Hey! I just started blogging, so no one is really reading it yet. Eventually I'd like for that to change.
How did you get more people to read your blog? Does anyone have any tips?
-
I think one way to increase readership is to just be an active blog reader. Leave comments on other people's blogs. I know that I found quite a few of the blogs that I follow because they left a comment on one of my favorite blogs and I just followed the link to theirs!
-
Networking. Blog plenty, try and have unique content and comment on other blogs. Make blog friends
-
Besides the above comments, link it in the blog thread on WB. Put the link in your profile of whichever sites you are on. Find a community that fits you and get on a blog list. (Stirrup Queens has a huge blogroll of bloggers who have dealt with infertility.)

@Running Elley: that's a great tip, I didn't even think of that. I read a ton of blogs but never comment!! I can definitely work on that.
@blushink: Thanks! I'm hoping to find some interesting things to talk about
@Mrs Green Grass: I forgot about the WB thread! Thanks! I follow your blog but have never commented! I'll get on that

Also, keep SEO (search engine optimization) in mind. I see that you use Blogger, but I know that in Wordpress, there is an "SEO pack" at the bottom where you can insert keywords. So if you blogged about your fertility chart, for example, you could put the keywords "how to chart ovulation." That way it's more likely that readers will find you from Google searches. Of course, with that topic, a ton of other blogs are competing with you in the search engines, so it's all about unique content like @blushink said.

I'm interested in reading the responses to this as well!
-
Post great content and write comments on every post you read on other blogs
-
Every thing already mentioned, plus I link to my posts on Facebook and twitter.
-
Great input everyone! Thanks!
-
@blushink: exactly this!
