Today.com

Well, it’s sure been a busy week here at Today.com. We had what might be considered growing pains between the new forum, the many new bloggers, and a few tech issues. I must say we seem to be going in the right direction though!

First, I would like to thank my team. You see Nichole, John, Blake, and Bryan posting in the forums. Working hard behind the scenes we also have Dan, Sherry, and Shelly. As they say in Rock & Roll, we got the hardest working band in show biz! It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come in a short amount of time. So here’s a shout out to the Today.com team!

Of course, I also can’t forget VIP Bloggers, both the new ones joining daily and the ones who’ve been around for a little while now. The content and the teamwork we see going on in the forums has been great!

We are launching a redesign of the front page of Today.com real soon that well get you more and more traffic. To begin with we will be featuring one VIP blog a day which will get top exposure. We will pick a different blog each day that we think is doing a great job and show them to the world. The home page gets over 150k visits every day and that’s a lot of eyeballs! So make sure you are putting your heart and soul into your posts because the world is watching.

Now on to my tip of the week.

In case you haven’t noticed (and I don’t know how you couldn’t have) there is a little button called “Add This” on your posts. Are you spreading the word? The button has links to many great services around the web that you can easily submit your blog to. They want to know about your blog, so let them know!

Next I suggest getting out there and finding chat boards and forums on your topic. Introduce yourself and your blog to others interested in what you write about. Don’t forget to add your blog link to your signature in any forums you frequent.

That’s it for this week folks. Make sure you stay up and active on the forums. Our main office is closed for the long weekend, so bear with us if we are a little slow responding to questions and requests the next few days.

Have a safe Memorial Day weekend! Dave
