Don't laugh... Two days. I was just wondering if there were like keywords or anything like that that would send it to the tops of searches, or anything.

Yeah keywords do tend to send it to the top but no guarantees.

Conspiracy theories is one

Hi, Momma!

I think that you already know that I'm quite well exposed on the Internet.

Please click HERE, HERE and HERE.

Almost everything that you see on the first two or three pages will be about me, and those are just a few of the ways that people might search for me or the services that I can provide for them around where I live.

Now, I have very good reasons for my businesses to be exposed as well as they are on the Internet. I'm not interested in "spilling my guts" "out there" or sharing everything there is about me on the Internet - I just want to get business. It works. I might "spill my guts" some on Ask Me Help Desk, but that's a different story entirely. I'm only known to a few people here by my first and last name. Plus, what I tell people here is going to almost always be about helping them in some way. The sharing of personal experiences might facilitate my doing that.

You're a young lady. That's also something different as far as putting information about you on the Internet.

I can help you to get very exposed on the Internet. However, my first question, and this is probably the most important one is, why do you want to get better exposure on the Internet for your blog or in any other way?

Thanks!

ChihuahuaMomma · Aug 21, 2009, 02:23 PM

Because I want more visitors to my blog. I want it to be popular.

So... if you want to drive a few miles you can come tune my piano.

(Logic tells me there should be a music forum around somewhere. Why didn't I think of that before?)

morgaine300 · Aug 21, 2009, 08:59 PM

I see you've drastically changed it. It looks very Victorian now. I think it works much better. I matches better, reads better, etc. and even somewhat fits your fashion & crafting stuff.

Clough · Aug 21, 2009, 09:03 PM

Hi again, Momma!

Okay, what would you like for people to be searching for in order to find your blog, please?

Thanks!

N0help4u · Aug 21, 2009, 09:07 PM

Yeah that's more what I'm talking about NOW I can READ it!

Hi, morgaine300!

Hey, I didn't know that you are also a musician! That's cool!

In this economy and because of the uncertainty in obtaining work as a self-employed person, I try to get anything that I know I can do well for people advertised in as many free ways that I can.

I would appreciate knowing more about your piano playing sometime. But, that would probably best to be done by starting a new thread.

Thanks!

Fashion, crafting, and thrifting.

ALL DONE! I changed the background, made my own header, and I'm working on my signature right now. I even added a puppy of the day. I found out how to add a messenger, I just have to figure out if I can actually do it.

Opinions? Comments!

Clough · Aug 21, 2009, 11:55 PM

Here's a first, simple thing that you could do, Momma. A lot of email programs give the user the ability to put a signature automatically at the bottom of the email. You might want to put such a signature in your emails. You might write something like the following for your signature.

"If you would like to know more about me and fashion, crafting and thrifting. Please click on the following link to my blog. Thanks!"

At least if you're notifying people automatically in the bottom of your emails, then you are probably going to get a safe audience.

If you would like to target an audience in specifics regions or region, then you need to put keywords into your blog so that will be more likely to happen. If you study some sites where I've placed information, you'll see that I've added certain words at the end of most ads that will come up in searches. I've also carefully worded the ads or websites so that others will find them for that which they're trying to find.

Here's a link to one of the websites that I run. LINK. Please note the keywords that I've used at the bottom.

If you would like for me to show you how to get noticed in searches, usually within minutes of posting something, please let me know. I'll be glad to demonstrate that to you "live".

Thanks!

One more thing. Maybe it's just me, but I think the main font is difficult to read. I looked at the source and looks like that's Georgia. Some of the other stuff used is Trebuchet, Arial and Verdana, and I think one of those would be easier to read. Sans serif stuff is just easier. (I think this might be Verdana here.)

This is Georgia which I think is more difficult.

But I'm sort of partial to this, so I'm going to do all my posts like this from now on and annoy everyone. :p

(Sorry. It's not wise to let me play with fonts.)

Clough · Aug 22, 2009, 01:51 AM

morgaine300, please let go of the mouse and back away from your computer! I think that you've been taking in way too many fonts, tonight! :D

morgaine300 · Aug 22, 2009, 01:52 AM

Clough, wasn't sure where to put this so I picked the Lounge:

ROTFL!

Better than taking in way too much wine. :p

ChihuahuaMomma · Aug 28, 2009, 12:14 AM

So I added the link for my blog to my email, sigs on my forums (including this one), text messages, and update my twitter, myspace, and Facebook every few days with the info. And all three pages contain my link.

My only comments are from one friend.

Is there anything else I can do to get more attention to my blog?

Oh, I also added 20 of my favorite bloggers and I comment on their pages frequently. And I've left my info on their pages.

ChihuahuaMomma · Aug 28, 2009, 12:16 AM

And my content is diverse.

Clough · Sep 9, 2009, 02:34 AM

Hi, Momma!

Are you now getting more traffic to your blog?

Thanks!

ChihuahuaMomma · Sep 9, 2009, 12:33 PM

A little bit more, not much though. Still only one comment from someone that I don't know.

Clough · Sep 9, 2009, 01:42 PM

If you put descriptive words and sentences and a link to your blog on the following sites, I'll bet that you'll get more traffic.
