If your blog has a certain subject it is a good idea to look for forums about that topic. They don't have to be blog forums just as long as they are about or related to your subject.
I placed a link to my blog on a expat forum this week since my blog is a personal blog about being a British expat in Holland. After I did this I saw the amount of visitors I receive suddenly jump. On a good day I was getting 20-30 visits. Just a few hours after placing the post I received 100.

Expatica got me a lot of visitors and Expat focus got me a few too. I'm not sure how many of them will be repeat visitors yet but it got me a lot of exposure which is a good thing.

The banner I made myself but I messed up when putting into my sig but Shawn was kind enough to fix it for me

Yep. They seem to make a point of being rude. I'm tempted to submit my blog just for a laugh to see what they say about it.

I am working with flash web designing as a hobby. If you would like a flash version of your banner, I'd love to try and make one for you, for free of course, to help me in my learning curve with SwishMax. But then, it occcurs to me that an animated banner here might be a tad annoying after a while. However, if you have another site proclaiming the banner, I'd still like to give it a shot. Just a thought.

I'll have a look at it and see what it offers. I've stayed away from SwishZone because it's too difficult to pick up information there. I recently purchased The SwishMax Bible as a tutorial, so I will see how I progress with that. Thanks.

If you want to give it a shot I don't mind I'll have to check on the rules of the forums were I use it though.

I agree, Critique My Blog is a great place to get a review, I did that also. I'm looking forward to one of these days getting an updated review from Blogger Talk, I know that Rose will be honest and straight forward with me.
You have expressed yourself very well in your blog, I enjoyed reading it! |
