Greg Hartnett.co - how can you get the most out of the Blogosphere?  The more you put in the more you’ll get out.  It’s not an easy undertaking and it’s more work than they originally thought of.

Laying the foundation - brush up on your writing skills, pay attention to grammar

Optimize for Performance - do a url re-write and replace it by the post title, categories and archives - the more the better.  Set up your ping services.

Start by submitting your sites to Yahoo!, DMOZ, Best of the Web Blog Dir, etc. Head over to Technorati and claim your blog and submit to RSS feeds at www.rssspecifications.com

Get Social - read what other bloggers are writing about and subscribe to as many feeds as you can bear.

Blog Rolling - getting social and participating in the conversation (comment on other people’s blogs and commenting on quality, high trafficked blogs).  What  you say in your comments is more important than what you say on your blog.

If you don’t have something intelligent to say, don’t say it.

Tap into the power of community driven sites such as digg, myspace.com, del.icio.us, shashdot, gabbr.com craigslist, etc.  The MySpace land grab has some pretty interesting tips.  The power of DIGG is enormous - DIGG favors tech material - the user base of DIGG represents the perfect storm of users and connectors.

There’s also a feature of DIGG that blogs a story on DIGG to your blog and by doing this you can get your site Dugg.

Doing these types of things on an incremental basis can give you 1000’s of additional visitor s a day.

The Power of picture is that they communicate an emotion while crossing a culture and language differences.

YouTube and Google Video take it to a new level by putting video onto your site.  While you can place your url with your clip you can drive a lot for users to your site each day.

If you follow the steps outlined with some persistence you’ll get a ton of visitors.  If you give to the blogosphere you will get   greghartnett.co
