Kiggavik's point about blog carnivals is a great one- even if your blog isn't targeted at a specific niche, you may have individual posts that could be submitted to carnivals within certain niches. Controversy works well too, but that can be a dangerous road to go down! <BR/><BR/>And to keep readers coming back, make sure they have a way to subscribe to site updates through something like Feedburner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-18926779588247342232008-11-28T10:52:00.000-05:002008-11-28T10:52:00.000-05:00I have found that causing ridiculous controversy a...I have found that causing ridiculous controversy and getting the local newspaper to feature an article about the pre-marital sex you had, and your beliefs about abortion really helps. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-11351333536706688932008-11-28T00:07:00.000-05:002008-11-28T00:07:00.000-05:00great post. i hv no advice, you pretty much covere...great post. i hv no advice, you pretty much covered everything though in keyword sense, something funny cropped up on my admin site. its someone or maybe a few people did a search on "my kid watch me like a hawk". it was on my blog and there was about 15 hits to the same post. i thought that was hilarious.Aidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13554795865874702432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-47487110271969588932008-11-27T23:47:00.000-05:002008-11-27T23:47:00.000-05:00Participating and hosting carnivals is a good way ...Participating and hosting carnivals is a good way of attracting readership, especially if you have a more topic specific blog. I find commenting on other's blogs tends to spike my stats a little. Just another way of putting yourself out there.<BR/><BR/>The guys at 10000 Birds (admittedly a specific interest blog) have done a lot of thinking on how to increase traffic.
