How to make popular a struggling blog

There are millions of bloggers in the world today. Some blog about technology (like me), some about travel and most of them do nothing. The some I mentioned are the popular bloggers whom we like to read. I don't come under the umbrella of struggling bloggers who want more people to read their story and view point. But it is not easy. It is tough and yes to put more stress on this I'd say this is "damn-damn" tough. The struggling bloggers mostly struggle because of google. Yes! You might find that strange but google gives preference to a blog with a higher page rank and yours ( or mine) being a struggling blog, we never stand a chance. So what do we do next. Promote ourselves. Promote through digg,del.icio.us and other social bookmarking websites. Some go the extent of spamming. In this post I will not go into those things. I'll give more preference to the blog post content this time. Every time search engine optimization is talked about, experts say , "focus on content". But how can a person write a wikipedia content single handedly. It is not practical. It is possible of course! Just spend one day per article or probably more and you'll reach you target of the wikipedia standard and still it wouldn't meet the standards required for an article that is featured on wiki. So what's next. I'd say write short articles, but write more. Atleast 5 articles a day if you plan to be a professional blogger. I met a few at a blogcamp recently. There is an easy way where you connect your blogging platform with a microblogging platform. But whats microblogging. In case this term is new, it is blogging within 140 characters according to www.twitter.com , a microblogging service. To get more information on microblogging, after reading my blog make an account on twitter (but after reading, cos there is more to tell). Now once you've finished up with your account on twitter, log on to twitter feed [ http://twitterfeed.com/ ]. The twitterfeed service is in sync with twitter. It uses the RSS of your blog and updates itself after regular intervals (say 1 hour) and puts your post link on your twitter account. Wow! isn't it. So connect with like minded people on twitter and don't worry about bookmarking your page and trying to become a power digger(digg.com). Next time I'll compare dogg with the tiny twitter, but be careful, twitter.com has got a annoyingly high downtime.
So blogger, get your twitter account and start tweeting. Don't forget to follow me on twitter.

But for the struggling blogger this isn't it. It still won't give you a wikipedia post. I'd suggest stop wasting your time building up articulate posts. Just be objective and tweet, digg and sleep. Sleep is meant for sleeping, its not a website.
