Blogging 101: Increasing blog traffic and more!

As you may or may not have been able to tell, I am new to blogging. Over the past couple of days I have dug through the inter-web trying to figure out ways to increase my blog's popularity (traffic, I guess you would say). Many sites have given me helpful information on how to set-up and run my own blog efficiently. I still haven't received the traffic I want, but I know it's hard to be an overnight success. So, I have compiled a list of my top three favorite blog help sites. I'm not really into making money, which is what these sites advertise. I would just like to have a place to write reviews and talk rock.

1. http://www.problogger.net

This site has tons of information on how to start your own blog. He also has a book, but I'm guessing it's all on the site already...

2. http://tips-for-new-bloggers.blogspot.com

I'm not really all that familiar with html, but this site will give you some tips on how to customize your blog.

3. http://sethgodin.typepad.com

This guy has compiled a list of 56 tips to increase your blog traffic. There are many other lists similar to this one out there, but this one has many points I haven't seen anywhere else.

There will be more rock reviews to come on When Rock Attacks! Be sure to check out previous reviews of Against Me!, Brand New, and the Foo Fighters.

Anybody who takes the time to check out my blog, leave a comment and host their own blog is definitely worth my attention. I enjoy your reviews very much, and I'm linking to you on my blog.

Have a good day.
