The article gave excellent information on how to generate traffic to blogs. There are a lot of new things that I learned. The popularity of blogs has been increasing and it is the right time to promote sites using blogs. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks for the post - I'm new to blogging & struggling to generate traffic!

I've started working through your list....
- one thing I have noticed is that submiting to blog directories is extremely time consuming...

And what's the go with reciprocal links - do I really want a little icon from 500 blog directories on my site?!

Anyway, thanks..

Will keep trying!

I think a program like Roboform helps a lot if you are doing lots of directory submissions. There are even some free Firefox addons that help do form fills.

But you're right you don't want a big row of buttons either.

As buzzerhut mentioned, the "easiest" or "best" way to get traffic to your blog is to generate quality content.

Here's a couple of definitions of "quality":
1) It provides an answer to a problem (especially a painful, longterm or chronic problem).

2) It entertains. It doesn't have to be "ha ha" funny, but it should not be written like a PhD thesis.

3) It should be original. No one wants to read recycled, scraped, copy-and-pasted content.

4) It should be written in as simple and clear a manner as possible. That means reducing jargon to a minimum, using examples, and expressing an idea in as simple terms as possible (so more people can relate).

If you've mastered these "building block" principles of successful blogging, the other stuff (RSS, bookmarking, squidoo/hubpages, pingbacks/trackbacks, etc) are just a tool to bring more attention to your content.

One way to attract visitors that most people neglect is to deactivate the automated nofollow attribute for your blog comments.

Meaning, when people comment in your blog, they will get a backlink to their site. So people will most likely visit your blog and comment more often for their SEO benefits and your own traffic benefit.

No matter how wel you market your blog, you still need "a good product".

In other words, the first place to start is to write good, and unique content, as Andrewwee mentioned.

After that the marketing can start...

Good list of tips, by the way!

yes ... but just be on the watchout for spam ....


one thing i didn't see mentioned (i skim read but may have missed it) ... linking to other people's posts in your posts ... generally generates a trackback or pingback that shows at the bottom of their article, amazing how much traffic that can bring you!
