Hi, I have started a blog on wild life last month. For popularizing my blog. I have performed the following task- 1. I have submitted my blog to different blog directories 2. Regularly making a post on the blog 3. Pinging once I uploaded the blog using pingoat.com 4. Performing link exchanges with my other blogs. Still I haven't indexed by Google and also getting 6-10 UV per day. Will anybody suggest what is lacking in my part? Moreover do you think this WP theme is quite OK for getting good blog traffic... Please help me...
In my very humble opinion, I would say that the best steps to take in the beginning is social bookmark sites and commenting on similar blogs. I would not recommend buying thousands of links right away as that might look "off" to google. Try and buy indiviual links on related sites with high page ranks (can seem like throwing money away) but it will help to build up your own exposure.
Do many people search for wildlife related terms ? Some keyword research might help you You are, at least from what I can see.
Starting a blog is very hard so don't be surprised if you don't get more than 20 uv per day during the first few months. The only solution is to work hard and create good content for people to read.
exactly.......even i have started my blog like 10 days ago.. n i get anywhere around 20-50 uniques a day..... just continuing posting unique content and hoping for the best
Blogrush works awesome. If you can get approved. I didn't, because they don't like blackhats. But I'd say you've got a good chance.
I'd recommend joining a site like BlogCatalog. You can have your blogs on display there and then add tons of friends daily. Many will want to check out your blog possibly. Also try using social media sites to build networks of target audiences for your blog. BlogRush is another idea, the widget may help bring some visits to you.

When I refreshed it showed about 20 duplicates but now there's just two. My apologies.
your site's indexed...already...in google but change the permalink structure - run a wildlife related contest--big contest more popularity - make feeds full - submit to rss directories and get more feed readers More feed readers => more audience more popularity
</shameless plug> I believe this is about traffic,not design. And while design might help...come on..be crafty at least? Sorry. I'm grumpy in the morning.
Make a connection with other blogs...link exchange,commenting, review...then you'll get free visitors from other blogs..this works for me..
I agree with SuperBlog...MyBlogLog is a great way to expose your blog. Make friends with other bloggers there and they'll support you in return. I've heard the Blog Catalog is also good although I haven't quite investigated that one for myself yet.
