there is only one way, the hard way.

That's a great way of putting it!

Wait for one month. I will inform you when I know those methods. Content hardly matter more. There are many other things much important than it. But there are no hard & fast rule.

For the past 3 full days i have been really working hard in trying to promote my blogs.
I have registered on 5 different forums (apart form this) and m active in all. I have registed with Digg, stumble upon and twitter. I have written articles for ezinearticles too. I have got a good response too. I get about 200-300 views a day. But now its getting hard as i dont think i can continue like this.

Whats the point of good original content when no one can reach it.

can someone please suggest ways to attract people from search engines and tips on keywords, for starters.

All pro bloggers say that they will gain momentum as time passes, but i really dont get that idea.

I m really wating for your reply luke.

Thanks

Well is your blog title catchy enough that it can intrigue readers to go through it? If people like the title they read the complete stuff to see whats it about and even forward in mail chains.

The first thing is quality content. Second thing choose a domain name which can be optimised. I don't have much knowledge about Search Engine Optimization. Try seraching google for SEO, you might get some solution.

Don't we have a thread about SEO on this forum?

Then can you tell more ways too (if any)?

The better your SEO, better is your traffic. Please go through

SEO — India Broadband

Here some tips.

(1) Unique and public demanded content.
(2) Update blog regularly, which will increase the crawl rate of search engines. If you are not able to update the site regularly due to the paucity of time, then devote more time on holidays and schedule at least one post for each day.
(3) Be justified to your site topic.
(4) Submit the site map to search engines. If you are using Wordpress the use the automatic sitemap generating pluggin.
(5) Use " All in one SEO" pluggin for wordpress it's very simple to use and effective.
(6) Check the top searched keywords from Google trends and make some good posts accordingly.
(7) Put your site's link at other important blogs through comments.
(8) Yahoo answers and Youtube are very good options for getting traffic.
(9) Use your blog link as a signature in Forums and Emails.

for SEO content matters and content sukz..

->Too many adverts and that too poorly placed ,gives a cheap look to the site
-> Your topic should be carefully chosen .

While your review of 4850 is very good you will be up competing against Tom's Hardware,Anand Tech etc ,giving your blog no opportunity to appear in the first page of Google results .


How you can improve

->Keep updating your content ..... Post something regularly ...the bigger your site ,more the views
->learn some basic seo techniques



//pls do check the signature rules , i think we r not allowed to link to blogs with adverts

Links to personal websites and blogs are allowed. That is not considered advertising as long as they are not revenue earning sites for the owner of the signature. But surely two such links are more than enough.

But how do we keep our content secure ?? how do we make sure no one just copies it and calls it their own ?

I have seen some people in other forums who copy righted their article .I dont know how this is done .
copyright+warning should do the trick

Google search term : websites copy protection
Trial application for 30 days.
HTML Guard - Copy protection for websites

copy righting is must so that one may not use your own stuff telling that its mine...

for ex. i have an account at flickr and through it one cannot save the images cause it is a different image format(which would be saved like some bytes,..) but still guys take screenshot and maybe misusing it... but the great part, no one can misuse your original raw photographs..

but for text the above things cannot work, except you use pdf.. or some doc reader...

Yes. Anyone who write a article by default get his copyright. It is upto him to specify it. I myself have posted article in that way. Only thing is that you should be able to prove that it is by you.

Do some advertisment for your Site. Join lot of fourms and give your URL there.

Do you think that using a bloggers network site helps?

I am currently a member of mybloglog.com, but it has yet to drive any significant traffic my way.
