Welcome to the blogosphere where you must give to get. It takes months of posting frequently to attract viewers who will actually submit comments. The best way to get comments on your own posts is to leave meaningful comments on blogs with similar content to what’s in your own blog. Set a goal of commenting on “X” number of blogs weekly and carry through.
See > http://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-more-views-and-traffic/
Here are 25 basic steps to take to increase traffic to your blog:
1. Structure a reader and search engine blog;
2. In blogging content is king create unique, high quality content so publish fresh content frequently;
3. Learn basic SEO so you can use keywords effectively and apply basic SEO to your headlines, blog and posts;
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the “natural” or un-paid (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results.
4. Make your blog posts look professional;
5. Create at least 4-6 pillar posts and continue to create pillar posts;
Pillar posts are also referred to as flagship content. Pillar posts are comprehensive posts that offer great value to readers as the contents are timeless in nature. They define you as having authority in the niche you blog in.
6. Select and link to appropriate anchor text;
7. Leave meaningful comments on related blogs and encourage comments on your own blog;
8. Develop relationships with other bloggers so you can build a blog readers’ community around your own blog;
9. Support the blog centered communities on related blogs by commenting on them and promoting posts from them;
10. Link to authoritative sources in your posts;
11. Deep link to your earlier related posts in your new posts;
12. Assign appropriate categories and tag your posts with care;
13. Link to related authoritative blogs in your blogroll;
14. Provide RSS feeds for subscribers;
RSS (Rich Site Summary or really simple syndication) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.
15. Having a well designed theme is important, evaluate your theme for effectiveness, and if required, create a new header, make improvements or replace your theme and reduce page loading time;
16. Avoid cluttering your blog with widgets that lack reader value and slow page loading time;
17. Buy your own domain and domain mapping;
18. Verify your blog with the three big search engines.
19. Get organized, use an online to do list by developing a blogging workflow;
20. Join social networks and social media sites like Facebook and use Twitter, Friendfeed and other Free RSS directories to promote your blog posts;
21. Promote your blog through social networks, online groups, and selected directories;
22. Develop a social media time management strategy and stick to it;
23. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival;
24. Become a guest blogger on sites with higher page rank than your own site.
25. Create newsletters and/or ebooks for your subscribers. -
How many comments have you made on other blogs today?
On average, I receive one comment per seven hundred reads. Have you had seven hundred readers yet?
-
I visited your blog. I’m visually challenged and that loud background is so overwhelming I couldn’t focus on your post content. I recommend getting rid of it.
You need to replace that “A topnotch WordPress.com site” Tagline with an effective Tagline that reveals your blog content > Settings > General

timethief, I had change the background…although I do not agree that it was ” Loud “. That is who I am and ” My Peoples “. The topnotch…I do not know how to remove this.
I’ve been Driving Myself Nuts trying to get it off there :( This Lil Indan Girl is Quite New to this Sorta Stuff . Lil Indan isn’t trying to be a ‘ Nuisance ‘ :/
Oh yes, I do have ‘ An About Page ‘, 2 in fact, this is another thing that I do not Understand…On my blog r. hand corner go there & you’ll see that I have 2 pg’s. ??? -
raincoaster, I have had five, three Likes, two Comments. One of those comments did not show????? this has got me lost, I tried to find it…No Can Do. I Gave Up The Ghost. I have made Comments on Others.
-
How many?
Don’t expect a single comment until you’ve had 700 or so readers. You’ve had five.
To find the comments made on your blog, go to Dashboard->Comments and look there. It’s probably in the Spam folder, because most comments made are in fact spam.
-
This is where I had found one of em. Just off of Courosity I went back there, there was nothing there??? I Dunno??? It would be Nice if these Comments didn’t wide up there.
S’pose I can check it out again. -
If they’re spam, that’s where they should go.
I am not visually impaired, but I am with Timethief about that background and text. You have created a design that will drastically decrease the number of reads and comments you get.
You would never buy a book that was that hard to read. Don’t make your readers work harder than you would.
-
There is not a thing Wrong with the Background. I had changed it once from ” My Wolves ” to what I have now. You would say the same thing if I put up ” Dream Catchers ” or ” My Great Grandfather Chief Joseph “, anything to do with My Peoples. How or can I ‘ Enlarge ‘ the Lettering? Is this at all Possible?

What I said had zero to do with First Nations art. Any busy and/or dark colored background reduces blog readability and distracts readers away from reading your content.
Changing fonts on WordPress.com blogs is not a matter of clicking a button. It’s not easy to do at all. These are 3 ways to change fonts on wordpress.com blogs:
(1) Changing font families, colors and size in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page by coding into the HTML (Text) editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/font-size-color/
(2) Changing font colors in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page using the #4 icon (Select text color – change the text color) in Row 2 the Visual editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2
(3) Changing all font families, colors and sizes throughout the whole blog by purchasing an annually renewable Custom Design upgrade and using Typekit Fonts with Staff support. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
Note: A few themes do provide for changing font color in the Blog Title and/or optional Tagline and/or links. In the majority of themes font changes to font families, colors and size in the blog title, tagline, menu, post titles, page titles, categories and tags, widget headings, comments, and links cannot be done without CSS editing.

Lem – La
unch Slaxt Thank You Friend. Others for Many, Many Yrs. have always called us ” Native American Indians “. Una` Yes, I do ” Appreciate ” the way timethief had it :) :) :)I have this HTML was not sure how to use it…I had gotten it from another site, it’s still on my machine. Perhaps if I knew how to use this HTML it might make it a Little Easier for me, maybe?????
-
White text on a bold multi-colored image populated background is nearly impossible to read, no matter the content of either.
Anything behind text should be muted and monochrome.
-
English…Use words this Inda`n Girl can understand, Please. Me no Understand
” monochrome “???
I have not the Slightest Idea what your saying, other than at the beginning.
-
mono chrome
one color
Doesn’t really matter which color as long as it contrasts (is significantly different than) the text.
Examples:
White on black, or black on white.
Dark blue on gray.
Yellow on brown.
Dark green on tan/beige.
-
Question for Staff or the the other posters……
Are nested table backgrounds supported here? One background for borders and another for the body behind the text?
-
If you have any Backgrounds doing with My Peoples, I’ll consider Changing the Background I have up now???
-
The thing is, backgrounds with pictures on them make words difficult to read. You could pick a theme that has a background with a picture but the actual posts have a white or dark background.
-
coaster, you just gave me an idea for a Background. I’ll be working on that a little later.
-
I have my New Background done and it is Up. I do hope that you
approve/like this one, my writings are easier to Read and See now.There is nothing ” Loud ” about this one ither…
