After creating your blog you have to make it effective. It is required that you know your readers intersts, to keep their visists regular.

One way to acheive that is to introduce polls on your blog. Polls are surveys of opinion using sampling. They can be about opinions or facts and are usually designed to represent the opinions of a population by asking a small number of people a series of questions and then extrapolating the answers to the larger group.

voto.void7.com is a free toll for people creating their own polls and have them on their blog or other sites, without requiring any programming.

* Free
* Simple to use

Add it to your blog. Ask your readers why the visit your blog. Know them. Understand them. Write to them.
