I've found a direct correlation between # of pics and # of visits, even on fun runs.<BR/><BR/>2) Mention all the people you meet. If they like what you wrote, they will send people to read it.<BR/><BR/>3) Get to know Feedburner (those "link to My Yahoo" buttons on the right) so people can easily subscribe to your posts.<BR/><BR/>4) Ask Stan Jensen to add you to run100s.com. I still get a lot of ultrarunner traffic from him. <BR/><BR/>5) Visit other blogs, leave comments of encouragement, and link to their stories. Particularly if you do a race write up and they did too.<BR/><BR/>6) Share your lessons learned. I get the best comments when I talk about the things I screwed up (food, hydration, taping, etc.).<BR/><BR/>7) There are lots of fancy Web 2.0 ways to get your blog noticed (digg, delicious, etc.), but nothing beats having somebody start a forum on one of the big running sites (runningtimes.com, letsrun.com, etc.).<BR/><BR/>8) Add yourself the the Running Blog Family directory. <BR/><BR/>And point me to it! <BR/><BR/>Best of luck, Dom. I know it's going to be great.<BR/><BR/>SDScott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-1155865201817475202006-08-17T18:40:00.000-07:002006-08-17T18:40:00.000-07:00cool site Scott.
