Hi recently joined.  I am interested if anyone has any suggestions or comments on gaining readers for their blogs rather than just playing the traffic games.  My particular blog http://thedandeliontree.blogspot.com
aim is to gather a readership that follows the roll out of the chapters and I would rather appeal to genuine book lovers than people that hit for a minute and then leave.

Hi Mike. That’s the big question and everyone wants quality traffic. I think that you have to just get out and participate in the community. Comment on people’s sites, writeoften and thoughtfully, and dialogue with others through your site. Those aren’t games at all, but participation. That sort of traffic is slow to grow, I warn you. You can also post things here at MetaxuCafe because you will find an audience here that may not be the same as your site and people will find you that way.

Hope that’s helpful,
Bud

Thanks for the helpful advice.
