Attracting Visitors to your Web log - DIY

Let me start with a cliche – Blogs are individual, each one being an outlet in some fashion for the owner. A week or so ago – I decided I needed my own outlet on venting my rants and started this blog. A week down the line, I have started feeling the need for an audience. I dream of getting slashdotted but then if wishes were horses… Thats where I started my quest to get some eye balls. Did a bit of Googling and found quite a few sites that talked about writing well, being unique and even about Google Bombing. I even discovered Blog Shares - a fantasy stock market where weblogs are the companies valued by their incoming links but nothing that actually would help me get visitors. Not to be discouraged – I changed the keywords (ha ha) and Voila – I found a mine of sites I would break up the sites into four classes – . Search Engines Web Log Directories Traffic Exchange Sites Feed Syndication Sites Its too early for me to say if these sites work – but if you are reading this blog – at least one of them does.
