How do I get my old blogs to my new yahoo page?

How can I get people to go my yahoo 360 page?

• I have recently set up a yahoo 360 page and started my first blog entry but so far no one has read it. How can I get people from the general 360 public to go to my 360 page and read the blogs I put up. Thanks in advance!!! P.S- If anyone is interested my url for 360 is (http://360.yahoo.com/blessedlydivine) read my blog and leave your comments on my page, I will always take good advice and positive criticism into consideration.

• Answer:

  Whether you get more visitors depends on how much effort that you put into promoting your 360 space and how interesting your space is to people: 1. Connect with other users. Yahoo! 360 is a social-networking site that features a blog. That means you should add friends to your 360 space (the limit is 300, and a max of 100 invites can be pending at one time). - In 360, you can find people with similar interests via the Search page. You can also find people via Y/A profiles. Yahoo! Groups used to have a link for adding people to 360 spaces, but it is a good place to find 360 users. Check out the Y-360 Friends group at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Y-360-Friends/ - Finding "active" users is key to a great Y!360 experience. Try to connect with people who have a decent amount of content about themselves on their Y!360 (which means you should have the same on yours), people who comment on their friends pages, people who update their blogs often. - Be active yourself. Visit other blogs and develop online relationships with others. Commenting on other blogs and having people comment on your blog is very important. 2. Promote your space or blog - Wherever you can, you should put a link to your blog. Your profiles, your signature in personal e-mails, and etc. You should do this without spamming sites and strangers though. For example, in Yahoo! Answers, the link would have to directly relate to the answer or question. Send a link to your 360 space to all your contacts (friends and family) and encourage them to pass it on. - Put the link to your 360 space in your Y/A profile's "About Me" section: Click "My Profile" to the upper right of this Yahoo! Answers page, then click "Edit My Info" in the top left box on the Answers profile page. Type your 360 address into your Y/A profile's "About Me" section. Make sure A SPACE directly follows the address. Click the "Preview" button, then the "OK" button. 3. Make the blog easy to find - If possible, make the URL address easy to find and remember. In Y!360, you can create a simple URL for that purpose. It shortens the web address so that it's easy to remember. You've done this already, so that's good. - Some services have RSS-capabilities. You can make your blog have a RSS button, enabling people to add it to their browser or newsreader's RSS list. RSS stands for real simple syndication, which allows users to see your blog in an aggregated form and not actually have to visit it. See more information here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/blog/blog-19.html and http://developer.yahoo.com/rss/ . RSS in Y!360 only works with "Public" blogs, and it is notoriously unreliable as a feature. 4. Consistently post interesting content - Mainly, the blog should be authentic. Your thoughts, your creative background, your interests - there's only one "you," so be expressive! I know, that's corny, but it's true. - Keep it updated. - Theme... is your blog a commentary on the latest news? Is it a diatribe about activities in your daily life? Is it only about your pet's quirks? A theme isn't necessary, but a purpose helps. Now, if you just want to write anything that comes to mind, well, try to make it sound like an interesting read. - A sense of fun - humor always helps. - Make sure that you are following 360 service guidelines regarding mature content. 5) Learn how to use features of the 360 space to help express yourself. **** 360 COMMUNITY GUIDELINES at http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/guidelines/guidelines-08.html **** HELP Pages: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/ **** The 360 team blog at http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360 has many helpful links on the right side to help with setting up a 360 space and using other services with it.
