    Hi one and all

    I am a regular blogger. I mainly write about personal stuff such as funny stories, memories, fashion, music and rants etc.

    I've networked a little and added some names to my blog role, but it took some time for me to find blogs I genuinely enjoyed.

    Successful networking is important for generating traffic on a blog so on this note, does anyone have any networking tips?

    I find the recommended blogs on wordpress and results from searches to be crap. Google searches are often lousy too.

    Has anyone any networking tips for me?

    Hey,

    I just started up a blog about saving money etc...

    www.artofstinginess.com and I'm already seeing traffic

    We could put a link on one another's sites and maybe do a post to introduce each others sites. That's good networking and because our blogs are in different genres we're sharing traffic - not stealing it. Let me know what you think.

    Send me an e-mail if interested - deansherwin@gmail.com

    Thinking of blogging & have been looking at blogs on a few sites relevant to my interests. The "Experts" recommend regular updates, posts, etc & these bloggers are working their socks off putting stuff up. BUT, very, very few comments & contributions from "onlookers", in fact one blogger must have put up 50 posts & not a single comment!! IS BLOGGING ALL IT'S CRACKED UP TO BE ???? Don't we need to be asking some tough questions on this??

    Blogging is what you make it.

    There are blogs which make 10 posts per day and have the same reader count as a blog which posts once per week. It all comes down to three things:

    #1 (MOST important) Content - if you write great articles that leave the reader buzzing and itching to use that info in real life then you'll get a good following
    #2 Popularity of the niche you're in
    #3 Beign active within the community

    Very few people are cut out for it. That's why over 95% of blogs never make it past the 3 month mark. If you're cut out for it you'll want to blog and as such won't see it as a chore.

    And as a side not - most BIG bloggers only post every few days to give their articles a chance to be read and spread around.
