		<description>Dave ~

I know... it is pretty crazy... 

I&#039;m not sure exactly how this happened!  Getting exposure on Stumble Upon has been a tremendous help for me - that&#039;s where the majority of my traffic comes from!  Jon gave me my first taste of the power of Stumble Upon when he stumbled one of my posts - wow.  That really kicked things off (Thanks Jon!)

This definitely caused me to take interest in SU and other social networking sites.  I&#039;m not even really working the social media angle because of time constraints.  Want to see one person who is really good at driving traffic?  Jon is the man - I would recommend check out and subscribing to his blogs at http://www.freelancefolder.com and http://www.smartwealthyrich.com for lots of great advice.  

I assume that the other thing is being active on other blogs with comments.  This kind of happened by accident.  Interacting with other bloggers through comments has helped me to meet a lot of people which have in turn linked to my blog from theirs.  

I also got a link on a very influential health blog that sent over 10,000 visitors to my site (not sure how he found me).  They weren&#039;t really targeted readers, but it certainly helped with exposure.  

So far, I&#039;ve also gotten a lot of positive feedback about the fact that my blog posts are from my own personal experiences vs. general information.  (Which you do as well - and that&#039;s awesome!) I&#039;ve tried to keep all posts honest and speaking only from my own experiences, and judging from the responses that I get through the contact form, I think this has helped a lot.  

I wish I could say that I knew the secret - but I&#039;m just as blown at having 449 subscribers in less than 3 months!

Hope this helps ~

		<description>I just want to be clear about this? You&#039;ve been around a little under 3 months and you&#039;ve already got 449 subscribers according to todays count? I am definitely doing something wrong. 

If you have any other advice beyond adding widgets and plugins, I&#039;d love to know. That&#039;s just insane to me.</description>
