Are you constantly blogging but the numbers you see in your traffic logs are embarrassingly low? It can be maddening to check your stats and realize that no one is actually stopping by. Don’t give up yet, because there are four great ways you can get traffic fast.
Traffic Tip #1: Do Your Keyword Research
Many bloggers make the mistake of thinking they can just throw some posts up there and expect to get traffic. There is a lot more to it than that! You need to make sure you are looking at the keyword data to find terms that are getting a lot of searches. Ideally, you want these terms to have low competition so it’s easier for you to rank. Once you start basing your posts around these kinds of keywords you should find that you’re getting a lot more traffic.
Traffic Tip #2: Write Enticing Articles Off-Site
Submitting to article directories isn’t just a good way to get backlinks to your site, it’s also a great way to get readers! Sites like EzineArticles.com have their own readership of people who are looking for the exact topic you’re blogging about. If you write a compelling article that leads into your resource box, people will be enticed to visit your blog.
Traffic Tip #3: Give People a Reason to Come Back
Getting traffic in the first place is one thing, but what you want to do as a blogger is have them coming back over and over again. The best way to do this is to create special offers or exciting events. For example, you can give away a prize each week to the new people who subscribed to your list or your feed. You can also run a contest for people who leave answers as comments on your blog posts. Make your blog a happening place to be and people will want to visit often and tell their friends.
Traffic Tip #4: Create Linkbait
Linkbait is when you write a blog post that is so exciting or controversial it gets people to come to your blog, comment, and link to the post. You may share some shocking news or offer an opinion you know is bound to stir people’s emotions. You do need to have thick skin when you write linkbait! Don’t expect everyone to agree with your opinion.
An example of linkbait is going the opposite way everyone else goes. For instance, imagine you have an electronics blog and you decide to review the iPhone. After reviewing the product you decide you don’t like it. You then write to tell your readers why. Since this was a product everyone was gaga over when it first came out the chances are good you would have gotten a strong reaction right off the bat.
There you have it! These are four solid ways you can start to increase the traffic on your blog as soon as possible. When you put these methods to work you’ll realize that the secrets to getting great traffic were in front of you the whole time.

You can do both blog and upload your photo images for free here. They have very good security for images and blog post. If you set your album or post as private, other user can not see your album's images or post unless you allow them to see it. Best of all, the message and feedback feature allow you to contact your friend or other user directly easily. After you sign up, your URL address will be "username.neigo.com".

Use http://www.blogger.com. You write/blog under a user name, not your real name. Creating a profile with photo and all that is optional. You have to advertise your site if you want people to go to it regularly. You can advertise it on free things MySpace, or related sites that would contain your link (that might not be free).
nja vllt nicht so, schelling ist geil
The blog in itself is not illegal, however you need to be sure the records are legal. Some states allow single party notification of recording phone conversations. Others require two party notification. If the recording was made in a two party state or to a two party state it would be illegal unless notification was given by the person recording the call.
I know that call centers routinely provide notice that the call may be recorded, however since there are many laws and I have not read all of them that may not be sufficient notice if the calling part is recording the call. If I was going to do this I would discuss with a lawyer first.
jaja, scheee iiis wild…nnot scheee goes wild=)
Where you posted the blog, wave your mouse over it and a pop-up should come up with delete.
Inside of blogger you can add your other gmail account to have full access. This will essentially migrate your blog.

This is wicked. I am glad to now know the history of blogs. This was very informative and lovely. Props to the maker.

You are right that you need to write content, but that is not enough. You also need to do some blog promotion to get some initial visitors. If I were you I would sign up for a twitter account and start using it to promote all new posts.
Commenting on other blogs is also a great way to get visitors, because blog comments normally have a back link to your site.
