  Hello,

  I want to maximize WP traffic to my blog in the categories of Poetry and Art. How can I do this, if possible? For example, can I receive hot blogs on my dashboard only in those two categories instead of the random hot blogs of the day, and then contact those blogs for mutual links?

  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There are many good suggestions here:

  How do I get more views and traffic?

  Please note that some bloggers will consider link exchange comments and emails spam and act accordingly.

  I assume hudowen.wordpress.com is the OP’s blog.

  http://hudowen.wordpress.com, yes, thanks. Do I need to add art and poetry as tags in addition to their being categories?

  Don’t duplicated tags and categories. As far as the search engines and such are concerned they look at them as the same, and that is true with the wordpress global tags pages as well.

  I am a novice and not the youngest. My blogs sit there like somewhere in the very deep place which nobody ever visits.

  I tried as I understand to give categories, to write a short summary and absolutely no comments.

  Can anyone help me to actually go on open waters? I do not aim for huge traffic. Simply when some people will comment, start discussion, bring arguments, new topics, it will slowly grow.

  I trully am new in blogs.

  Thanks

  Always try a forum search:

  There are lots of good suggestions there. But first, link your name to your blog, as per instructions in the thread “8 things” at the top of the main forum page.
