    Nice list. Are these in any order - i.e. the first one is the best technique and brings the most traffic?

    Or is this just a randomly ordered list?

    just go to the wordpress.com website and follow the directions. You can either set up a selfhosted one or just use theirs. Either way its very easy/user friendly.

    Wordpress.com domains are alright for blogs that you don't plan on making money with.

    Wordpress.com will shut your blog down in a heartbeat if you promote any affiliate products or link to too many other sites.

    Host a Wordpress blog on your own domain. That's the best way to do things.

    Totally agree. A lot of duplicate techniques.
