Bloom Your Blog
Unless you blog to avoid having to spend money on therapy then you probably want more readers then you currently have. I’m no pro so I’ve been surfing around looking at other successful blogs and trying to grab some ideas.
I found some great info over at the Internet Marketing Sweetie Blog by Alice Seba. I’d summarize here, but she did such a nice job cutting to the chase it would be just as fast to give her blog a quick visit. How to Get Blog Traffic – 11 Steps to Growing Readership
You’ll also find some invaluable advise on affiliate marketing that can go a long way towards making your addiction to blogging pay for itself or perhaps even some extra gas money (albeit not much).

Top 100 Sites
If you sell products from your website you need to take advantage of Top 100 Sites that allow you to get your business listed with a brief description, a link, and in many cases a banner ad. The cost? Free!
WAHM Break Cafe has 3 such sites that we manage and the traffic these sites get and deliver is solid and growing all the time.
The original one online for a couple of years now is WAHM Shopping Mall.
Two newer Top 100 sites that deliver some traffic are:
Moms Top 100 and our very own WAHM Break Cafes Top 100.
Check ‘em out. They’re open to woman owned businesses. Banner ads on top are $5 per month. Banner ads and listings within the Top 100 listings are totally free, BUT you’ll need to be sure to link back to the site(s) from your site or your listing will be taken down.
