Can some one suggest a more retail slant to getting people to look at blogs. Not other bloggers, but people who might be interested in my art blog and looking at my paintings. Any suggestions on that?
Here is what I have done:
I have my blog on my html newletter that goes out to subscribers once a week.
I have it on my web site
I have it in my signature line for all email that goes out.
I have registered with all the directories and ping services
Thanks,

I am looking forward to a response to Blondheim's question since I share her concern.Originally Posted by blondheim12
When you google your name, does your blog come up and if so on what page? That is the best way to determine how many hits your blog is getting.
Many of the free counters that are being used are inaccurate, and not the best way to judge how popular your blog is.
One way to get more viewers to your blog is through your website. Do you have a link to your blog on your site? Is your site heavily viewed? It all works hand in hand.
The best way to increase visitors to your site is to offer free information or free services.
Hits to you blog mean nothing if you are using your blog to sell art, and most viewers are jusy searching to fulfill the requirements for a blogging search engine. You need qualified hits. i.e. viewers who want to buy art. Better yet, viewers who want to by your art.
If you want to sell art from your blog, try to keep in mind what a blog is.....a chatty daily or weekly journal that lets the potential buyer get to know you as a person, to share your joy at completeing a great work of art, your frustration at trying to put an idea down on canvas, or paper. laugh with you etc... Be human in your blog!!!!
making manual trade-link also helps. besides, commenting on someone else blog usually will be followed up by reciprocal gesture from the owner and his/her friends.

Yes, that is very true.Originally Posted by indoblog
It is extremely time-consuming, though.
It seems that the blogs I leave comments on are largely the blogs of other artists and photographers.
lol
I find the ones giving me the most traffic I have left below, Freeviral gets you millions of hits (so it says) I must admit though I am doing really well with it and have even got quite a lot of subscribers to my site The Guvnor Times. The other is Blogshares, which is a fun way of promoting your blog. Anyway my personal preference is Freeviral, but what ever floats your boat or try both.

Some additional info -- I have found that by listing in a highly active BlogRing or several AND joining a few of the larger site surfing services you can actually AMPLIFY the effect. Especially when you are able to grow your downline users. In the end this is a WIN WIN for everyone. the only drawback I see is it still remains difficult to get folks to comment on your posts when you do this because all they want to do is MAXIMIZE the number of sites they visit in a given period of time... like the post above.
We run a blog ring with over 130+ members and everone on the ring gets to benefit.... see some of the info here [url="http://zardozz.com/blog_traffic_services.htm"]http://zardozz.com/blog_traffic_services.htm[/url]
This is an open invitation to folks at this forum to join since many of you here seem to be looking for an inexpensive way to get visitors to your sites !!!
