Let's face it;  if your audiences's attention span is not held within 1-5 seconds then YOUR BLOG IS A GONER!   

To hold peoples attention and get them to interact with you is almost an artform these days.  The object is to connect with as many people as possible and at the same time keep it entertaining. Put videos from youtube.com on your blog; political jokes are frowned upon, but CONTROVERSY IS GOOD ON THE INTERNET.   For example, click here

To start, lets examine how your blog looks.  You need to look at other blogs that are doing well and in the true entrepreneur tradition, copy the model, refine it and make it your own and better than before!

First step is to visit: http://feedjit.com/ get a traffic widget and register and get the code for your website and then go to your active rain page and click on to your settings and install the code in the area that says "Blog Description" this will get traffic to your site and it is effortless. look at some of the top sites on the internet and you will see how it works. Then go to BLOGRUSH to add even more traffic inducing widgets to your site.

BUT DONT STOP THERE!  CLICK HERE FOR THE LARGEST COLLECTION OF LOGOS, FREE BUTTONS, MENUS, AND BACKGROUND TEXTURES ON THE INTERNET

Build banner and buttons here and upload them to your site or blog!

Second Step Is to go to the Blog customization website that teaches you to  use The Active Rain Custom Blog Builder

Once you get this down, add google adwords to your site to put a little coin in your pocket!

Finally: To Learn about Search engine optimization and how to get better rankings on google, click where the cool chick is pointing!  Also Just remember in Life,  Don't hate the Playa... Hate the game! hehe

My famous words are "Pimping ain't easy".  You have destroyed the myth with this blog.  I've been considering changing my title on my business card to read PIMP, but the elder ladies at my church have instructed me not to do it.  I though is made sense and would be catchy, Premier Internet Marketing Professional.

To me that would be cool with a green hat, shoes and a fly 3 piece suit with the bling bling to match.

Double Wow!  I will have to come back and read our blog in its entirety because I just spent an hour on one link.  There is a quite a bit of info to absorb.  Thanks for sharing and taking the time.

I can't believe how much information there is to go through.  This will definitely take some time to go through.

Thanks Steve.  Great blog!

Will do.  Just a note... while the cityscape is MAGNIFICENT, your blog took longer to load than any other on my computer.  Probably just my hard drive, but as you say, people have short, short, short attention spans  Definitely worth the wait though to get the info.

Steve - I've noticed that a lot of "Totally Pimped" blogs take a long time to load up.  Any stats on how patient people will be before going to the next blog?

Steve - don't get all hurt, my comment wasn't aimed at you anyway.  The point I was trying to make (and perhaps explained poorly), is that some ways of making a webpage look great can actually work the reverse of the way you want it to.

Sorry if I seemed like I was pointing at you.
