    please check out my first blog

    http://www.hotlesbiansandteens.com/

    There isn't much on it yet and I don't have any link trades. What else should I do before I ask people trade hardlinks?

    Thanks

    Make sure you've got some kind of counter to track the traffic.

    StatCounter provide a brilliant, free and invisible counter to track traffic for you.

      Add some blog directories for more traffic.
      Change that default Wordpress theme if possible.

        Whats wrong with server stats???

        I would change the default theme, other then that it looks ok. I am a fan of the one big picture under a few paragrahs of text.

          Nothing - if you know how to use them and don't need the impartial nature of a third-party to proove your traffic.

            I use statcounter as well as Server stats on all my sites, My server stats are 100% accurate where as my counter stats do not log all traffic.

              Maybe not, but they do provide an obvious impartiality that server stats cannot provide - which is useful if you are looking to sell your site, or sell advertising on it etc.

                I completly agree, though if I was buying a paid spot I would be going off Server stats not counter stats.

                  Good start. If you aren't going to change the template, at least get a custom header though.

                    Thanks for all the suggestions. I do want a different header, but kind of like the clean wordpress layout.

                    More comments are welcome!

                      You can still keep it clean, just spice it up a bit so it's not so generic.
