Here's a short checklist of things you can do to increase readership, traffic, and overall visibilty on the internet. These things are all must haves if you expect to make money!• Write well and write often
• Write what you know and what you like writing about
• Stay with your general topic, and be informative
• Answer comments kindly and promptly
• Never make lame excuses for not updating
• Keep your site neat and orderly
• Your site should be easy on the eyes and easy to read
• Toss out the trash regularly by deleting and blocking spam comments
• Use social bookmarking icon links for Reddit, deli.cio.us and Furl and many others
• Use Technorati tags on keywords in your posts
• Make sure your readers can reach you by email or web form
• Don't have more than 2 or 3 posts showing on the front (index) page
• Make sure your site loads quickly with no major errors
• Frequently check your site in all major browsers for appearance and readability
• Leave relevant comments with your return link at other sites
• Good content is most important
• Don't distract from content with excessive buttons and blinkie ads in sidebar
• Use relevant images in posts, don't over do it
Those are the most important ones I can think of at the moment but I'll probably add more in the future.
