Getting people to visit blog.
-
Ok so I just made a brand new blog and I have noticed that as of yet there have been absolutely no visitors to it. However while on this wordpress website I saw lots of other peoples blog popping up and that they were getting lots of hits and comments.
How can I get this to happen for me?
Yes I already saw in the FAQ that in order for you blog to get notoriety that you will have to email/msg the link of your blog to your friends and other people that you know.
I guess I had kind of assumed that the wordpress.com thing was sort of a community and that people could scroll through the latest posted blogs and see mine as I had just recently posted it. Is it this way or?
Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

You could start by linking your name to your blog:
Go into your dashboard -> users -> your profile -> then scroll down to ‘contact info’. In the spot where it says ‘website’ fill in the address of your blog and save the changes.Are you using tags and categories on your posts?

On WordPress.com alone there are millions of blogs hosted, and almost 1/3 of a million new blogs were started last month. It’s a charming thought, but alas it’s unrealistic to assume that you’ll be visited by some kind of “welcome wagon” who routinely greet new bloggers. Your best bet is to post good content, and then to rely on the search engines to generate hits from visitors interested in what you’re saying.

You could also post a link in here so anyone reading this might stop by and give you some traffic. ;)

I tried putting your name in the search and nothing came up.I imagine it’s a trial and error thing.I will add my link here and perhaps you could check me out that way I can get back to you….

Ok will heres the link if any of you guys wanted to check it out and maybe give me some feedback. Yes I know you dont have to, but I would appreciate it.

I had been kind of wondering if it was too many pictures. The pictures seem to be so overwhelming that it takes away from the text. What do you guys think?

Hi there! I just recently started my blog on my experiences with bipolar disorder. I’ve had almost no response from other blogger, and wish that I could get some people to read my stuff and give me some sort of feedback. Is this the way to get that started? I’d appreciate any advice or help!

Promote your blog through out your social networks. Myspace, Facebook e.t.c And submit it to social news websites like StumbleUpon that way you will get more visitors. Comment on other peoples blog posts who have similar interests that way they may link to you?

I get a lot of traffic from Facebook and Twitter. I link the two together, so when I update twitter letting people know I have a new blog out there it automatically updates Facebook.
