Free Blogging Community - Blog and Make Friends

Thoughts.com is a free blogging community for anyone age 14 or older. It's easy to become a member, all that you need to do is create your free account by filling out a short online form at the website and get ready to publish your first post.

With your Thoughts.com blog you'll be able to share your feelings, express your opinion, or just tell others about the day you've had, or even the life you've had!

The best part is you'll have instant readers, because on Thoughts.com the member's blog posts are listed on many different pages of the site. If you're on the shy side you can choose to keep your journal post private or just for your closest friends.

I browsed through some of the different blogs to see what kind of posts members were making and I found some great stuff. Whether you want to share your poetry, your goals, or even just complain, you'll likely find some friends that will be interested in what you have to say, and you can also support other members by leaving them comments on their blog as well.

It's a great place for online social networking, and in addition to having a Free Blog,Thoughts.com also offers community discussion forums where members can get to know one another, and most of all have fun.

Eight Quick Ways To Increase Traffic Fast

1) Go Public

Submit your blog URL to all major search engines, starting with Google and Yahoo. Sign up to Technorati and submit your blog URL to Alexa to ensure that you've be added to their directory. Get a FeedBurner account and take advantage of all they have to offer.

2) Get Over Yourself

The fastest way to increase traffic to your blog is to focus on your readers and other bloggers. The more you focus on others the better!

2) Become An Active Community Member

If you haven't joined MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog, it's a blogger must! Set up your profile, make sure you have an inviting avatar, and get out there and start reading blogs.

3) Comment, Comment, Comment!

Join the communities of the blogs you like, add people to your contact list, and leave polite comments to let others know what you like about their blogs. Don't leave a comment asking them to visit your blog. Someone will be more interested in visiting your blog when they see that you are enjoying their blog.

4) Pound The Pavement

Make it a point to visit at least ten blogs a day and leave a comment, let the other bloggers know what you like about them, their blog, or what they've written.

5) Be Friendly

Focus on the positive. The idea is to make friends and get to know the other bloggers, leaving negative comments or being negative in general won't get you very far, but thoughtful comments and a friendly attitude will.

6) Write Well

Create blog posts that others will find interesting. You may be interested in what you just ate for breakfast, but how many blog visitors will be? If you want others to visit your blog then write something helpful to others, or talk about the current hot topics. Be funny, be creative, be different, and whatever you do, don't forget to use spell check.


7) A Little Help Goes A Long Way

Think of ways to help other bloggers, maybe you could offer technical help or show your support in blog projects. You can help by stumbling and digging someone's posts, and mentioning (and linking to) their blogs or blog posts on your site. Even leaving friendly and encouraging messages to bloggers just starting out is a big help!

8) Never Give Up!

Don't get discouraged! Too many bloggers give up because they run into people who are rude, condescending, or who ignore them altogether. If you happen to get your feelings hurt, just move on. The blogoshpere is huge and if you keep searching, chances are you will meet some very nice bloggers to connect with!
