   Hi,
   I'm working on ways to increase traffic to my site. What are some good plugins or ideas to use with my wordpress account.

   Here's one starting point--Search_Engine_Optimization_for_WordPress.

   One slightly unrelated thing you should consider:

   The images on your website are not optimized. Each is over 100KB! One of the things that repel visitors is a slow loading page. So you may want to optimize your images before uploading them. Right now it doesn't make much of a difference, but if/when your blog starts to get a large amount of traffic - all the concurrent connections will slow down your site to a crawl if the images aren't optimized. Optimizing will also save you bandwidth costs (of course that will only be a thing to consider if your site grows so popular that you need dedicated hosting).

   Thank you both for the info. I will learn more about optimizing and work on that. What are your thoughts on Stumbleupon.com advertising through google? I just found it today. I'm kind of confused about how it works. It says it's 5 cents per visitor. Does this mean I get charged 5 cents every time a visitor comes to my site that stumble upon referrals? Here is the link to stumble upon:

   Thanks again for the help!
