FEW QUESTIONS ?????
Hi evryone,
I had started blogging exactly 1 month back. Their are few questions in my mind, which if you answer would help me very much.
1. Why is traffic to my blog very low? Just 130 hits in 1 month.
2. When would my indirank appear?
3. What is blogroll and how do i add blogs to it?
4. Should i change the topic of my blog or start writing about everything?
5. How could i promote my blog further?

130 hits in a month is good progress according to me. After three months I have got only about 60 hits to my blog as per Google Analytics.
Advertise your blog through various blog aggregators like IndiBlogger, BlogCatalogue, etc. If you google for blog aggregator you will get a dozen more.
Keep your blog address in your email signature.
Use social networking sites like Facebook to publicize your blog.
Participate actively in forums like this one and many more that you might be a member of and discreetly publicise your blog in these forums.
And above all give top quality content on your blog. That is the best way to make it popular.
Find a niche for your blog and keep it focussed on it.
Good luck.
After seeing your blog, my comment is that it is focussed on a very narrow interest area - korean films. Am I right?
Since these films are not widely screened in India, and probably are also not widely available through DVDs, etc., there wouldn't be many people who would have seen them. So interest in your blog too would be limited.
One way to get over this difficulty would be to educate readers about Korean films, actors, directors, script wriers, etc. by writing posts on all these subjects. This is for the long haul. Gradually people will develop a taste for this type of films and become regular visitors to your blog.
If you are not prepared to wait that long, I would suggest that you expand the ambit of your blog to include Bollywood films, and may be Hollywood, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam film as well.
This will immediately increase your readership.
Also think of icluding trailor clips in your post of the films you are discussing.
130 is not bad at all. And considering your blog is a very niche one, this to me is a reasonable figure.
I guess your blog audience will be less but very loyal one. You may think of increasing the breadth of topics but keep it to movies only.
Leave comments on blog which are similar to your blog. Promote your blog through social media - Facebook, Twitter. Try to build a community around your blog topic.
IndiRank - Only IB guys will be able tell you this.
130 is quite good actually. I started off with 130 after 1 year!!! So, you should be happy about it. As you build up, you will start getting more hits. Just make sure you keep Blogging...
Thnx everyone... these are quite good tips and motivation...
