What I'm wondering is if you write great articles about Personal Development. Why not stick to that and increase the traffic to your website that is your niche?
One forum I would suggest is
WebMasterWorld. There's lot of good information over there IMO.
Another is....ok so I gave in and checked the original URL. You have an Ad that says a post on this Blog is $5. Umm...at least lie about price
Aim for the moon, even if you land among the stars.
So I'm just going to focus the rest on SelfHelpWisdom because I really like that URL.
You have Feedburner. I forget the account levels but get the digg this, stumbleupon, del.icio.us buttons at the bottom of each post. Digg is your friend. Traffic is short lived but hey you want to build it up!
Personal opinion, turn off the U comment, I follow. Readers don't care. If a blogger is going to pick it up they'll do it either way. It took me clicking on that link to figure out what it is.
I'm working on a site monetized by Ads, so I completely understand having them. But underneath the title on the right hand side of 2 posts?
Your Affiliate ID on the one Blogroll link is viewable. And none of the rest seem to have anything to do with Personal Development. Though I didn't click.
As usual, take with a grain of salt.
