Suggestions for My Hiking Blog

First thing to do is write a few more posts :) 2 posts is not a whole lot! Then go and join some sites like blog catalog, entrecard, and read one of the millions of make money blogs for traffic tips. you can visit my sites if you want to see what blog catalog widgets & entrecard look like: http://itmightbelove.com http://bestofstupid.com It's also good to build relationships with other bloggers - if you comment on them a lot will comment back on yours if the topic is something they can contribute to. You might want to consider getting a custom template (just search free blogger templates) but that's entirely up to you! Good luck!

I think you've done a great job so far, both with the layout and the content. I have just started a blog as well, but you're further than I am, seeing as how you've actually written something. :) There are a few things I thought of while I was reading that you could add: *Trails that you've been on in each state, with links or descriptions to other trails available in each state(thats 50 blog entries right there!) *Hiking safety tips, like items that you want with you, ie water, band-aids(a while box if you're hiking with me), etc. *What your favorite trails are, what you look for while hiking(some people collect leaves, bottle caps, rocks, whatever while hiking) *Have you ever found anything cool while hiking(I've found a huge geode that's apparently pretty close to the largest ever found in the US in the Blue Ridge Mtns in Va) *What to pack that will hold up on a hike for lunch on the trail... That's all I can think of, but it looks like you're off to a great start. I've bookmarked your site so I can keep up with it too.

It's a very nice blog with niche contents, which have the potential to be a good source of knowledge. However if you consider about the people who are interested in hiking there are maybe few in this world compare to people who likes celebrity like Britney spears, Madonna, Carmen Electra, etc. That's why your traffic is fairly low because not many people interested in hiking. However it is still a good resource of knowledge, a place to learn something new for hiking enthusiasts.
