One of the quickest things you can do when you’ve run out of
things to say, that works no matter what kind of site you have,
on matter what you sell, no matter who you are, is the
link/quote or the link/comment post.
Here’s how it works.

If you want to have a popular blog, find other bloggers in similar
areas, and talk about what they said in their posts. Friendly
debate can often spark the soap-opera like drama that will have
both your audiences visiting both blogs to see what “the other

If you have a fitness site you could say “Isn’t it great that our
personal development is [...]

mainstream.
They did this in September 2004, affording me the opportunity

Your product is probably a brand new discovery to the newest
person at your site. Every once in a while, write as if what you
