New Directions

Alright, given my extremely low blog turn-out, I am trying to think of ways to spice up my blog- life. God, only these days could an idea like that come up. I think it is going to be about Paris Hotspots, reviews, etc... Everywhere I go, everything I try, every bizarre thing I run across, I am going to put it up here. Furthermore, I have no idea how to get connected with other bloggers either, perhaps that is why I have such PATHETIC turnout...hmmm, we will see!!!

Off to brainstorm now!

Ideas for getting traffic that have worked for me:

1) Blogrolling - either by using a service or just hardcoding them into your Blogger template; people see you linking to them, they tend to link to you (yes, some call this 'link whoring', but it usually works), and so it goes...

2) Leave comments *everywhere* linking back to your blog or Blogger profile (preferably not the kind of comments that start or escalate 'flame wars'...)

3) Mention a lot of pop culture type things: celebrities, song lyrics, book titles, etc. -- this will get you the odd random hits from (and raise your profile on) various search engines...

Jennifer--Yes very bizarre.
I will keep checking your blog also.
I think for some blog traffic you could review restaurants and shopping and such.
Like for instance--tell about the last restaurant you loved--what did you eat? I would love to know more interesting things about Paris. I have not visited there for over 3 years. I plan to return someday.

I loved your post about singstar. I had never heard of that before.
Oh and can I ask--how did you find my blog?

Have a good day--Au Revoir!
