I also use the Tecnnorati Ping form .. it tells the search engines that your sites been updated

Yes, I have a Blog - but I have had the website since 1999.
And the blog for a few years now. So the website itself was already getting a steady stream of hits when I joined Zazzle.

Over the years, the entire thing changes with whatever goes on with my life, first it was about my music CD, then it was about my poetry, then about Acting, then alot of blogging about health issues as I went through breast cancer, and then back to Acting and Volunteer work, and Flickr pictures...
now there is alot of Zazzle stuff on it.

One other thing I like about Zazzle is that those generated Links give me content for my blog. People like to look at pretty pictures on the internet. So even if they don't buy, it makes for good content, because they will come to look.

The only thing I do wrong - is I don't update everyday. To get a really large Blog readership people need to be able to depend on New Content on a regular basis. The more you update and blog, the more readers you will get. I definetely see a huge increase in Stats when I keep my blog updated. When I go to long without updating, my numbers decrease...

Good luck with the blogging. I am heading over to take a look now.

You fill in the URL of your blog .. zazzle gallery etc .. when its been updated then ping it ... it checks you have updated it and then updates the search engines with whatever is new in your blog

Yes, I always ping when I have done updates for my blog.

But only ping once per update.
I mean, don't ping 3 different times using 3 different pinging sites.
Each Pinging Site does the same thing, and if you ping to often without a change to the page, I think they can get mad at you and refuse your pings or whatever.....

So pick the pinging site you like the best, and use that one when you make updates to your page.

I've been blogging for a couple of months now. It does seem to get more traffic my way. I just blog about pretty much whatever enters my head. Here are the blogs I have:

BrainLint
Shirts-N-At
BrainLint on Myspace

And after reading this, it struck me that it's Saturday...my day to blog about a shirt-of-the week. gotta go.
