This is in response to Challenge 9, Activity 2 of the Student Blogging Challenge.

Q: If you didn’t get many visitors to your blog (other than your classmates), what do you think you need to do to get them to visit? Write a post about this.

A: My blog has received a total of 250 visits, or, blogging lingo, “hits.” A nice, psychologically satisfying number. However, there is always room for improvement. For this reason, I will list several ways I can attract more visitors in the future.

• Write more interesting posts
• Interact more with the blogging community (by leaving comments on their blogs, making more posts that draw the readers in and prompt them to participate, etc.)
• Make my blog more visually exciting (creating more photo/video-centric posts, polls, etc.)
• Write engaging first sentences and snappy titles with keywords
• Link to other blogs in your blogroll
• Write more lists
• Post more regularly and consistently

As always, I am open to constructive criticism; do any of you guys have suggestions for ways I can improve my blog?
