This is in response to the comment about the vitriolic blog that supposedly gets 100,000 visitors.
Do you ever wonder why some blogs hit it big and others don't? Is it just a case of a blog being better? Or is there a bit of fate and Internet whim involved?
E.g., maybe you are minding your own business and one day, someone with a lot of traffic links to your website. Boom! You get a lot of hits, and then more hits, and then voila, you have a big website.
Meanwhile, I am going to try some of Julie's tips in promoting my new yoga blog, namely, going and posting on other blogs where my URL is linked.
We'll see if that helps!
The first thing you should do is one I picked up here on this site.. use the signature so that all your comments here have a link to your blog.
Good Luck! I'll have to read that one myself.. as you've already said.. it would help with my pain and inflammation.

I think fate or luck has some effect - getting your site under the eyes of someone already popular who promotes it. But I think you can increase the odds of that happening with site promotion.
I've been comparing traffic on the blog I promoted (and wrote about) with my other blogs, and it is still getting more traffic than my blog here (which I think is actually more interesting) or my service dog Miss Pico's blog (which is much better established.)
Best of luck with your yoga blog!
