Getting Attention

There's not much point in having a blog if nobody knows it's there.

One way to attract visitors is to buy a few minutes of air time and advertise during the Super Bowl. For those of us whose budgets are smaller than the GNP of an average Mideast country, there are online resources.

I register on DMOZ, Google (yes, I know that's a little redundant), and a few other directories. It's also a good idea to get involved with blogger communities like BlogCatalog, Technorati, and Digg. They usually expect bloggers to add something, like the Technorati Profile, but that's a small price to pay for getting involved in the blogosphere.
