Under this point think it is important you know that if you have a blog stached with a lot of banners and text ads for programs you are promoting like affiliate and pay per click your site might be perceived  as over-commercialized. i can bet with you that giving your visitors this kind of impression is not what you want at all 

(6) LET YOUR BLOG COME ALIVE.

Here what you are expected to do is to make sure there are com ments on the thred on you blog. you can initiate this or get others to do this for you. if you want to do this just write your opinion on the article you have pasted and in that way visitors find it easier to make comments and they tend to come back you can get a friend to do this for you or pay some one to do this-on this point if you have paid for the first few post then you can just stop paying because at this stage the process as been started and so it is easier to get the desired action fron your subsequent visitors.
