You really need to have a domain blog to get decent traffic. Also you should definitely not delete any old posts. Most of your traffic will come from search engines, and old posts are what will do this for you.

Here are a few more tricks you might try. Blogging is not an exact science, so try a few different things.

1. Get backlinks to your site, by talking about your site on other sites. Join discussion forums that allow you to have a profile with a webpage link.

2. Get the Orble community involved. Comment on their articles, or send a private message asking them to visit your page. This works great with other people in your own Category, like Technology.

3. Weak content is better than no content, but good content is best. Proofread your work, grammar please! (I haven't seen your posts, but judging by your post here) Don't delete the old stuff unless it's unavoidable.

those are just some starting tips. Try to read up on Search Engine Optimization too.

hi techman,

it will probably take at least 3 months or blogging 4-5 times a week to get any significant traffic

the older your posts are the more likely they are to register in google searches, so never delete anything old

if you can get a post on the most popular list on the orble homepage it will also be displayed on every other individual blog on the network, creating the maximum amount of links, so try to mingle with the other users

heres a few general tips:

1) include an interesting picture and use the title and caption in the picture upload to use as many descriptive keywords as possible . . . this will increase google image traffic

2) use the "short url" to insert descriptive keywords about the content, use the post title as an eye-catching heading that plays on words or sparks curiousity

3) always fill in the tags

4) submit interesting or unique posts to StumbleUpon, Furl, Digg etc, and adjust your settings to "display add-to buttons" (under "Modify") so others can submit your posts too

5) make some of your posts refer to issues that are currently being discussed in the news, it does not have to be the primary topic, but sometimes a line or two referring to a celebrity or event which is popular or contoversial can boost search results (eg: which computer games do Obamas daughters or Miley Cyrus play? is a certain technology shown in a film or on a tv show?)

good luck!

When starting out it can be a good thing to make multiple posts a day until traffic starts up, and then when you see semi-steady traffic, at least 3 posts a week.

Also, like Jon said, it's not a good idea to delete any old posts.

And, as a side note from a person with a tech blog, it can be hard to get traffic for technology and gadgets, as there are already so many places on the web that offer tech information, most of which already have high pageranks and many backlinks.
