My travels across the internet have afforded me numerous lessons-learned and revealed several amazing new facts to me. In addition to the incredible educational benefits I have consumed from the many informative blogs I have personally visited, I have noticed that most of the blogs and web-sites are operated by individual entrepreneurs or business owners from every conceivable background. Some of these people may certainly be moonlighting employees of large corporations, who thankfully and graciously have chosen to offer their personal experience and considerable wealth of knowledge to visitors who view their site. What great resources are out there awaiting us!

One cannot help but notice the efforts by many bloggers to discover additional strategies and methods for increasing their site traffic. So many bloggers are exchanging favs, links, reviews and other connections. Some persons are now paying for links. Most strategies however, are built on the premise of "do this for me and I will reciprocate." While there is nothing wrong with this approach, I prefer to exercise my faith in humanity, utilize an honor system and make the following suggestions. Keeping these facts in mind, I suggest that we all be ever-mindful of our fellow web-preneurs and do our very best in contributing to their emboldened web presence, to their overall sales growth and success, thus guaranteeing our own as well. What? How?

If you believe, like I do, in the principle of "what comes around goes around," and the Golden Rule, then embracing the following, somewhat radical ideas, will be easy. When you visit a blog or traditional web site, always make it a point to do the following:

1. If the site interests you, bookmark it. Come back often.

2. If you like their article content, subscribe to their feed. Don't just think about it.

3. Click on their Technorati Fav button.

4. If you enjoy an article, take a few moments to comment on it. People really appreciate this.

5. Be certain to identify your favorite articles by bookmarking them. Bookmark the articles using Digg, Delicious or Whatever buttons are furnished.

6. Author a new article, featuring a link to their site or blog. Use track-backs.

7. If they have another web site or blog, visit it as well and follow the steps listed here again.

8. If he/she has published articles on the many available article distribution hubs, read them.

9. If their site or article has a voting button, use it! Be encouraging.

10. Place a link to their site on your own page. Your readers will also appreciate the reference.

11. If he/she has written a book, buy and read it. Consider reviewing it. Let them know what you think.

12. Look over their ads. Explore any published ad or link that appeals to you. Window shopping is okay.

13. Visit other blogs in your blog communitites, leaving inspiring messages.

14. Subscribe to their newsletter.
