Free tip: How I more than doubled hits to my blog
I searched and searched to find a way to do technorati and del.icio.us tagging to the best effect, and quickly. I mean, almost automated.
The info can be already found on the WWW, but not a simple set of instructions, as far as I know. I've done the searching and written the easy How-To and I'll share it with progressive bloggers who ask for it (see below), because I like to see the right people get it. (I'm not publishing it openly because I would hate to give an advantage to any but the best blogs while the world is in such challenging times.)
As soon as I tried this new free method, I started getting more than twice the number of hits to this blog. Almost three times more hits, in fact. It's nothing you have to join, but a time-saving way to automate tags in technorati and del.icio.us simultaneously. It works for all blogs but even better for Blogger blogs. It does add a little time to each post if you are not already tagging, but it's certainly worth it, I've found on several of my blogs.
What I will do for free
If you have a progressive, radical or liberal blog, email me pipwilson [AT] acay.com.au and put Pip's Tip in the subject header and only your URL in the body (nothing else ... but if you are a member of Progressive Blog Alliance please write "PBA Member" in the body) and I will show you how I did it. I'll email easy guidelines for a process that takes less than half an hour if you can cut and paste html. Allow me a few days to reply please.
What I won't do for love nor money
Regrettably, (a) I'm not technically minded so I won't offer tech support, I'll just send you one email explaining how I did it, and (b) I will only share it with progressive sites, so send me your URL too so I can see it. Me no like, me no reply, OK? Also, I'm really busy this week so I don't have time to correspond with you, sorry.
What I ask in return
It's free, but if you get more traffic, I would like you to give this tip a mention and put a permanant link to Wilson's Blogmanac on your site.
Deal? Pass it on. "No correspondents will be entered into." ;)
[Speaking of Technorati, I see today the Blogmanac is ranked 4,034 out of 16.5 million blogs.]

I can't recommend this highly enough! Thanks for all the work, Pip, and thanks for sharing your tip.
I thought the method might be tricky but no, I just followed the easy steps and it worked like a treat.
First off my hits doubled. Then I had to go offline briefly and lost 2 days. Now I'm back posting again and today, using your method, my hits have quadrupled!
You only offer advice to liberal bloggers? What kind of stupid thing is that?
Excellent question, Damien. To reply: I think it's one of the best stupid things I do. Thank you very much.
