		<description><![CDATA[In 2006 we saw an explosion of community-based websites; From self-submitted news sites like Digg.com, to Del.icio.us social-bookmarking, to Youtube.com videos, it is clear that the trend of user-submitted content is here to stay and will only grow larger in 2007. One way to boost traffic to your site is to create ways for your users to contribute their own content to your site. It will guarantee that there is always something fresh to read on your site, and take a whole load of work off your shoulders.

So how can you foster a community environment on your blog? There are a number of techniques you can use, some of which I've already tried on this site and I'll overview the successes that I've had with them.

8 Steps to Fostering a Community in your Blog

1. Recognize top commentators

The main difference between a blog and a website is a blog offers the ability for its users to interact with the author and each other though comments. Comments are the primary reason why your users will return frequently to your site. I've recently installed the Show Top Commentators plugin into the sidebar of this site to recognize top commentators on CyberWyre. The plugin lists top commentators on the site, and links back to the homepage which they specify in the comment. This will provide a little incentive to your readers to interact more and post more comments on your site. Be careful though, as this may also encourage your readers to spam more often, or place homepage links to inappropriate sites.

Going forward, any comment posted on this site will be recorded, and top commentators will have links to their site from the homepage of CyberWyre.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a link to check my Alexa ranking in my Firefox toolbar, and do so almost every day; Usually just after I check my internal server logs just to see how closely Alexa matches these statistics. Although some will dispute the validity of Alexa ratings, major advertising networks such as AdBrite and Text Link Ads use Alexa ratings regularly to price advertising on publisher websites -- this means that you should care about your Alexa rating, and check it regularly!

Alexa ranks are determined in a similar manner to how Neilson TV ratings are generated -- the browsing habits of a small portion of the population are monitored through a client-side installed browser toolbar and then multiplied by the estimated total Internet user population to determine total traffic to a particular website....

How to Improve your Alexa Rank

So you want to find a way to improve your Alexa rank and hopefully, increase your payout per link sold on your site. Well, first you have to recognize the weakness in the way that Alexa ranks websites. In order for Alexa to obtain a sample of the world's Internet browsing habits, it relies on it's users.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most site authors, and statistics packages out there are concerned with number of viewers, and number of page views, however they never really touch on one of the most important statistics: page views per user. How often do your visitors simply come and go, leaving your site as fast as a TV channel surfer? Are you encouraging your visitors to stay for a while and click through multiple pages? If you are able to take your average viewer from 1 page view per visit to two page views per visit, you are effectively doubling your page views. It's all a numbers game -- the more ads you serve up, the more you will earn -- and you just doubled your potential.

So how can we increase our page views? Here are a few helpful tips that I have followed myself and you might want to try as well:
1. Use the "More" tag to split your posts
Using this feature will benefit your site in two ways: if you tend to write lengthy posts as I do, it will help to clean up your home page and allow your readers to view more than one article headline at a time. It will also greatly increase your page views by nearly a factor of two. In my log files, I can pinpoint to the exact day that I started using this feature, as my page views per user ratio increased by approximately 80%.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well I have taken some time to review the results of my experiment and I've actually had a hard time determining if it was successful or not.

My goals from this experiment were to: 1) generate organic traffic to my site, and 2) make money. Breaking down my analysis into these two goals, we get the following:

Goal #1: Generate Organic Traffic

When I was initially planning this contest, I had thought that the offer of $50 for a simple link-back to my site would bring dozens of entrants. "What's a 30-second link for a chance at 50 bucks?", I was thinking.

I promoted this contest on Digg, del.icio.us, numerous forums I frequent, and on CyberWyre of course. In the end, I received only six entrants, from which a winner was selected.

There will be no increased organic traffic from only six link-backs. As such, the first goal to generate traffic through increased link-backs failed.
