If you aren't Blogging yet, get started! Blogging is a fast and easy way to inform interested parties about your area of expertise. In addition, a big plus of Blogging is that Blog posts are picked up much faster by search engines than new Web pages.

I use and recommend Google's Blogger as an easy to use platform that allows even the most techno challenged to begin and grow a successful Blog. The new Beta Version @ http://beta.blogger.com is even easier to use and allows more customization than the older platform.

Here are some basics you need to consider when working on your Blog:

1. Buy a descriptive domain name and have it point at the Blogger URL for your Blog. This let's you market your Blog as a unique entity while reflecting the tone and intent of your blog. Try something catchy and memorable.
2. Make sure you sign up for all the RSS feed hubs that your target market is probably using. You've probably noticed these graphics, called chicklets, on most Blogs for My Yahoo, Google, My MSN, Newsgator, etc.
3. Check out Feedburner.com as a way to setup your RSS chicklets (those little graphical icons for the various services), services and Pings. Pinging is when you post new content, the various services that check for updated Blog content get Pinged automatically when you update. This Ping notifies these services that there is something new on your Blog. Sort of like search engines for Blogs.
4. Offer the ability to subscribe to your Blog and get posts by e-mail. Some folks just won't make it to your Blog to see what's new -- make it easy for them!
5. When typing your posts, make sure to use a catchy title as that is the first thing folks will see when your updates are posted. You want to create a title that will attract their attention while, if possible, integrating keyword phrases about your main focus.
6. It is very important, especially if you are Blogging for business, that you use proper sentence structure, grammar and check for typos. Blogger has a built-in spell check. Use it!
7. Blog as often as possible and do no hesitate to show your personality! Blogs are expected to be more edgy and visitors actually want to get a an idea of who is behind the type on their screen. The more information, tips and commentary you can add the better. Do your best to post at least 3 times each week to keep your visitors and subscribers interested and coming back for more.

Those are just the basics to get your Blog up and running so that you can use it to cater to current customers, attract new customers and partners and get additional exposure for your business. And, you can have fun in the process by Blogging about what you know best!

About 60 million blogs jostle for attention in cyberspace, and they’re ready to use all available media: there are photo blogs, video blogs, audio blogs or just text blogs on just about any topic under the sun. The hottest topic in town is likely to have jottings first of all on a blog site.

So how do you attract attention to your blog amidst all that bustle. “There are many ways how one can do it. The most important way is to target a niche subject that you are passionate about and write your heart out,” says Kiruba Shankar, a pioneer of sorts in the Indian blogging space. Kiruba works actively to organise bloggers’ summits and unconferences.

He feels that with zillions of general interest blogs around, it’s important to focus on a niche area and do it exceedingly well. “Most of the popular blogs around are blogs that drill down deep on a particular subject,” says Kiruba. Spreading the word around about your blog is important too, and of course, there’s nothing like getting people to visit it and post their comments on it. Kiruba also fees that the URL in your email signature is important. “Get a domain name for your blog and let your email address contain the domain. I’ve done that with kiruba.com and I realise that’s helped me a lot,” he says. Your business card too could have your blog’s URL on it.

And the looks? Most blogs look so plain — that’s the most common comment from web surfers about blogs. But most bloggers think that design is an important part of blogs. “The design of a blog is very important,” says Ganesh APP, a tech blogger. Ganesh, who’s a third-year engineering student, has a blog on robotics, called bothack. Says Ganesh, “It’s great to have good content and usability, but if the design isn’t good people may not come back to your site. Worse still, they may just forget which site it was that they liked.”

Kiruba too agrees that design is very important: “Just like a neat dress makes an impression about a man, a good design for a blog is important. The good news is that there are tons of ready-made free templates that are available. You just need to choose it. There’s simply no excuse for having a bad blog design.”

But it’s necessary to keep the site simple — though that doesn’t mean it has to be plain or drab. A few nice looking elements that immediately get associated with your blog may be a good idea. “A lot like the Google site that has absolutely no clutter and is so easy to navigate,” says Ganesh. Flash-based sites are an absolute no-no and can slow down the site and exasperate visitors.

I have come across an unstoppable internet traffic software program that is coming out called automatic traffic machine. There are only 3 ways to generate traffic on the internet.
1. Buy It.
2. Attract It
3. Steal It
In fact, there is no such thing as a secret. A secret is just something that I know and that you don't know
The real reason you don't get traffic
