You know, as far as guest blogs...you could have your characters host your blog. I've done that a few times. It's soooo much fun! And, helps you get into the characters even deeper. :-) Great post.

But I try really hard to because those are the blogs I visit regularly...the ones with fresh funny content that update every couple of days. I don't mind if it isn't every day, because then I feel like I might miss something! I don't like it to be all serious and factual, either. I love sarcasm and wit, so those with a humorous take on life and writing will win my following every time. I tend to blog in spurts, when life gets crazy I have a hard time being consistent with it.

I like the way Books & Such invites comments. It brings me back a second time to see if any of the agents here have commented. I agree with the “short posts” suggestions.

I've also found that if you give something away, that'll increase traffic! I give away a box of books every month to one winner! For this month's giveaway, it's a box of Christmas novella collections...and boy, oh, boy, I've gotten a ton of response for that giveaway. I've found that traffic will increase for several days after I've posted the giveaway, and I'll even receive a few more comments on my blog posts after I've posted a book giveaway!

Ever since my boss showed me the wonder that is Google Reader, I am addicted to blogs. Pretty much all my favorites follow the guidelines you mentioned, and they also share a unique voice. If a blogger can make me laugh, they have officially wooed me. And they get added to my Google Reader. :) Thanks for the tips, Rachel!

I'm okay with an occasional long post, but I tend to skim a blog that is consistently long-winded.
