OK I have a new blog called Everybody Blogs

This is a blog about anything other bloggers would like. Plus I do reviews and giveaways on it. I would like for it to attract other bloggers and families but for some reason it is not doing this. I am at a loss at to what I should do to change this. I thought of checking into some advertising for it but I am not sure what all I would need to look for or even what it might run me. Plus I am not sure if it is a good ideal for a blog or not. So today I found a site that I decided to check out and it has SEO services on it and I know this is a key thing for bloggers and I ran a free test on there site and my blog is not showing up. They have a 60 day trial period and I am wondering if I should check into it or not as I do not even have a page rank as of yet. Do you have any ideals or suggestions?

Plus I am having another issues with Mommies Point of View my Alexa ranking has been going back up and I am not sure why or how to fix it. I am a page rank of three and I would like to keep it or if possible to move down in the new year but once again with me not knowing what is going on here I am not sure how I can fix this problem either.

So my question is if I sign up to use this Advertising Agency is it going to help me build my stats. Will it help me gain more reviews and giveaways? Would it help me lower my Alexa ranking?Another question I have incase you think I should try this out is should I purchase my domain name and move from Blogger to wordpress or would it be OK to stay on Blogger and work with them? Should I start with Mommies since I already have a ranking with it or go ahead and use them for EverybodyBlogs?

Here I am still trying to finish up my Christmas Shopping!!

I am finally at the point where I just do not think it is ever going to be done. This week I am trying to focus on my husband and find things he would like. So since I know he Loves Coffee and that they will fit in his stocking I did a search online and I found a site that I think he will enjoy. If you also have a Coffee lover on your shopping list I hope you will check out there site and come back and share with me what you choose and why you choose it.

Thanks, Glenda, David and Charlie

Authors Point of View is not showing up in the search engines.

This is a blog I have had for over a year and when I go to check the stats they do not show up and I am wondering why. I know that my other two blogs do. I try and post on this one at least once a week. So I am wondering what I am doing wrong Could it be that this one is only for books? Is this why people do not visit it like they do the others?

What can I do to change this? I do author interviews and reviews as much as possible. Would adding videos make it more appealing? Or should I do reviews and giveaways on here as well?

I know that SEO makes a big difference and today while researching different companies I found one that says they can help build our stats through there SEO services but since I have not used one before I am a little leery of it. Can you tell me what you think about this and if I should try it out as it does cost and trying to build a blog on a budget is hard as I am never sure what I should or should not spend my money on.
I know that I would like to do reviews and giveaways but if I do not build my stats that it will not happen. So Please let me know what you think of this.
