Help about Blog Kudos

Discussion in 'Blogging' started by kevb8ll, Apr 18, 2009.

    I have recently taken over a blog related to a UK Football team, and I was wondering if anyone could give me tips about increasing the kudos of the site.

    I have a PR of 3 at the moment.

    Thanks

    Kev

    Can't help you without seeing the blog. What do you mean "Kudos"?

    To increase traffic you need to do many things like,
    1. creating incoming links to your blog
    2. Optimizing your site for serach engines
    3. Proper plugins to announce about your site to interested readers
    4. participating in forum ( in your case in soccer forums)

    I'm interested in suggestions 3 and 4. I didn't realise there were plugins to help.

    As far as a forum, did you mean DP or have one on my site? I already have an associated forum.

    My blog is www.joysandsorrows.co.uk

    Hi Kev,

    Joys and Sorrows originally belonged to a DP member- I can't remember who though.

    Are you listed on Newsnow? It is the biggest source of traffic for any football site you could get.

    I think KumarSaran meant going to external football forums, and using your site as your signature to drive some traffic. Submissions to sports oriented sites like Ballhype won't hurt your cause either, but the traffic is more likely to be American there.

    Hi, hello, good evening!

    Yup, used to be mine. I lost motivation for it and Kev kindly agreed to take it over and breathe new life into it. He must now go through the rites of passage on DP as I did! I learnt a lot here.
