Learn How To Put Your Blog on the Map (Blogevangize It) -- Completely Off Topic

Let's forget about the dangers of sugar for a bit.

For you bloggers out there who yearn to build buzz for your site and make it attract lots of eyeballs, you have to read this fabulous entry, "The 120 Day Wonder: How to Evangelize a Blog" from Guy Kawasaki, an entrepreneur, author, speaker, investment banker, venture capitalist and managing director of Garage.com.

All 10 items in Guy's Letterman-esque list are worthy of pursuing, but I particularly love his suggestion # 2, "Answer the little man." But, hey, being a woman myself, I'm partial to my own sex so I'm going to "Answer the fun chick" or "Please the picky lady."! (You'll see what I mean when you read his blog post.)

"Scoop stuff" is another of Guy's hot blogevangizing or blogegizing ideas -- yeah, I just coined 2 new words, smushing "blogging" and "evangelizing" together. I guess I already sniff around and scoop up tidbits here and there, but you better believe I'm going to do it a lot more, thanks to this clever tip.

While you're eagerly getting more ideas to snag more readers, check out the hot tips on How to Build Traffic To Your Blog from Priya Shah. (I learned about this, thanks to Guy.

Good luck, my fellow bloggers. And feel free to link here often. (Smile.)

Keep up the good work, Connie! You're on my blogroll but I'll be linking to you more in the future. You present a provocative yet sensible POV. Guy's piece is helpful, as is this "ultimate" guide: http://www.copyblogger.com/increase-web-traffic/
