My blog is about dual and multiscreen systems, I have created a space in my right column to display the readers PC's. We will see how this works out. It might suck, it might be wildly successful. It will undoubtedly be educational for myself. creating a place in my blog that is interactive to my readers, or more specifically making my blog more interactive makes it more interesting, I think.

Some people just want free information and are not prepared to pay for products. Is the Google keyword tool accurate? I have my doubts at times.

I remember when I first put a site up back in 2002, I woke up the next morning and expected that people would have magically visited overnight! Much to my surprise, I realized that I would actually have to work at it for awhile! I've found that sharing links, generating good contact, and taking real-world offline techniques to the web work: put up a free classified at the grocery store or gas station with your URL and what your site offers. People will find you - there are lots of people interested in getting online and making money. Thanks for the awesome site! Driving traffic to my site used to drive me insane.

We're all obviously aware of days that spike our traffic or posts that generate more comments than others. But, how often do we really think about the specific details of what made that happen, then figure out how to repeat the act. Thanks for this.

Nobody wants to acknowledge that, but most of the time your content just isn't good enough. You're not connecting with your audience. You're not giving them what they can't live without. Your writing has no voice, no personality. You're not solving problems or entertaining people enough. Your headlines are lame. The only "outside" force to be concerned about is maybe having a small network to spread your content to. But even that is fixed by having content which people will want to spread, because that's how your network grows. It all comes back to what you're saying, and how you're saying it.

The nature of blogging is like building a library where you write all the books. It takes times, but people will eventually find items of interest. There will be some dullards on the shelves, but every once in awhile you'll write something that becomes a best-seller. The process has to start from that desire to want to provide something valuable and long-lasting to your readership. Darren...

That never happens in real life! Your best shot is just to work hard and smart, and not only wait for opportunities but MAKE them. This post was really insightful. The sharing idea is always a great one that's why I already included an iShare blog in my website. However it hasn't picked up yet because I haven't had time to work on it well. Sharing shots seem to be very viral, but that's easy for you when "photography" is your topic. People usually love to show off stuff they love and I support that. That said, not all topics have room for sharing fun stuff that would go viral. Like my blog is mainly business-related with a fun twist, and the audience I target is much different than one who has the time to answer challenges (that's something I know works well because I tried it in my classes and the students responded beautifully). I guess this is going to require a bit of a creative vision on my sight to work out something. Thanks for the knowledge!
