Hand a little business card with nothing but your blog address and a catch phrase on it to every human you see. They'll check it out. If your blog is good, they will come back. Biz cards are $70 for 2500 or so full color ones. Printers are a dime a dozen on the web. Go for it! What about traditional promotion?

Anyway, why do you write a blog? To say what other want to hear or to say what you want to say? That's the point, I think. I support the good articles theory to bring traffic to your site.

I'm learning quickly that a niche is important, personally I'm too spread out. Also of course the ever helpful post-post-post. Which life sometimes tries to prevent. The technology behind the blogs, trackback, etc, seems to be getting more powerful, I do wish it was a little more user-friendly, although I'm very impressed with how easy Wordpress is to use.

I had never visited Seth's Blog before. Some of the "56 ways" contradicted themselves but hey that just makes you think about what you want to and not do with your own blog. I've been coming to your site since the beginning of March. It's good, it's informative, on topic and well damn, I just like it! I linked to you from one of my posts called "Name tags and Worth". Feel free to visit my site sometime. It's a plethora of creative mental stimulation with visuals and sometimes you'll even share witness to total meltdown! All in the spirit of being an artist I suppose ;) Cheers! Ok, that was an interesting read. I had never visited Seth’s Blog before.

Just as we decide in the first seven seconds whether we like someone or not, readers quickly give a thumbs up or down based on what they see, followed by how well content is communicated.

Like talking about everything involving sports on a blog, but in one post only talking about the Philadelphia Phillies, and how they're inconsistent.
