So I experimented, and apparently there is some sort of limit, because I can stumble other sites (including my other sites hosted on the same server/IP address, but different domain names), but no longer
A Miracle A Day.
That being the case, I can still post my new articles I think are good on here, and you guys can stumble them, but I'm curious if any of you have any other suggestions on how to draw traffic (by the way, there are a bunch of links at the bottom of each post on my site where you can submit the post to various places, or vote for it if it's already submitted, a la Digg, Reddit, Del.icio.us, etc.)? I keep reading from various sources (ProBlogger, CopyBlogger, even Steve Pavlina) that the way to get traffic is to post comments on other blogs, but I'm not really exactly certain how to find other blogs with enough readers to actually generate any traffic or links for me.
Do you guys have anywhere that you submit your articles to (an article directory or something), or other suggestions for places where I might be able to generate more visibility for my blog? I don't think there's a problem with my content (I hope not!), but it doesn't matter if content is the most fantastic in the world, if it never gets seen.
Also, on a side note, anyone have any suggestions for getting more comments from the people who DO come look? I really want to grow a community (I'm not EVEN doing this to generate money, though that's a happy potential side effect), people who will communicate with me through my blog and expand my knowledge and understanding. In order to do that, I need to generate traffic, and I understand how to do that for a different sort of site (I could have many readers easily if I started a blog on technology... I understand how to target Digg/Slashdot/whatever readers, and get people from those site to come look at tech stuff), but I really don't know where to go to get the visibility I need in the personal development space.
