Bumper Sticker rant
So I'm not getting the traffic I would like to see for Bumper Sticker Rant. The first few months I was showing a nice trend in visitors, but last month I had a drop in visitor counts. And so far, this month isn't shaping up to look any better.
Now I was greeted last night with a little boost. Someone had dropped the rant url into the chat over at KoL. I think I know who it was, and thanks, but even still I only have about a third of the traffic over there as compared to here already this month.
SO to give you some numbers... Last month Daily Ramblings had 497 Unique Visitors. Now I know that included repeat visitors who didn't return in the specified returning time, but it's a respectable number. It shows a marked increase over June, and that is the trend that one would expect, and want, to see.
On the other hand... Bumper Sticker Rant had only 144 unique visitors, compared with 222 in June. Ouch! Decreasing numbers are never good.
So I need to figure out ways to bring up those numbers. I have considered contests. But I don't have any money for prizes right now.
Things that I'm already doing include... Putting business cards on the cars that I get pics from, having banners on this blog, my web site, and posts in forums. I also notified my local newspaper some months back when they were asking for reader blogs, and they have a link to the Rant on their website. I have also submitted to search engines.
Coming up, I'm going to revamp the signatures in my email and it'll get included in that. And eventually I'll get enough money to buy something from my own stores with the url so that I'll advertise more.
So do any of you have any good ideas for increasing traffic?

OK there was more on the end of that post. But for some reason the ends keep getting chopped off.
Pretty much the end asked if there were any content or loading issues that keep people from coming back.
Also anybody else having disappearing text issues? I've been losing the ends of my posts for three days now.
