    Put good and unique content on it. Try to advertise it on adwords/ppc programs. Put Feeds on it, as technorati and feedburner.

    Also, exchange links with other bloggers... and have fun on posting and updating it very often.

    A Seo politics is also good to improve it pr/visits from se's .

    Best Regards

    You can try and get something onto the front page of digg. Three days after launching my blog someone posted it at digg and it made it to the front page. 1000 diggs and two weeks later I had over 100,000 hits as a direct result of either digg, or someone linking to me because they had seen it on digg.

    I just had my one month anniversary and the day afterwoods my 200,000th hit, and without question the bigest factor was the nice person who posted my blog on digg.

    Quality Content and massive backlinks.

    That's the rule you need to live by for a successful blog.

    That, and reading my blog :)

    For a photo blog, I think it will be a good idea to put your photos on flickr. It might help bring traffic to the blog.

    Thanks for the PM :)

    I wasn't aware that there were photo blogs. I've been learning that personal blogs don't get read. Is that true? Would it be a waste of time to submit a personal blog to directories? Would a photo blog also be considered a personal blog?

    Here's Sultan_Emerrs Links to getting your site Registered with the Search Engines...


    If you hope to get a load of returning visitors, you have to keep updating it with new things that make people want to keep going, and it's gotta look good. The better looking, the more people want to be affiliated with it. Also, make friends, and share links. Join web rings, give the links to your friends who are interested, and an interactive element like a message board, or such, will (if handled correctly) keep people coming back.

    4. Register your url with google and as many other search engines as possible.

    5. Update your site often to have repeat visistors.

    6. Add your url in your email signature.

    7. Do a search on google, then at the bottom of the page is "Disatisfied with results? Help us improve" link. Just fill out the info. and the spiders will go to your site.
