Any ideas on how to increase my view count for blog?
-
So I thought of a good idea to create a blog and share how to save money to the world since I have a lot of experience in the category. However, I am having trouble getting views on my new blog I created on Monday, November 10. Any ideas?

There are literally a few THOUSAND tips in the forum on increasing readership. Do a search for “hits” or related terms, or use the forum tag pages.

Definitely lots of tips out there in not only this forum but also just about everywhere.
Here is a snapshot of one way you could approach it, especially for new blogs:
1. Create lots of content (you have 5 posts in the first few days — keep it up!).
2. Engage readers by asking an open-ended question at the end of each post.
3. Respond to comments as appropriate.
4. Reciprocate by commenting on a post on their site.
5. Find other like-niche sites, comment on their posts, and provide content there. -
WordPress has started a Blogging University, and they recently ran a course called Blogging 201: Branding and Growth. The exercises are online so you can catch-up at your own leisure, or keep an eye out (subscribe to the Daily Post) for the next session and go through the class with fellow bloggers.
The Daily Post is also full of information about growing your audience.I hope this will help :)

http://dailypost.wordpress.com/postaday/ebook-grow-traffic/If you want to increase traffic then don’t listen to anyone who professes there are passive ways of doing that. Increasing traffic to a blog is hard work. If you want your blog to rank well in search engine results then that begins with creating and publishing original content posts (not pages) ie. unique content that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet.

These 5 videos introduce how Google discovers, crawls, indexes your site’s pages, and how Google displays them in search results. It also touches lightly upon challenges webmasters and search engines face, such as duplicate content http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/03/22/5google-webmasters-video-tutorials/
If you are using a WordPress.com theme good SEO is a given. However, going beyond the theme what the blogger has done within that structure is worth evaluating. Whether you write informative, persuasive or controversial content learning how search engines work, and how to apply basic SEO to you content will benefit your blog as it will increase traffic from targeted readers. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/10/21/two-seo-videos-for-bloggers/
