You spend countless hours, researching information to add to your blog; you start to find gadgets and widgets that you think would fit good on your blog. Then as fast as your readership grew, things begin to plateau and your numbers start to slow down.You have no idea as to why your readership has stop growing but you think you can solve the problem by adding better content and putting advertisement on your blog; Surely that will solve the problem.
Unfortunately you are doing the worst thing possible, most readers don't want to see a bunch of advertising and gadgets when they are viewing a blog. They want to get clear cut information without a bunch of clutter. The solution is not trying to get the same readers that have already visited your page to do the same everyday, it is going out in the public and find new prospects to visit your site. Visit Vista Print and other sites that offer affordable promotional items. Use those items and find areas where people who are more likely to find your blog useful might be. For example if your blog is about families, careers or skateboarding you want to promote near parks, career centers or skate parks. It would be a good idea to find the cost to advertise on local media. Once you are able to increase your readership you want to start networking with bloggers with similar interest and possibly send traffic to each others sites.
