To clarify, for advertising, is it 500 unique visitors, or 500 visitors, or 500 page views a day?

On the contrary, I majored in English and have taught it for the past seven years. I rarely ever see a problem on your sight. And serious errors are very rare here. One or two mistakes every now and then is excusable as even major newspapers and journals succumb to the typo every now and then. My hat’s off to you for the amount of time and effort that goes the number of valuable, professionally written posts you put out each day. Thank you for your hard work!

Thanks for posting and answering my question, Crystal! I appreciate the advice and will be making some changes to my blog. I’ve gotten a lot of extra traffic from the link to my blog, too. I’ve hit 500 views the past two days. Thanks! You’re doing a fabulous job. Congrats on baby #3!

I have also really enjoyed this series. Thanks so much for taking the time to give us all these great tips.

I somehow ran across becomeablogger.com – have you heard of that? They recommend setting up a blog with your own domain name and say that a self hosted wordpress blog is the way to go. What do you think?

WordPress seems a little complicated for people like me (Although, I’m not sure). How important is it to have your own domain name?

Thanks again,
Stacy

Thank you so much for doing this series. I know I am learning a lot about blogging. I am really enjoying having a blog that helps those in my local area (SC) find bargains. You are one of my favorite blogs to check regularly.

Traffic is the hardest thing for me right now. It is a s-l-o-w process!

Hi! I’m actually from England and your English is not bad at all!!! Anyhoo, I just wanted to say thanks for your blog, I’ve been tracking you for a little bit and suddenly realized I should use my journalism degree and do something online for mums in this area. So Mummy Deals was born and is growing quick. I have a question – when I get to 500 hits a day – where do I go for advertising? Is there anyone who’ll pay attention to me at 100 hits? thanks heaps for your help! Clair

I signed up about a week ago with coupons.com. How long does it normally take to receive a response from them to know that you are accepted?

Thanks for this series. You really helped me as I was/am working to get my homemaking blog off the ground. I’ve already had a great response just by following the advice and tips you gave. Thanks for all you do!

Absolutely loved this series! I’m one of those English majors on here and you don’t do too bad with the writing ).

I’m hoping to get more traffic to my blog by being part of carnivals and mr. linky posts. Hopefully, within 2 years, I can have a great readership like yours and launch another blog about cooking(one of my passions). Thank you for the inspiration and also, congratulations on the new addition! Hope your blessings continue.

Thanks for this post. I have been having trouble with the coupons.com ad for my site and I thought it was just me but now I know it isn’t–so is there anyway to fix it so it doesn’t slow down the loading time of my main page??

I just started reading this blog and so far your writing is great but I noticed you wrote you want to work on it. I recently took some writing classes and one book everyone recommends is The Elements of Style by William Strunk–it is a quick read with easy to follow rules–I found it helpful.

Thank you so much for this series – it gave me the boost I needed to start my public blog. I’ve enjoyed learning from this series and appreciate you being honest with what works and doesn’t work.
