Easy way to get traffic, or not

When I started my 2nd blog, I had already typed up maybe 40 posts in a word file. With my first blog, I wrote day by day. With the 2nd one - no pressure - I always had something to pull from.

I never felt like I had to use the stockpile - many times I would get inspired to write something else, but it's been great knowing it was there for the days when I was bogged down with a million two other things to do.

I like your posts - you have a fun style to read, so maybe if you do this behind the scenes it will be easier for you.

hi j.p.
sounds like a good idea to first determine what you really want to say on your blog. i remember that was in one of yaro's first newsletters. by the way, they are all good and helpful. you will see.
j.p., i am still waiting for your visit + comment. sorry last post has no hawaiian lady but a humpback whale photo!!!!

nancy,
i definitely like your approach of collecting posts before going public with another blog. your blogs show quite some blog experience (great work!). how can you manage that timewise? i am constantly running behind with 2 sites + 1 blog. no co-writers as yaro always recommends.

good luck with your blogs guys. aloha, pua

Here's Sultan_Emerrs Links to getting your site Registered with the Search Engines...


If you hope to get a load of returning visitors, you have to keep updating it with new things that make people want to keep going, and it's gotta look good. The better looking, the more people want to be affiliated with it. Also, make friends, and share links. Join web rings, give the links to your friends who are interested, and an interactive element like a message board, or such, will (if handled correctly) keep people coming back.
