Liebster Award – Blogs with less than 200 followers
-
Hi – not sure this is the right place to ask but let’s try…!
I have received a Liebster Award and I have to nominate 11 blogs with less than 200 followers…
Any suggestions? Food and travel blogs preferred! :-)
Thanks!

I hope you understand that blogger created memes like blog awards aren’t created or sponsored by WordPress.com and no value other than sentimental value.
New bloggers tend to get caught up in award exchanges and experienced bloggers avoid them like they avoid the plague. New bloggers love them and post as many as they get. :)
An award is an image and you can add it via the Image Widget. You will need the URL to the image. See Image Widget: https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/image-widget/ You will need the URL to the image.
Added information: If you cannot get backlinks naturally by having bloggers recognize your authority in your niche based on the outstanding value of the unique content in your posts, you can always create a blog award meme to get some (even though Google will ascribe little value to the links). You can create a badge and a list of things to do and award them to friends. More information here http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2013/05/14/make-a-free-award-event-or-website-badge/

https://dailypost.wordpress.com/blogging-university/Here are some tips re: increasing traffic.
If you want to increase traffic then don’t listen to anyone who professes there are passive ways of doing that. Increasing traffic to a blog is hard work. If you want your blog to rank well in search engine results and secure a traffic flow from the SERPs (search engine page results) then that begins with creating and publishing original content posts (not pages) ie. unique content that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet. See How to Identify Your Blog’s Target Audience http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2013/09/01/how-to-identify-your-blogs-target-audience/
It is commenting on other blogs with similar content that encourages traffic to flow to your own blog. If you are a WordPress.com blogger there are onsite tools you can use to find blogs by subject matter that are hosted on this multiuser blogging platform http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2014/01/20/finding-blogs-with-similar-content/ However, do NOT stop there because the classic error new bloggers tend to make here is focusing only on gaining traffic from this site alone.
These 5 videos introduce how Google discovers, crawls, indexes your site’s pages, and how Google displays them in search results.

Whether you write informative, persuasive or controversial content learning how search engines work, and how to apply basic SEO to you content will benefit your blog as it will increase traffic from targeted readers. http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2011/10/21/two-seo-videos-for-bloggers/
