Bring In More Traffic To Your Blog

September 19th, 2007

I just found this Blog syndication tool the other day and thought I would share it with the world. Blogrush is basically a widget that you can install on your blog and will show other people’s blogs on it.

Sounds like it may bring in some traffic if Blogrush actually has enough users signed up. I haven’t actually tested it out yet, but will be trying it out on a different website. Visit the Blogrush website to learn more. They have a video that explains it much better than I have. If you’ve tried it out, let me know how much, or little, success you have had.

Many people believe other meta tags are important but testing has proven that they don’t do anything to help your website. Here is the basic template that I use:

<head>
<title>Enter Page Title Here</title>
<meta name=”description” content=”This shows up in the search engine listings. Catch the searchers attention.” />
<meta name=”keywords” content=”Keyword, Keywords, etc.” />
</head>
