I am now averaging about 100-150 hits a day, but I wanted to get some advice on how to bump up my traffic to 200-300 hits a day? Any help would be appreciated.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thetallgringo.com/">The Tall Gringo</a></p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Mike </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/what-precautions-can-you-take-to-avoid-inappropriate-twitter-followers#post-820 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 09:30:55 +0000 SarahQT 820@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Ok, I love Twitter but I don't love all the people that want to follow me. Umm, how can I put this. I had a person follow me on Twitter that is promoting "certain" services that are pretty much illegal in the States with the exception for a few states (think Nevada). How do I avoid these inappropriate Twitter followers in the future? </p> <p>I'm totally disgusted, upset, and not thrilled about this. I thought Twitter would have policies and procedures about what you can/cannot post on Twitter with regards to pictures and the like. Ugh! </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/how-to-re-tag-pictures#post-2294 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 00:29:46 +0000 Maria Staal 2294@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Dave and Deb talked about re-tagging pictures in a recent post on their site, and I have also read about it in the Suzy case studies, but I am still not entirely sure how to do it. </p> <p>When I uplaod a picture in WP, I can give it a title. It also is given (I think) a file URL.<br /> Is it the title that is picked up by search engines, or do I need to do something with the URL?<br /> For instance one picture URL on my site is: <a href="http://www.mariastaal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/pict-3-12-e1282228234306.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.mariastaal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/pict-3-12-e1282228234306.jpg</a><br /> Do I/can I change something in the URL or will it then all go wrong? And if I can, what do I do?</p> <p>I have given all my pitcures proper titles now (I often left it blank before), but I would like to know if I can do more with the pictures to get more traffic. </p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Maria </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/how-many-keywords-could-you-have#post-2288 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 07:50:56 +0000 SarahQT 2288@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>I'm testing out different keywords for my site. How many could you use?

Many thanks! </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/what-do-you-think-is-a-cliched-photo#post-2074 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 08:28:14 +0000 OnThaRoadAgin 2074@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Many travel writers take photos but some may be a bit too clichéd. What are some photos you've taken that fit into the "seen it before" category? Share. </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/whats-the-point-of-a-fan-page-on-facebook#post-2021 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 08:15:29 +0000 DuchessOfWriting 2021@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>I haven't started a fan page, and I'm not sure I will. But I'm wondering how people get all of those fans. What do you do? Do you allow "fans" to participate on the fan page? Is it worth the time and effort? What are the benefits/drawbacks? Please advise. Thanks. </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/the-secret-to-capturing-action-shots#post-2032 Thu, 10 Jun 2010 07:54:50 +0000 Richard 2032@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Are there any travel photographers out there? I dabble with photography but would appreciate knowing the secret to snapping <strong>action shots</strong> such as jumping in the air, kayaking, etc...How do you find the right angle? What about the light? What about timing? What is the best type of camera to use?

I haven't been on Facebook in awhile so I guess I'm out of loop. Does anyone have information on this? Thanks for sharing... </p>
