We all take pride in our posts and the content of our blogs and if we were just writing for ourselves, we'd have a private online journal versus a public web log, right? Consequently we, as bloggers, are looking for traffic to our blogs but not just people who are clicking through from one blog to the next - we want repeat traffic from people who come to our blogs, read our posts, and even sometimes - gasp! - leave a comment or two.<br /><br />One of the ways that we create traffic and keep people coming back is to write new content so that people have something to come back for but unless someone has subscribed to your blog in a reader or constantly check back on a regular basis, how do they know that a new post is up? What if there were an easier way to let people know that you've got new content? What if you could create a newsletter with a summary of what's new on your blog and then send it out on either a daily, weekly, or monthly basis directly to the email in-box of people you know are interested in reading your blog? And what if you could do all that for free?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Aws118bcuG8/SCd4KAYbUvI/AAAAAAAAC7I/nhNJz41ovtg/s1600-h/zookodaimage.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Aws118bcuG8/SCd4KAYbUvI/AAAAAAAAC7I/nhNJz41ovtg/s400/zookodaimage.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199256408119005938" border="0" /></a>Well, there is a way to do all that by simply registering with Zookoda, an email marketing application designed specifically for bloggers that sends quality email newsletters that help you promote and keep readers up-to-date with your blog directly to your reader's email boxes. <a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=2034&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zookoda.com" rel="nofollow">Zookoda</a> works with any existing blogs that are managed by Blogger, Yahoo! 360, MovableType, TypePad, WordPress, Bloglines or MSN Spaces and signing up is quick and easy. Once you register for an account, you identify which feed you wish to broadcast, select a template, schedule a broadcast, and then place a piece of code for a Zookoda subscription form on your blog. Your readers subscribe by entering their email address, Zookoda stores these details and adds them to your mailing list, and then you sit back and track the results. If you've got more than one blog, as many people do, you can manage, support and promote multiple blogs with just a single Zookoda account. The best part is - no hardware or software is needed to use Zookoda and you don't have to be an IT genius either!<br /><br />If you're looking for a great way to keep people apprised of what's going on with your blog and keep them coming back for more, then check out Zookoda and see what they've got to offer - it's free, it's easy, and it drives that all important traffic that we bloggers so love right to the place we want it to be - on our page!<br /><br /><a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/disclosure?slot_id=2034&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zookoda.com%2F%3Futm_source%3DSocialSpark%26utm_medium%3DDisclosure%252BBadge%26utm_campaign%3DZookoda%252BEmail%252BNewsletters" rel="nofollow"><img alt="Sponsored by Zookoda" src="http://socialspark.com/metrics/view/post?slot_id=2034&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fsocialspark.com%2Fuploads%2Fsocialspark%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdisclosure_badges%2F464%2Fred_disclosure_badge.jpg" /></a>Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05698969349369789642noreply@blogger.com
