Tonight we’ll be discussing various ways of attracting readers, highly targeted and shotgun effect, to your blog. We’ll also add the caveat “without spending any extra cash” as on buying clicks or placing ads that cost more than you want to spend.

Ken Cook will be facilitating and you will be bringing the knowledge with you. We’ll have about 6 statements/questions as topic starters and the conversation, as always, will get lively from there.

You will need a Twitter account to participate but you can watch without one at http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23tuethun although the best way is with a third party application like http://tweetgrid.com/grid?l=1&q1=twitter&q2=%23tuethun or by going to http://tweetchat.com/room/tuethun where you will not have to enter the hashtag (#tuethun) every time you tweet!

See you there.
