While the template does not affect readers who enjoy your blog via RSS feed (unless they click through to the blog), but it really affects any other blog visitor who reads the blog from the web browser. The more unique looking a blog design is, the easier it is to build and a good name that gets you into . If your blog looks like dozens of other , your own blog will not stick out from the crowd and you will lose out on visitors. In the past I have been using free myself. I applied , but it never really separated my blog from others enough to be really unique.

The problem with so many blogs is to find out what is their main specialty. What is the main topic a is writing about? Often there is no way to tell what a blog is about - especially if you enter a blog from an older posting through a search engine listing. The homepage might eventually have a small snippet of text explaining the topic of a blog, but archived articles do not show this normally. Or the blog owner does not even bother at all to tell what his main intent for the blog is. By using a custom blog design this can easily be integrated and helps to make the blog look different from anyone else.

By using a custom header as an example it helps to get the unique look you are looking for. First of all if it is completely unique it makes my blog stick out more. Second it can help you to show what your blog is all about and therefore get people to come back. Make your Blog look unique + make sure your visitors know what your blog is about. Just because they find a (one) posting of your blog that matches their search term, it does not mean that your blog is really of interest to them. But you might be able to catch their interest by pointing out what your blog is really about. If you catch their interest you might gain a new reader that a) comes back to read more from your blog and b) eventually tells others about your great blog.

You have a blog that you can change to suit your own needs without any of the ictions that are imposed by the Wordpress website.

You should allow your customers to blog too. Yes, why not invite some of your customers to write about their experiences in your blog. You may invite them to review one of your products, or ask them to describe their experience dealing with your company. This form of testimonial builds trust between your customers and your company.

It all depends.

Whether or not you should start your own blog depends largely on the use to which you blog will be put. Many s are blogging for strictly social reasons; other use their blogs for productive purpose; and some bloggers manage to combine socializing and being productive in a single blog.

If your intention in starting a blog is to socialize, you will be most successful by creating your blog at one of the high-traffic like MySpace and opening it up for comments so that you can begin a dialog with your readers.

If you want a productive blog, on the other hand, asking yourself why you should start your own blog takes on added importance, because anyone maintaining a productive blog will have to make a commitment of time if he or she expects the blog to succeed.

If you are considering a productive blog, you would do well to steer clear of the social and set yourself up on one of the blog hosting sites like WordPress or Blogger. When you have your blog up and running, you'll no longer need to ask yourself "Why start your own blog when you have an existing website?"

One time consuming aspect of maintaining a blog is that of monitoring the comments posted by your blog's readers. While those fresh contents can keep your blog in the of ' radar, you could end up with some less than desirable blog posts and even get caught in the middle of battles between your viewers.

Blog comments are also often abused by who simply want to plug their own websites, blogs, or . And if you have to spend a great amount of time refereeing warring readers, you'll have that much less time to attend to the marketing aspects of your blog.

If you think you can manage it, create a blog which allows you to interact socially with your readers at the same time you are using it to increase your productivity. Why?

If you want to run with the big dogs in your industry, you will have to find some way of communicating to them that you are ready to do so. Being available to answer their questions on your blog is one way.

If you have a firmly held, defensible, but generally discounted belief regarding your products, leave a few challenging comments on related blogs, with links to you blog so that those who are interested can drop by to argue your point. When they arrive at your blog, lure them to your sales page.

Why start a blog when you already have a website? To socialize, to become more productive, or to become more productive by socializing. Blogs simply function in ways that websites were never meant to!

I've already had several customers implement the blog list with success. But, after implementing each step, getting people to your site isn't always as easy. Without , your list simply won't start growing. A constant flow of visitors to your blog is a key step if want blog readers.

So the question is, how does one get this traffic? I have laid out several techniques I use to get traffic to my own blog. So, here they are:

Articles

Articles are a terrific way to advertise what your blog offers. Write an article every day if you can. Give some free information and teach your readers what kind of information if found at your blog. The article should be at least 600 words. Anything smaller than that usually doesn't get as much attention by readers. If you write much more beyond that, chances are you'll start to bore your readers. Make it long enough, and then give a link to your blog for more information. I use iSnare.com as an easy way to submit articles.

Commenting On Other

If you have a blog, you probably read other blogs. If the blogs you read happen to be similar to your own, simply leave them a nice comment. Maybe you can mention your own blog in the comment, as long as it doesn't give the owner the impression of spam. Also, be sure that you are using your blogs domain name in the . I recommend doing so whenever you post a comment. The blog author might just notice your link and include a link back to your blog in their links, or blogroll as some call it.

Blog s

A blog carnival is an event when one blog will host a carnival. During a carnival, the blog author will write a and will post links to other authors blog entries. Carnivals go on every day at different times. Search around for them and submit to the carnivals relating to your blog post. Submit a well written blog entry to a blog carnival, and soon enough you'll see that boost of blog visitors you've been waiting for.

Products

If you create any type of products online, it only takes a simple message to your customers to come check out your blog for daily updates. The more products the better. I often instruct my customers to visit my blog at some point during the course. This way, they'll pretty much have to visit your blog if they follow the course step by step.

I hope these traffic techniques will help you in your ventures to get that traffic you've been looking forward to. If you're interested, you can visit my personal blog at http://www.aaronbrandon.com.
