Do You Want More Traffic for Your Blog?

I know that is a silly question because there isn't much point in having a blog if no one is reading it.  Unless it is for your own personal use and you don't want anyone else to read it.

But if you want to share what you have to say  then you are going to need readers!  Her is a quick and easy way to get your blog noticed.

It's called Pinging.  If you have a WordPress blog,  each time you create or update a post WordPress will send a notification or Ping to the popular Update Services.  When the Update Services receives the Ping it sends a notice to all the sites that are on their list.  So now people reading sites like Technorati  can find your posts.

So how do you set up this magical Ping process?  It's very easy.

Go to your Dashboard and under Settings select Writing. Scroll down and under Update Services cut and paste the sites below into the box.  One site per line.  Once you've done that, click Save Changes and you're done!

Now every time you add a new post all the services below will be notified and you're on your way to getting more traffic!

If The Blog Builder Guy build your site then you don't have to do anything because that is part of the blog setup service.
