Avatars are the images of computer users found in computer games, internet forums or blogs. Three dimensional avatars are used in games and cartoons, while two dimensional ones are followed in internet forums. The idea had its origin in Hindu traditions where, as the myths goes, god took birth in many avatars or forms to meet specific purposes, but in anonymity.

But today, the word is more relevant in the computer field. Avatars are now the representations of the personality, interests, thought patterns, beliefs etc of an online forum. Three dimensional avatars are mostly animated ones. Avatars help create an individuality to an otherwise faceless blogger.

Avatars have been made very popular by some message providers like Yahoo. These ubiquitous virtual images can be designed in such a way to match your looks, personality etc, but without giving away your real identity.

Want more traffic to your blog? Every blogger wants that, and since traffic is relatively easy to get, let’s look at three easy ways in this article.

1. Add Content: More Content Equals More Traffic

The more content on your blog, the more traffic you will get, even if you do nothing else at all to attract traffic. This is because the search engines love blogs. You’ll find that once your blog is indexed in the search engines it’s crawled many times a day. This means that you can make a post, and get traffic to your blog within half an hour.

Adding content is the most important thing you can do to get more traffic to your blog.

Have you ever visited a blog and saw one of those “advertise” pages? Let me tell you what this is all about.

First of all, that is a private page related to advertising on that blog. That means that advertisers can go over there and buy advertisement spots available on the blog.

It can be a banner, link or even a review. Every single advertisement spot has its own price range and every single ad spot is limited. Also the ad may last for a day, month, year or even permanently. The longer it stays on the blog, the more money it costs.

This is also a win-win situation. The advertiser is getting more exposed, and the blogger is making money. These pages can turn out to be really profitable sometimes. In fact, you can have your own private “advertise” page in a matter of minutes.
