Do you know Twitter can be a useful tool to help promote your blog (or online business / products)? Twitter is part of Micro-blogging. You can post updates of your blog via Twitter, and also include the Twitter widget to your blog to show your updates.
What is Micro-blogging?
Micro-blogging is a form of blogging that allows users to write brief text updates (usually 140 characters) and publish them, either to be viewed by anyone or by a restricted group which can be chosen by the user. These messages can be submitted by a variety of means, including text messaging, instant messaging, email, MP3 or the web. [ Source ]

Another way of getting some traffic is through blog review. Get your blog reviewed by someone (with higher PageRank) can help improve your blog traffic and also to gain potential readers. IMHO, it has higher chances of gaining readership than using EntreCard.

Early this year a lot of bloggers were discussing and trying BlogRush, a network that might draw traffic to your blog. BFN (Blogging For Novice) has added the BlogRush widget at the right sidebar. Base on the statistic, not all posts from BFN attracts readers. To bring BFN’s traffic to another level, I have decided to add the EntreCard widget here.
EntreCard is really a great tool to generate traffic and also a chance to gain potential readers. Other than that, through the EntreCard network, you can find out more blogs that share the same interest. I have found several nice blogs via the EntreCard network.
What is an Entrecard?
Entrecard is your business card 2.0. It’s a 125×125 image which represents you and your blog. Its part advertisement, part business card. It comes with a widget you place on your blog, so that others can leave their Entrecard for you. You can also use Entrecard to promote your blog and launch free advertising campaigns.

What’s the hot topic in the Internet recently? Yea, no doubt a lot of people, especially tech bloggers, are talking about Google Chrome. What is Google Chrome? It’s a browser by Google! That’s really a buzz, isn’t it? I have not yet fully tested this new browser, but what I found impressive is the simple and clean interface. It supports tab browsing, and several features which you can learn more about it here.
Guess what? Some kind souls out there have made such simple and clean interface into a blog theme which you can use for your blogs! If you are a fan of 2 columns, white and clean layout, this is a theme that you will definitely suit your taste.
