Whether you are a newbie or an experienced blogger, sometimes comments on your posts can run a little low. In fact, you may have some blog posts that don’t have any comments at all.

Pretty disgusting thought isn’t it? I know it is, but guess what some of you have blog traffic that smells just as bad. But that’s ok, I am going to give you some tips that are going to help you out with that.

A lot of people don’t understand this, but you can’t start a blog and expect people to flock to it just because you put up a couple of posts.  If you thought this is how it worked, then you have sadly mistaken. Here are some easy ways to generate traffic:

Article Marketing – with article marketing you can simply write an article in your niche and link to your related blog posts, or you could include a description and link to your blog in your article’s resource box.

Social Networking – I have found this to be one of the easiest ways to drive traffic to my blogs. And Twitter should definitely be in your list of networks. Share links to your posts in your updates, tell your friends to visit your blog, and take the  time to network with people in your niche.

1. Failing to learn as much as possible about your audience. It is extremely important that you learn everything that you possibly can about your readers, because if you don’t it will be like you shooting in the dark. And trust me, the results won’t be good. Learning your audience will tell you what they are interested in, give you clues on how to reach them, give you a great resource for learning how to keep their attention, and so much more. Don’t be lazy and don’t do your research, you will pay in the end if you do.

Am I a victim of information overload? I have been quite a few times, and I’m sure you have probably experienced it before as well. See, I refer to myself as an information junkie that can never learn enough and I think that has everything to do with what I was taught as a child – “there is no such thing as learning too much!”

That’s a bunch of crap! There is a such thing as learning too much and I have the migraine to prove it lol. It is often my problem, that my mind never stops racing when it comes to creative ideas for articles, blog posts, info products, etc. I mean I never have a chance to complete one thought before another pops in my head.

The things about words is that they have an power that a lot of people have yet to learn how to use. Words can evoke emotion in a person, persuade a person’s opinion or decision making,, and can even result in a sale. If that’s not power then I don’t know what is!

Here are some power words that you should use in your sales copy:

1. Secret(s) – who doesn’t like secrets? This word makes your customers feel like they are about to learn something that no one else knows, which plays on their curiosity.

2. Discover - gives your readers the feeling that they are about to get information that other people haven’t had a chance to get yet.

3. Guarantee - gives your customer the security in knowing that they have protection if a product that turns out not to be as expected.

4. Profits/Money/Cash – are words that translate into the thought of money that your customer can put into their pocket.

Ladies and gentlemen, things have really been rough these last couple of days. It started about three days ago when I tried to export an XML file for my blog. For those of you that don’t know, an XML file is created when you want to export your blog posts to transfer to another website, or if you want to back up your blog posts. Well when I attempted to do this, it didn’t work. It was as if the export button in WordPress didn’t work. So I just left it alone.

The next day I logged into my control panel to post some new topics and all of my previous blog posts were gone. It was a little more than 500 post that had absolutely vanished. I was horrified, because things had been going so well up until then. After doing some checking around I noticed that my categories and comments were still there, so I figured it was just a server problem.

I then called up my hosting company to see what the problem was and a lady in technical support offered to help me fix the issue. After about 30 minutes the lady told me that all of the people that was hosting websites on the server lost their files as well because of a faulty server, and there was no way of recovering my blog posts without the XML file. And to make it even better she closed out by saying…

“I’m Sorry, is there anything else I can do for you?”

What!? Are you serious!? I just lost my entire blog from some error with your company, and you shrug it off by saying I’m sorry. That just does not cut it for me. I mean I have been a customer for almost 2 years now, I pay monthly like everybody else and they have no way to rectify the problem? What happened to the premium service I was promised when signing up?

Ok, I may just be speaking out of anger, but it just seems to me that they could have done more. But regardless, the show must go on! So for all of my readers out there that are being patient with me at this time, I truly appreciate you and apologize for the inconvenience. And so, it is now time that I get back to work with this damage control mission.
