It’s day 22 of NaBloPoMo, and I’m still going strong. Whether
you’re a longtime reader or you’re new here, if you like what you’ve been
reading, do one of these three things to help support this blog.
Leave Comments Directly on the Blog
When I post here, I share the links on my Facebook page, and
most of my readers like to comment on those Facebook links. That’s great! I
appreciate every word of feedback and engagement that I get from fans, friends,
and readers. But let me tell you why I’d prefer that you leave your remarks right
here, directly on the blog, in the comment section right underneath each post.
Comments boost the blog in search rankings. Search algorithms,
especially Google’s, take a lot of things into consideration when assigning
search rankings, but one of those things is whether a page has a community
interacting with it. Your comments show search engines, and other readers,
including readers who might be considering publishing my work elsewhere, that this
blog has an actual readership and, hopefully, they will get people to stop
saying things like, “Well at least it gets you writing,” when I talk about working
on my blog. So, when you read a post, do me a solid and go to the bottom of the
page where it says, “Post a Comment,” and enter your comments, concerns,
questions, crazy rants, compliments, insults, or rebuttals into the comment
box, select an account you want to use from the “Comment as” dropdown menu, of
which “Anonymous” is an option btw, and click “Publish.”
Share Posts on Your Social Media
I LOVE IT when people share my posts on social media. The majority of my traffic comes from social media shares, so it's a great way to promote the blog and increase it's readership and make me like you more. Besides, there's really no better endorsement of my work than to show it off to all of your
friends. Tweet it, Facebook it, email it to your listserve, talk about it at
your next dinner party.
