The key to having a blog be useful and successful is networking. You need to make sure that you get as many links as possible to your blog so that you will have a stream of visitors who read what you spend your time writing and so that your blog will rank higher in the search engines and have a higher page rank.

Here are some key tips to help you build your blog visitor traffic and rank. Moms Wear Your Tees Blog uses all of these links and more.

1. Submit to every directory you can find!
Here are some to start with:

2. Create a Blog Button and get it out there.
Create your own button or get one designed for you. Once again networking and getting onto people's blog rolls is key.

3. Join some Blogger social networks.
There are loads of ning networks were you can get your blog listed and make blogger buddies. You can also join CafeMom, Mom Bloggers Club, Blog Frog and the Mom Blog Network.

4. Visit other blogs that follow them if you like them.  Then leave comments letting the blogger know you enjoy their articles and you are following them.  Mostly, they will return the favor and it leaves a backlink to you.  Be sure to notice cool widgets and other networking tools while you are there!

5.  Be sure that you have a social media sharing widget or button installed.  There are several free options, you can check out http://sharethis.com/ as one.  This increases traffic by allowing others to share your links.

This should give you a good starting place for networking your blog to get maximum results from your posts.

Happy blogging!
