I just know that I get a lift from people commenting so I try to give that back. It also doesn't hurt to show your face on blogs here and there so other bloggers get to know you, so to speak.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-40790558428502713642013-10-29T15:01:43.255-07:002013-10-29T15:01:43.255-07:00HI Jiaqi, networking will definitely help to incre...HI Jiaqi, networking will definitely help to increase your traffic. When I've cross posted to forums I get a lot more views. I try to get people to come to the blog rather than post the full text at the forum or wherever. Conversely if I post on another blog I usually post a link on my blog to that post. That way I'm not double dipping.<br /><br />Giving people an opportunity to win something if they follow your blog does get you more followers. So if you have some stuff on hand you're willing to part with or can get a donation of a product, that works pretty well.<br /><br />Glad you enjoy the blog.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-60597190878815863892013-10-29T11:28:35.033-07:002013-10-29T11:28:35.033-07:00You're absolutly right about comments.
