Hi all,

If you have some time, please visit: Learn how to blog for money and let me know what you think. I love to hear comments - good or bad. I've done a lot of that to this point and my site wouldn't be where it is today without great feedback.

Thanks!

Yeah I didn't do a ton of blog research beforehand. I'll admit that I went with Blogger knowing that Google was behind it. So far there's been some hiccups here and there, but all-in-all not too bad.

As far as traffic - I'm shy of just 90 a day according to Google Analytics. Not bad considering my blog is less than three weeks old

that is a great result.. i was doing 100 a day for the last month.. then all my promoting finally paid off and i hit 200 yesterday, and 140 so far today.

That's awesome. I was actually reading your blog earlier about the October earnings - really great stuff there. I'm really going to have to look into the affiliate stuff and get up to speed. But of course my main focus is content and traffic right now.

Congratulations on your early success.

yea..that is what I have been doing so far this month... focusing on getting the numbers in, giving them good content and asking them to subscribe to my blog. As I would love to have 100 subscribers by the end of the month.

Many ways, here's a few off the top of my head:

1.) Network with other bloggers (quality comments on their topics)
2.) Social Networking sites like Digg, Facebook, MySpace, etc
3.) Blog networks like Technorati, MyBlogLog, and BlogCatalog
4.) Contests for your readers
5.) Forums
6.) Google AdWords or the Yahoo Network.

Should I define that quality content means content that is unique, hardly be found in other places and is giving some kind of value to readers?
