I agree with your tips

 

still it`s pretty hard to keep on with all of those tips

 

some of them may be done..

 

It can be difficult grabbing traffic to your blog. Most of these tips are quite feasible. I think you have to think in the long term and not necessarily the short term. It’s difficult to get your voice heard when there’s so much blog saturation. But in time, you can find ways to stand out from the rest.

 

These are some pretty nice tips. A fair amount are just plain common sense, but writing down common sense never hurt. I like it.

 

There already some nice tips. But all the tips is not possible to be done by all Blogger. . . . But i just believe if i give proper value to my reader and market my blog in a effective way then it will be popular. Thanks

 

This should always be #1. But a couple of extra tricks never hurt

Awesome tips!Blogging is a great way to boost your online business or to simply get more recognition online. Search engines automatically rank blogs higher than most other sites because blogs are usually updated frequently and that’s important to the search engines. However, there are a few things you can do to make your blog more popular. These include bookmarking every post, using forums and Yahoo answers, including pictures with your blog, and creating videos.
