Increase blog traffic with social media links


Share



social
links
here
Want to increase traffic to a site or blog? You need to learn how to add a Facebook share link and a Twitter tweetme retweet link to your page!  See the two links that I have got above for facebook and twitter? Click them to see how they work! They are great, don't worry about all this SEO nonsense!!

I want people to see my blog and these social media links are a must have to increase your traffic.  I have had them for 2 days and I have already doubled my daily traffic. So, I thought i'd tell everyone about how I did it! I was unable to align the facebook and twitter icons horizontally but I eventually came up with the code to align them via the TABLE HTML code (fyi - they only align once people post them to facebook).

Now, to add both these links to your site or blog, simply copy and paste the code below into your HTML code of your site or your HTML editor of your blog.



<table width="30%">
    <tr>
        <td><a name="fb_share" type="box_count" share_url="PUT URL HERE">Share
<script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share"
        type="text/javascript">
</script></a></td>
        <td><script type="text/javascript">
tweetmeme_url = 'PUT URL HERE';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"  align="absmiddle"></script><br><br></td>
    <td><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://torkona.blogspot.com/">social<br>links<br>
here</a></span></td></tr></table>

Put the URL of the page that you want people to share or tweet wherever it says "PUT URL HERE".

If you have any problems, drop a comment below.  Have fun and good luck!

How to change your blogger background



How to change your blogger blogspot background

So, I've only had my blogspot for an hour, and I was already unhappy with my background.

I wanted to change it but couldn't figure out!  Well, here's how I did it, and it worked fine

1. Find a background photo that you wish to make as your background.  You can get this from anywhere (eg. Google Images) or you may already have it. 

2. Upload the image to an image sharing site (eg. photobucket.com) 

3. Follow image sharing site instructions to upload. Make sure you copy the URL of the picture

4. In Blogger, go to Design > Edit HTML

5. Be careful what you change from here.  In the text box, you need to find the section of coding which relates to the "body".  It will be nearby a section which will say "Content" that would look something along the lines as this:
/* Content
----------------------------------------------- */
body {
  font: $(body.font);
  color: $(body.text.color);
  background: $(body.background)
}
6. Where it says "background: $(body.background)"  replace those words as below where the word "LINK" is your URL to your picture:

/* Content
----------------------------------------------- */
body {
  font: $(body.font);
  color: $(body.text.color);
  background: url(LINK)
}

There you have it.  Hopefully I have explained myself correctly here.  I wanted to help other people as I had this problem.  If you're still confused, please let me know and I am glad to help.
