Somehow over the past week I have gotten stuck on learning as much as I can about blogs and how they work, why people read them, what a good blog consists of, how to get more people to read the blog, etc....
Many people suggest that if you want to get more traffic you can add words to your blog just so people will visit, like pornography (to go to the filthy extreme) or impeach (to go to the political extreme) or Mario Vasquez (OK, I didn’t know who he was either, but apparently he quit American Idol back in 2005 and it was hot news.
Well, I’m not sure I’m willing to go so far as to try to find out how to get people here, because the focus of the blog is not to get people here just to flatter my ego or to gain sympathy. I really am on a mission to support adoptive parents and help prepare pre-adoptive parents for the lives that lie ahead.
Maybe I should use some key phrases “child available for adoption” (although maybe some people might think that the kids on my blog are available... would that be a bad thing??? of course it would ... sorry, I digress) or “let us help you find your child” or “let me point you to some waiting children.”
I think my best bet though, is in not trying to increase my blog traffic, but just making sure that you who are here have a reason to keep coming back.

Well, I don't know how much of your increased traffic is due to me, or how well that will be sustained, but I posted a link to your blog and others on

I love your blog. Can I put it on the Adoption Blog Central site?
