7 Steps to Getting Traffic to your Blog

I frequently see the question asked how can I receive more traffic to my blog? Whats the secret in getting traffic?

Here are some of the best and easiest ways to get traffic to your blog.

1. Traffic Exchanges

Traffic exchanges are the easiest way to promote your site if you have time. Most sites offer 1 view for 1 view. Each site you visit you will get one guaranteed. For my list of blog/traffic exchanges go here

2. Content/Keywords

To get repeat visitors, you must have good content and post almost everyday. The more you post etc, the more you are likely to get hits off of a search engine, usually Google. Your content should also include keywords related to your topic that people may be searching for.

3. Forums

If you are active on forums related to your topic, just attach your link to your signature. Don’t join a bunch of forums and spam, that may get you deleted and your posts removed.

4. Yahoo Answers, Mylot, Myspace

This is similar to forums but better. On these sites you can either create threads and discussions about your topic or respond. Make sure to leave a clickable link and good information to make people want to look at your site. On these sites you have the potential to get more people reading your replies or topics.

5. Link Exchange

Try to exchange a few links with blogs related to your topic or can somehow mesh well. It will be better for you to link with a more popular blog/site but thats not always possible.

6. Topsites

Its tough to get blog traffic, and I haven’t had much success with topsites in general. One particular topsite that has gotten me some traffic is Rhyswynne’s Topsite. It’s a nice little community, not an overgrown topsite where you only get traffic if you already have traffic.

7. Free Advertising

Free advertising?! Where? It does exist. It won’t cost you any money, but it may cost you time. Some places offer banner exchanges, or clicks for banner space. Whatever the case may be, it could bring you at least some traffic. Take advantage of any opportunity you find.

I hope these were helpful, if you have anymore questions feel free to ask!
