For example, if I post about some local news story as soon as I see the headline, and Google indexes me (as he does regularly), I'll show in search results for the non-competitive search term. Since it's a non-competitive term, I'll rank near the top, and people will click and read. The interesting thing about it is that (as far as I've been able to tell), Google seems to take the logic that if my site is applicable for 1 search term I rank well for, then chances are good that my other postings are applicable to search results. In the last several months, I've seen my traffic (visitors and search engine referrals) grow exponentially, and it's (in part) because I'm ranking well for a lot of different terms in Google.

Ask yourself, "Why would anybody WANT to read my blog?" If you're writing posts about having a fun weekend with your friends or how much you like coffee, the answer is probably that there isn't much reason to read your blog if people don't know you. Also, consider including pornography in your posts. Also try to remember that we’re never quite as interesting as we think we are. Ask yourself, “Why would anybody WANT to read my blog?”

Having the RMFO-Blogs tyrant change the alt text on one's link to something other than "(Inactive)". Just sayin'. :) You know what else might beget traffic, Geof?
