I just wanted to write you a comment ba...Hey there! I just wanted to write you a comment back answering some of the questions you asked me about my book blog. I started mine about 10 months ago and when I did I also joined www.bookblogs.ning.com. It is a community of book bloggers (kinda like Facebook) and that is how I got most of my first followers. You also have to be real consistent with your blogging and your comments to other bloggers. If you are loyal to them they will probably be loyal to you too! As far as getting your blog posts in a Google search, that is what the Labels box on the bottom of your posts are about (like in this post you typed "3.75, Meier". I type the title of the book, the authors name, and my rating into all of the Labels every time I type a blog post. Google searches the content of you blog and especially the Labels. <br /><br />The Blog Hop and the "Wednesday this Friday that" stuff are called Memes. They are little things bloggers do so that they post something everyday. Someone comes up with one and then other people use the same ones and thats why you see a lot of the same ones floating around. So an example would be "Monday Mailbox" you see this on some blogs, that is when the blogger is blogging about the books they received over the past week via mail (Amazon, Publishers, etc). The Blog Hop is one that Crazy-For-Books.com puts on and this is a neat one because you sign up every week (on her blog) a link of you blog goes up and people click on the links of different blogs and meet new bloggers and find new blogs to follow. I don't really participate in Memes but I like the Blog Hop.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm going to follow you and I'll check in every once in a while and see what you are reading!
