Writing a good post is almost like an art, and a paradox; a good post should be short, but it should also be descriptive. It should link to an intriguing page yet be appealing to a wide range of readers. You should express your opinion in the post, but not let it completely bias the post. And if you manage to do all of this, the chances are that you won't even be thanked.

I'd also say having friends who will point your way when you deliver "the value" is a great way of developing audience (friends of friends).

Tucked away in our nike air max 2010 mens running shoes subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long nike air max 2010 trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out air max 2009 windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at nike red air max 2009 crossing, of cattle grazing on air max 95 black distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon nike air 95 row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling air max 90 hillsides, of city skylines and village halls. But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain blue air max 90 for women day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags nike air max 180 waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our black nike air max shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, bing the minutes for nike air max light shoes loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for womens nike air max station.Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one air max ltd classic place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of air max shoes store life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. In stead, climb more nike air max white mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more women air max shoes sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come men air max shoes soon enough.

Great, I was looking for the AddThis button.
What's your take on tags? And where (tagging as an option seems to be everywhere)?

Thanks,

I shouldn't say I don't like Digg. It just doesn't do much for me overall.

great information in this article.

have you tried to set up a facebook group for your media properties? just curious about the effectiveness of that ...

also, I don't want to bag on digg, but I tend to agree. If you get the right eyeballs and some of those people stay, it's good ... but every time I get a digg wave, my page views flatten out to approach unique visitors, my google cpm lowers, and comment quality drops. Conversely, the stumbleupon waves I've received have been the complete opposite.

Some great adds in here. I forgot mentioning MyBlogLog, which I like for a community tool. Thanks, Jeff and Jason for mentioning it.

Jason also mentioned using Facebook and some of those other apps as a place to remind people of your links. I do that all the time. Great pointer.

Colin- lots to think about there. I think it's good that you're thinking about what to add to the conversation. There's lots out there, so I'm sure you'll find your passion, and discover whether it's got legs as a topic.

Thanks everyone!

Chris,

Great post. Some very useful tips there.

At the end of 2007 I decided that I was going to be a lot more focused with my blog and devote some real effort to driving traffic toward it and ensuring that there was enough decent content to warrant coming back.

Then a few days ago I came up with my new strategy which does include a number of the objects you have listed here.

I host my own blog within SharePoint so a lot of the community tools aren't designed to work with it. As such, I have to do things like generate my own links to sites such as Digg, reddit etc.

Rather shamelessly I am currently submitting my own posts to Digg, reddit and StumbleUpon (I may add some more over the next few days) and, considering that mine is a low volume blog, the results have been encouraging: 59 referrals from Digg in 4 days, 26 from reddit. If even a small percentage decide they like what they read and subscribe then I'll consider it a success.

I use Twitter to converse with some people I already know and hopefully start conversations with new people (Twitter was how I came across yourself). Like many, I am also using Twitter to post the links to posts.

I don't think that a lot of blog directories are worth joining as you can just get lost in the noise but one place I have joined is Zimbio due to the way it is divided up in to subject specific "wikizines" that are created by the users. This has also prompted some referrals and they all help.

One thing I always make sure of is that (where possible) any link within my site (even if it's pointing to one of my own pages) opens in a new window or tab. It's hard enough getting people there without clicking away and possibly not finish what they were reading!

It's interesting to read both your and Kyle's (in the comments) thoughts on Facebook. I'm on there but don't use it as I think it's grossly over-rated, has had it's day and that it's hard to get past a lot of the noise in order to get to the signal. I may have to rethink things but it all depends how much of the clutter I can filter out and prevent from appearing on my page.

I've often toyed with the idea of a pod or vidcast but suffer from that fundamentral problem - what to say? I'm just managing to sort out a decent signal to noise ration on my blog so maybe I could just replicate to a degree to offer choice as to how to consume my material. Just thinking aloud.

Anyway, love the blog and will no doubt be tweeting at you from time to time.

I came via Twitter, but it just made me come faster -- i would have come here eventually.

I always add new blogs to blog directories to get some links to them quickly, so the search engines find them and are happy.

Don't think anyone gets more than negligible traffic from blog directories -- do you use them to look up blog? I may have once or twice.

How about a list of ways to promote your projects to the offline 0.0 world? Probably a whole 'nother article. I should probably should go write that.

Chris, great list and reminders, particularly around the auto-sig in emails...lately I've seen them getting very long.

StumbleUpon has quickly become the #2 referring site for my blog, so I'm a big fan :)

But I've also found that people posting the entries into their Facebook profile has a tremendous impact on not only traffic, but driving engaged readers who reach out to me either through the blog or through the social network.

If it's a videoblog, set up channels at all the most popular video services and upload each episode to those.

There's also itunes which makes the videos available for download on ipods and iphones.

Think of these services as distribution channels or syndication points, like in offline TV when a show gets syndicated.

One thing to remember when uploading the videos and setting up your channels is to describe the subject matter of each one in ehough detail to allow for easy discovery of your content on the networks.
