| If you are not getting much feedback it may be that your site is not being seen by many people. There are a number of ways you can rectify this.
One great idea is to join an online writerņs circle. These are groups of writers who comment on each others work. Of course you will need to comment on the work of the other writers, but that is in any case a useful exercise in itself.
You can attempt to get more visitors to your site by using SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques. There used to be a bit of a black art to this involving the use of keywords, page structure and regular site submission to the numerous search engines. Nowadays there is really only one game in town - Google PageRank. Even though Yahoo and MSN (Windows Live) are starting to fight back, Google holds the lionņs share of search engine traffic. Google ranks your pages amongst the rest of the Internet according to how many other pages link to you and, crucially, the page rank of those linking pages themselves. Somehow Google manages this in such a way that the whole process doesnņt dissappear into its own page rank. There are tricks that people use to try and boost their page rank but usually these are eventually rumbled by Google and rendered ineffective. The only sure way of getting visitors from search engines (i.e. Google) is to make your pages interesting enough that people will link to them. Having said that, it doesnņt hurt to ask; so by all means contact the owners of web sites that have content that ought to link to you and ask them to do so. But beware of "link farms" and "link exchange" schemes - these will simply clutter your site with useless links and they almost certainly donņt work anymore.
Another possibililty, since your Blooki site is amongst other things effectively a blog, is to use blogging tools like Technorati, de.li.cio.us, etc. to publish your content and RSS feed. There is a community building up around blogging which has its own search technology, and it also helps your Google page rank. |
