Blog views? Making money?

Actually the topic about which you are writing should be intresting , original and unique. And should have proper keywords, so as your blog can come in first two pages of the any search engine. That's the direct way of having viewers to your blog.. I too have a cooking blog, can check out link at my profile page..

You should figure out what your main keywords are and use them whenever you make a blog post. Also ping every post, bookmark them at social bookmarking sites, comment on related blogs and forums leaving a link to your blog, create Squidoo lenses and Hub Pages with links to your blog. All of these things will get you real traffic. Traffic exchanges only get you junk traffic.

Hi there, Blog views is something subjective. I have my own blog too, pointing on world wide recipe but no one had the interest to read it.Then, I create the musical blog by loading some short movies, likewise the Recipe. Being a blogger, we would not know whats the reader interest as people changes mind every second. Probably you might need to find some books or friend who has experience success blogging.

You have to register to some of the social sites like blogcatalog and have some friends their with your fellow bloggers with the same niche as your blog. You can discuss their the different techniques of how to improve your blogs and you can exchange link to each other. By making a lot of active participation in the site your blog will get thousands of views but you have to work hard for it. Traffic is not east to generate,you have to make some important keywords in your meta tags so that search engine traffic can be there in your blog or site. As time goes by if the search engine have already indexed the contents of your site you will have no problem at all by bringing some traffic to your blog.

Sorry to not know the answer, but how do you make money off of blogging? Do you use a special site or something?

sure I would love to check it out and yes I will check it out.

It's all about the tags really and the topic of interest. I have a blog I think almost everyone does on mylot haha.. but yeah I can say it's a little hard getting views and stuff. I think if we all help each other spread news about our blogs. Like Posting links and what not on out blogs or other blogs. then we all van get more views. =] I don't know thats just my opinion

I think you should rather try to develop good relations with other like minded bloggers. many of them also in the same situation as you are. traffic exchanges are useless as their subscribers are there only for the 20-30 seconds view to earn a few points and cents. what you need is some one who reads what you write there and comment on it. such views are worth and helps improve the blog.

hello Thebraggingman It is always difficult to get traffic to blog, I guess it would take time and some more hard work. perhaps you like to tell us what is your blog, I have also start a new blog you can drop by to have a look too. by the way my blog is profitsbuzz.com. I hope to see you there soon
