I started my blog about 2 months ago and get on average per day about 100 hits, mainly from search engines.

I am not too confident with tagging however and i just want to know if anyone has any tips on how to write effective tags so i can get more hits!

Thank you :)

To increase traffic note that reciprocity is alive and well in the blogosphere. Social networking is strictly give to get. It takes months of posting frequently to attract viewers who will actually submit comments. The best way to get comments on your own posts is to leave meaningful comments on blogs with similar content to what's in your own blog. Set a goal of commenting on "X" number of blogs weekly and carry through.

On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/
The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.

Here are 25 basic steps to take to increase traffic to your blog:

4. Make your blog posts look professional;
5. Create at least 4-6 pillar posts and continue to create pillar posts;
Pillar posts are also referred to as flagship content. Pillar posts are comprehensive posts that offer great value to readers as the contents are timeless in nature. They define you as having authority in the niche you blog in.
6. Select and link to appropriate anchor text;
7. Leave meaningful comments on related blogs and encourage comments on your own blog;

First of all, here is the link to my blog:
http://rhykahsramblings.wordpress.com/
And secondly, I've been having trouble with the links on the left. Is it just me, or do they have big spaces in between that they shouldn't? Does it look strange to you?

Anywho, while I've got some readers here, I'd just like to ask, how many of you would be interested in a blog that publishes around two to three articles a week, usually one of which is a short story or scene? The other two would be advice on writing, getting past writer's block, writing action scenes etc. I was thinking of adding an example for each one as well.
