Are you just starting out with your blog and trying to figure out how to get people to visit and read your posts? One of the easiest ways to get free or cheap traffic to you site is to submit your posts to the social bookmark sites like StumbleUpon, and Digg. Try this method to boost your blog traffic and see what results you get.
It goes without saying, new content is essential to submission. Social network sites certainly are interested in your new content that you've posted to you site but they only want to hear about it once and they want it fresh. Don't spam the network sites and don't spit out the same old stuff. Make your content of interest and value and people will come to read. Develop a reputation of providing valuable content and you will gain loyal readers and potentially many subscribers too. Aim to post new content daily. If you can manage five new posts a day that would be a great practice for the first month. In 30 days you will have 150 posts! If you can't manage five then try to do four. Okay, three at the least. You're trying to gain traffic and add value to your site so take the time to develop some articles worth your visitor's time.
With every new post you make to your blog, submit the page to the social networks. There are over 30 main social bookmarking sites. To submit each one manually would take time and create a huge headache for you. Here's a shortcut for a good chunk of them. Go to OnlyWire and register for all the social bookmarking sites they are associated with. They are listed individually with a link to go to the individual site registration pages. You only need to do this once for each one, giving a user name and password for each (make it the same if you can) and then you're set. You can now bookmark the "Save Page" (OnlyWire will explain how) for one click social bookmarking. Now, every time you place a new blog post you simply click the Save Page bookmark and a form will appear with the name of the page and the blog post URL filled in. All of the bookmark sites you signed up for will be selected. Just click "Bookmark Page" and your post will be submitted to all of the network sites you registered with.
Aiming for five posts a day, that's five submissions to the network sites a day and 150 social bookmarks for your site every month. If you also submit each of your blog posts as articles to the various article directories you will gain more links back to your site and potentially even more visitors. Keep it up and you can sit back and watch the traffic flow in!
Welcoming a new baby into the family is a wonderful time in a parent's life. It is amazing how something as beautiful as a new baby can actually cause you so much fear and trepidation concerning its arrival. With parenting comes worry and it often starts the moment you learn you are expecting. You can be assured that many well meaning people will offer you tons of parenting tips, but if you keep these three parenting tips in mind, and you will be able to keep some of that worry in its proper perspective.
Face it, there are no perfect parents. You will make mistakes and amazingly your child will survive your mistakes. There will be days when you say the wrong things and even make the wrong decisions. Understanding that you will make a few mistakes, gives you permission to relax and not worry so much about your parenting style or strategy. Understanding that mistakes are inevitable doesn't give you the freedom to throw safety to the wind. Holding your child in your lap instead of placing them in a car seat isn't a mistake. It is a dangerous and illegal action that could take your child's life. A mistake is letting your ten month old play with the remote control to your TV and then spending the next three months trying to reprogram it so you can hear your shows in English once more.
Sure, you want your child to like you, but the harsh reality is that you are your child's parent, not their friend. You have the responsibility of keeping them safe and raising them to be responsible members of society. Sometimes you have to be the bad guy. It isn't fun to be the one to say no or to let a child reap the consequences of their actions, but good parents knows that being a parent means loving your child enough to say no when you have to. This doesn't mean you can't play with your children or have a relationship that is open, honest, and fun. Good parents know how to balance playing with their children without ever giving up their parental authority. Never let your child talk to you, even in play in a way that is disrespectful or rude. It makes it too confusing for a child when their parent constantly switches from friend to parent mode and back again.
There may be days when your child doesn't like you very much, but there will come a day when they love your for raising them with the ability to know right from wrong. There may even come a day when they have kids of their own, that they actually appreciate you! Don't let a day go by without telling your children that you love them. Childhood passes in an instant and the opportunity to tuck them into bed and shower them with hugs and kisses is fleeting at best. Tell your children that you love them each and every day and they will take that knowledge into their adult years.
