This is how I use my personal blog to send hits to my Triond articles every day.
Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette is my personal blog. I’ve been blogging 13 months now. It has 1,000 posts on it. Even though I now spend almost all my computer time on Triond, my personal blog sends traffic to my Triond content every day.

When I’m blogging on the Gazette I blog about anything I want to; but every time I get an article published by Triond I put a link to the article on my blog. The blog is set up in three columns. In the middle which is the widest column is what I post. In the column on the left are the categories, recent comments by visitors, the number of blog hits and things like that.
In the right column are the hyper links to my individual Triond content. When visitors clicks on one of these hyper links they go straight to that title on Triond. I get a hit. I make money. My personal blog is my own online marketing business. I also have links to my Triond content in what I post in the middle column, too.
In the right column you will find the general headings: Blogging For Fun And Profit, Great American Flash Fiction Stories To Read and More Flash Articles.
Blogging on my personal blog use to be my main focus. Then I found that I could get more page views for my Triond content by just being more involved in the community. So I focus on Triond.
But blogging on my personal blog is still fun. And best of all the Gazette is mine. How much traffic do I send to my Triond content? Three hits a day.
Don’t laugh. That’s 90 hits a month. In a good month the hits can go as high as 150.

Great read guy! you keep it going!
October 22nd, 2009 at 7:20 am
every click adds up!

Good article.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:53 am
Useful information. Thank you
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:25 am
I’ve been doing the same thing with my blog–hopefully driving more traffic to Triond.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:43 am
I agree that though it’s 3 day. after a month it’s still a couple of cents.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:34 am
cutedrishti8, it’s the easiest way to promote your Triond content.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:40 am
lillyrose, now I might publish something on my blog once or twice a week but that’s all I really need to do. It’s already set up with 1,000 postings. It pretty much runs itself.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:45 am
I have the Triond Widget on my blog so it updates the list each time I add new content to Triond. I agree with you even a fairly small amount of traffic to Triond is worth having.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:50 am
Petalm, a hit here and a hit there. It all adds up. My personal blog pretty much runs itself now.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:55 am
chitragopi, one of the things I like best about the Gazette is that I can publish the work of other flash fiction writers.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:02 am
Papa, I guess you know that your Triond Dashboard will let you know exactly how many hits you are getting from your blog. It is on the chart.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:06 am
Jane Jane, and if I invest a little extra time in my blog I can easily make it five hits a month.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:12 am
Frances, I wanted to do the same thing but as far as I can tell I can’t put a widget on the version of WordPress that I have.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:15 am
Jane Jane, of course I mean five hits a day for a month.
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:16 pm
Thanks for the information. I finally gave my blog up as it was not working well for me. I guess I really did not know how to use it.
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Nice article!
October 22nd, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Nice your write having other things to advertise your triond account helps
October 22nd, 2009 at 5:55 pm
PR, a personal blog can take a lot of time. The Gazette was well established before I joined Triond. Now I just let the Gazette run itself.
October 22nd, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Sourav, no matter what a reader reads in the Gazette the reader is surrounded with links that will take the reader straight to one of my articles or flash fiction stories on Triond. I get a hit.
October 22nd, 2009 at 6:05 pm
royee, the Gazette has turned out to be a great marketing tool. The more time I put in the Gazette the more hits it sends to my Triond account.
October 22nd, 2009 at 6:15 pm
3 extra hits can only be good.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:06 am
I’m with Ruby–every hit counts.
October 24th, 2009 at 10:45 am
Ruby, at the end of the month they all add up.
October 24th, 2009 at 10:49 am
WriteEditSeek, and if I can find the time to work on my personal blog those numbers go up; but I have to put in all my time on Triond. Triond is my money maker.
October 24th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
This is interesting and good advice, but I don’t think i want to get a blog.
October 24th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
Very nice concept my friend. Is wordpress a free blogsite like blogger.com? I have visited your site’s lay out and I’m making some serious thoughts myself.
October 24th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
I am new to all of this. Every bit of info helps. I am going now to look for these other sites you have mentioned.
thnx
October 24th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
Same as Snooky.Thanks for the share.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
deklin, that’s what’s so great about Triond. You can use Triond as your personal blog.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
deep blue, yes Wordpress is free but I don’t use my personal blog anymore. It still sends me hits because there are 1,000 posts on it. So I may publish something once a week. But now I just blog on Triond. Triond is now my blogging platform.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Snooky, if you do not already have a personal blog just use Triond as your personal blog.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
wonder, if you do not already have a personal blog just use Triond as your personal blog. My personal blog was already set up with around 800 posts when I joined Triond. But if I did not already have a blog I would just use Triond as my blogging platform.
October 26th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
3 hit’s a day is better than nothing! Nice write.
October 26th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
I added the widget to my blog,The Bo Jack Express,your way sounds like it might work better.
October 26th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
Thanks…
