    I am currently using youtube and facebook. Other than these methods how can I get more people who are interested in the same thing to my blog? I do post on a few Aquaponics forums so I guess a few may stumble on it from there.

    Guess it would help to provide the link aquaponicbasementgarden.blogspot.com

    I was hoping for a couple suggestions. Did I post this in the wrong area?

    I think you need more text. You have a lot of pictures, but the search engines are looking for rich sources of information so you need to write informative articles.

    My blog is not about aquaponics but the one informative article I have on it brings in readers everyday: http://www.thewildeast.net/news/2009/11/aquaponics-gotta-get-it-in-our-gardens/

    Visit my blog and comment on the aquaponics article and I'll approve your comment. That will give you a link from an informative article on your subject.

    Note how the article on my blog is text rich with a few images.

    I just approved your comment. I found it was marked as spam by Akismet. You'll have to think about that. If you are marked as a spammer, you'll never get a comment on a blog. Take care, be careful and continue with your good work. I love aquaponics, although my system is just pump water from my aquarium into my watering can and putting it on my balcony plants.

    Fish poop is the sh$t!

    Basement hydroponic systems are probably great interest to people who like to grow plants of the illegal variety. Bet if you reached out to their ranks you'd see a sharp spike in visitors to your blog.

    I see what your saying. Not sure I would want to go that route. I have nothing against it but I would prefer to keep it to a food production blog and information site. I am not really willing to go that direction with it.
    I do thank you for the input though.

    Try to post comments on other aquaponic blogs pointing back to your blog. Make the comments relevant, of course.
