blog and
you're waiting for results…but nothing seems to be happening…
First Question: Do you have a "Hit Counter" on your Blog?"
If you can't measure the "hits" to your site, how can you
know what's going on? You can get a hit counter by Googling
the term "Add a Hit Counter to your Blog".
If you are using Blogger.com then just go to their Help
menu and you'll find directions. Now you can see how many
visitors you're getting, you can start to add some traffic
generation add-ons to your Blog.
The first and easiest thing you will want to do is to add
a new post every day and then update your Blog on all of
the major Search Engines.
The easiest way to do this is to "Ping" your Blog every
time you update it with new material. Pinging simply
notifies from 10 to 50 or so of the top search engines that
there is new material on your blog and increases the likely
hood that their "spiders" will visit. (Spiders are the
little routines operated by the search engines that run
around on the web searching and indexing all of the sites
for SEO relevancy).
This is a good thing-you can't get your
site indexed until you have a visit from the spiders and to
maintain your ranking you need new material to keep them
coming back.
To "Ping" you Blog you simply register with the Ping
services, select the sites you want to have pinged and
press "ping".
And Bingo…you're starting to become visible on the web.
Here are some of the top Ping engines:
Ping-o-Matic: pingomatic.com
Pingoat: pingoat.com
Technorati: technorati.com/ping
King Ping: kping.com/
For all that, it would seem that Ping-o-matic is the most
popular and gets the job done. But if you're trying to
squeeze more traffic then these others may help. I haven't
done enough testing to have a definitive answer for you.
Keep on winning

Critical Steps to Online Success--So I've got my Blog…What Now?
What about that Blog…pretty exciting, huh?
There you are live on the net for everyone to read. I must
admit I felt a twinge of embarrassment when I realized how
visible I could become.
As I said in an earlier article, make good use of your
blog. You control the publication here. You are the one who
approves the submissions. Turn your Blog posts into emails
to your list and into articles if there's enough meat on
them. Post your emails on your Blog.
Your next step is to begin to post all of your articles,
one by one, to your Blog. Don't worry about formatting or
fonts or anything like that for now. Just get the content
posted. Newsletter and Ezine editors will begin to pick up
your articles from your Blog and your Blog traffic will
grow, very slowly but steadily.
And put a hit counter on your blog-you'll want to be able
to measure the traffic.
Go to your Help menu, select the Help Center, scroll down
the page to Advanced Use and choose Add-ons. At the top of
that menu will be "Hit Counter and Statistics" which takes
you to a page of hit counters.
I use "Bravenet"-it's free and they provide a
comprehensive array of stats about you Blog visitors. Go to
their site and grab the code to attach to your blog. Just
copy it to the clipboard. Then go to your Blog and open the
Dashboard, select Layout and then "Add a Page Element".
Now Find the link for 'HTML/Javascript' and click on the
'Add to Blog' link to access the text field. Then just
paste the code into the content box, enter "Hit Counter" in
the title box and "Save Changes". The hit counter will now
show up at the top of your Blog page.
That's it…you're live with your very own Blog. Just keep
on posting…every day is best! Keep on Winning
