Bring Traffic To Your Blog

by Michelle MacPhearson on March 9, 2008

Here are a few of my favorite ways to bring traffic to your blog quickly and easily:

  • Submit posts to blog carnivals (really, it works)
  • Comment on other people’s blogs
  • Use Comment Sniper to comment on popular blogs
  • Have a link to your blog in forum and email signature lines
  • Add a video linking to your blog to video sharing sites
  • Link to other blogs in your niche in your blog posts - many will reciprocate
  • Submit your posts to social bookmarking sites with Web2Submitter
  • Submit your RSS feed to RSS directories with RSS Submit
  • Get a big ol’ nasty long ping list
  • Linkbait!  Say something controversial about a topic, person, or commonly accepted practice in your niche
  • Join a blog network like MyBlogLog; if there are networks specific to  your niche find and join them too
  • Twit your blog posts, blog your tweets
  • Post regularly
  • Translate your blog

“Comment on other people’s blogs” I am agree on this tips. But if you do not a good or relevant answer related to post then never comment. Because it looks like a spam comment.
