		<description>My blog relatively new as well and trying to get the word out about is definitely challenging business to someone that is new to blogging.  I've thought about a contest in the future, but for now I'm sticking with content/design/link building.  Hopefully that's the right approach for now.  

I enjoyed your site and have added your RSS.</description>

		<description>" ...take up offers of other high traffic sites on their review offers... "
Hi there,
If I'm interpreting your words above, does this mean that some blogging communities will review a person's blog?

I've just started and am trying to get traffic to my site, but it doesn't seem to be happening.

Thank you very much for your time and comments.

		<description>I thought about running a contest but with few regular visitors it would be pointless. There's no harm in trying though. Good luck with your blog.</description>

		<description>As a newbie blogger, I'm amking quite a few mistakes myself. But maybe one of the big guys will vote us "Most Screwed Up Bloggers" and get us a lot of attention.

In the meantime, hang in there.</description>

		<description>Join the club.   My stupid &lt;a href="http://www.theadambox.com/2007/03/27/5-every-hour-for-8-hours/" rel="nofollow"&gt;contest&lt;/a&gt; was pretty much a failure do to the lack.  I have to rethink my strategy and maybe I can shoot for the &lt;a href="http://bobmeetsworld.com/bet-you-cant-do-this-for-25/" rel="nofollow"&gt;10,000 hits in a few hours that Bob&lt;/a&gt; got.  Anyways. We are in it together to try and get higher views.  Good Luck

		<description>I guess my point was that a new site like mine shouldn't try to run a contest / challenge until there is reasonable traffic coming.  Most people, including myself, don't have the time to devote to promoting a contest/challenge to make it successful.</description>

		<description>Hi Nathan,

I am sorry I missed your offer, but don't be too hard on yourself. Blogging takes a lot of work, time, and contacting of other people to make it a success. 

I officially got started blogging in December 2005 and have been spending several hours per day on it ever since (I manage 8 blogs). Still, it is the contact with other bloggers that helps to build your site, so keep at it and you'll do very well.

I'll be back to read some more stuff too.

Regards,
MattK
