    Hey, everyone! ;)

    I have been participating in Digital Point for a month or so and I really like this site. Since I often read articles about promoting techniques and test the tips, I would like to share the results that are based on my own experience. I really hope you will find them useful.

    So, here's the first article:

    Lately, I have been to a number of forums and blogs in order to meet new people and exchange links. I participated in various threads and left many comments, mainly in the About blogs niche. And that is where I met people, who were complaining about lack of progress in their blogs.

    Since there was a large amount of message like "I am blogging about interesting things, but there are still no visitors", I decided to check out what was the problem.

    Every response to such a complaint was about SEO (Search Engine Optimization), choosing right keywords, participation in social networks etc. In other words, all of the advices were related to an advanced theme, Techniques for building traffic. Yet, the complaints did not stop appearing.

    So, I decided to spend some time and visit such sites. I figured out that there was one common thing or it is better to say feature, missing to them - Blog base.

    In order to make it more understandable, let me compare blogging to building a skyscraper. No matter how high the skyscraper is and what it has inside, there is one thing that is paid attention the most - it is a base. If you make a mistake in preparing the basement, then no matter how beautiful and stable the upper floors are, such a skyscraper will eventually fall down.

    The same concept works in blogging. Before you even start thinking about visitors, you must have a base for them. In other words, you must have a large amount of an interesting content already written and posted. When I started my blog, I spent three months writing articles about the main theme of my blog, technology. And only when I made 100 posts, I started to build traffic.

    I hope that you liked this "huge" tip and if not, please leave a comment with the reason.

    I guess that's the reason why many people prefer to buy ready sites, instead of spending their own free time on adding articles. :)
