How to bring traffic to your site

So you want to increase your traffic to your site? You have a well designed site, a well written piece every single posting, or features numerous useful items, or opinions, only that it is just sitting there--doing nothing. This is exactly I have been wanting before until I found this TrafficG. TrafficG.com is a traffic exchange program like you view other people`s sites, and in return they will view yours. It`s a free method of getting traffic to your site and boosting search engine ranking.

How this one works? TrafficG claims to have a 1 to 1 ratio, meaning for every visit you make, you get one visitor in return. Initially you may find this method to be time consuming as TrafficG is a 30 second visit, now this can be looked at in a positive way. You will view, or maybe just stare at the screen for 30 seconds before visiting the next blog. But, this applies to the visitor to your site as well. It may even allow them to find something at your site they may be interested in.

You may take a look and see what you think of it.

Catching Louis Vuitton in Orchard Road

On the night of my regular monthly errand and after completing my transaction at the Lucky Plaza, I did not immediately went home but decided to stay for awhile and laze around in the vicinity. I chose the spot fronting the Tangs Mall just behind the underpass entryway to the mrt. There I stood pretending I was waiting for someone. I don't usually do this kind of thing but that night was an exception just to broke the monotony of the usual. I ended up people watching and proved to be engaging. A couple Caucasian tourist were taking their pictures in front of the mall unmindful of their audience who are group of local students trying to make fun of the couple's behavior. A couple popping cigarette and trying to outdo each other by blowing the smoke the farthest. But what struck me was this young couple pitting right close near to where I stand, and we're not even in a crowded place. Was I being enticed by this couple to join them later? This question crossed my mind only after they left, talking about slow clue getter.

After they left, my attention was diverted to what's going on at the other side of the road. From where I stood, it appears to me that the Louis Vuitton store in the soon to open Ion Orchard mall has been launched. I got curious to what going on, I crossed street and seated in one of the bench nearby. It was a glitzy affair, the guests must be the who's who in high society, were wearing all black ensemble, and one by one being photographed infront of a wall bearing the store name and logo similar to a oscar award night, though I have not recognized any one in the crowd. This Louis Vuitton store is the biggest store in Southeast Asia, and the store exterior feature a custom-made curved glass facade inspired by the 'folds of a scarf' which is attached on the ceiling so it appears to be hanging, truly a unique one.

The Ion Orchard mall will soon to open later this month, and judging from the high end store names plastered on the facade, this mall will definitely stand out among the existing ones along this shopping strip. Another feather for Orchard Road, being synonymous with shopping. Tourist brochures refer to it as the "Fifth Avenue, the Regent Street, the Champs Elysées, the Via Veneto and the Ginza of Singapore". Huge malls selling everything you can imagine line the road.

But at present the whole stretch of Orchard road is undergoing enhancement works. These works will be completed maybe before the year end, so its not really enjoyable to leisurely stroll at this time. Part of this enhancement, were these glass installations along the sidewalk which looks nice at night with all the neon lights attached to it, but would it be safe to have it in a crowded sidewalk?

While inside the mrt on my way home, I still into it, the people watching. What caption can you make with this picture?

Why I cannot post pictures in Blogger?

When I add pictures from my computer, I can upload it and image appears after that, but after I click the button done nothing appears on my post page.

Why is this?

*****

Its been days that I cannot post pictures on my blog. That's why I decided to post this question to solicit some answers and hoping someone can help me. At the same time I am searching the world wide web to look for the answer to this problem. But it seems I am the only one having this problem and no one have experience this before. Though I read similar queries from the forums I have visited, no replies has been posted so far. As Sherwin of Mokong (Anu'ng Nasa Isip ko) blog suggested, I checked the setting preferences and looked for the clue that might help me find the answer. After few times manipulating and clicking, answer was nowhere to find, lol (thanks anyway tol)

Then I resorted to finding the answer on my own. I checked if I have exceeded the alloted amount of pictures to be posted. The photos that are uploaded through blogger get stored in the picasa web albums. I am using the Picasa web album to store my pictures and little did I knew that it filled up space too. I have so far occupied 33% of the alloted space and 75% of this for my stored pictures. I decided to delete all the pictures I have stored instead of the option to upgrade my quota storage, so it now reduce to 12% . But this also did not solve my problem. I still cannot post pictures after few tries with time interval.

My last resort was to reset the template and be prepared for the consequences of redoing all the items I have modified. Obviously it worked. Now I can post pictures once again.

Up to now, I don't have a clue what was the cause of the problem. Can someone speak up or forever I will be in dumb amazement.
