Managing the Tech Startups Series

[rumbling drums]

Have you ever wondered: how to increase traffic to your blog? What defines a successful blog in terms of traffic? What tools can be used to increase it? and foremost, how can you monetize it?

Well, apparently Julio Alonso, an avid blogger himself, has a trick or two under his sleeve and can provide a very useful insight. He is the founder of Weblogs SL, the leader company of weblogs in Europe and Latinamerica.

He loves his blog Merodeando, but he loves even more his clients' blogs. Weblogs SL has over 40 specialized weblogs that generate over 14 gazillion million unique monthly users. Yep, 14 million, verified by Nielsen. (15.8 January 2011) Oh did I mention Weblogs SL also provides consultancy services to companies that want to manage their brand on the blog sphere.

As part of our Managing the Tech Startups guest series, Julio Alonso will be the first one. A couple of questions come to my mind:
 - with the incorporation of new reader technology (e.g. Ipad) can blogs benefit to enrich their content?
 - as people spend more time on social platforms,what efforts is Weblog currently undertaking to deviate traffic to their blogs?
 - can you help Jacobo Molins blog have more traffic?

Today (March 16th) we have a meet&greet (yes... like rockstars) so send your questions around 13:30 CET or @565 beat (that's to 90's) my twitter @pabesteves

I'll try to answer the first two in the class. The third one might be a bit hopeless :)
