If you use Wordpress there is a ver cool plugin that auto posts to the major social networks everytime you publish a new post!

Also look at SEO Elite. This is one of the best SEO software programs available. You can get a free trial download (you will learn a great deal just from the trial) from: http://www.websitetrafficbuilders.com

 Oh, the social poster software is also show on this same site.

What have you done so far? Have you followed any of Darren's suggestions? (ProBlogger).

If I remember correctly, I believe I came across a discussion of yours on Darren's blog or the blog 'why my blog sucks' months ago (your idea of fluid posts was great).

CopyBlogger also has some excellent suggestions. As does Liz at Successful Blog. (I see you are a visitor at SB).


 

Cat,

All of these sites are great sources of information and have provided me with many insights. However, what  I am really looking for is a more specific insight into my site.

 I think your answer is a good one and maybe I should have refined my answer to be more specific to my blog.

 

Thanks

This site get people to randomly reach your blog, in exchange for you surfing other random blogs: http://www.blogexplosion.com/ It's pretty cool, I got to read a lot of interesting blogs and increase my own traffic as well as meet my husband. Also, get more active on the net - comment in other people's blogs, go on flickr\myspace\yahoo groups (if you aren't there already) and put your blog in your profile. Also - photo of naked women sometime helps...
