Getting Your Blog Gased Up
Blogging June 6th, 2007
Keeping up on this blog entry stuff can be a little tough. You have to realize that this blog is not the center of my attention right now. I have focused the majority of my attention on my HUGE directory project. I have been keeping up with my posts so far and that was my initial goal. Although I have slowly kept the level of posts up I have been reluctant to stick any links out there.
With this in mind I still get a decent amount of readers considering the blog is under a month old. Another thing that surprised me is the amount of feed subscribers I have. To everyone that has stuck with me, I appreciate it. My goal is to provide you with good information but before I get into the good stuff I need to do a little blog comment link building. That’s next on my list.
I have a few blogs I like to visit on a regular basis and I plan on commenting where I feel that I can be of use. By doing this I’m trying to attract like minded readers, not only building links but building readership. Not that there is anything wrong with just building links but by searching for like minded people I will have a better chance of building a readership. At the moment that’s what this blog is all about. After the blog ages a bit I will have to map out more of a link building strategy. Let’s face it, if you have no links you have no traffic.
Right now my focus for this blog is quality content. Let’s start the blog commenting experiment and see what happens with the readership level.

Thanks for the compliment Billy! I am trying to provide some good quality stuff for the folks out there. The last time I checked my subscribers it was below 50. Nothing to brag about but decent for a blog just starting out. I will probably start to post the number when I reach 100+ subscribers.

Hey Chris, I’m kind of new to your website, although I must say your a true inspiration to me. You have a great blog, and I’ve subscribed to your feed. It’s hard to come across good blogs now at days. I hope everything with your directory project goes well. If you ever have time I advise you to stop by my website and look around. www.randlife.com I’ve subscribed to your feed, hopefully you will do the same. Keep up the great work.

[…] Have you invested time into search engine optimization (SEO)? One of the most important aspects of traffic generation on the web is how you optimize your pages for the search engines. Whether it’s learning it yourself or paying a pro, search engine optimization is very important to your traffic stats and can be even more important if you choose to monetize your site. I’m not saying that search engines own the web and that they should be your sole source of traffic, in fact I’ve been avoiding optimization other than for the term “business blogger” up to this point and focusing on content.
