Drive traffic to your BLOG: 15 easy free & low cost ways to drive more traffic to your BLOG starting today!by Bryan Winters 1.) Create at least two keyword posts per day. Most of the top BLOGS such as Boing Boing, Daily Kos, and Instapundit (with literally tens of thousands of visitors per day) publish an average of 30 small 100-150 word posts per day according to "Secrets of the A-list Bloggers: Lots of Short Posts" by TNL.net
InfoGoRound.com (http://www.infogoround.com) offers hundreds of fresh new private label articles each month - perfect for ready-made BLOG content! 2.) Submit to My Yahoo! When you submit your own RSS feed to My Yahoo it is usually indexed by Yahoo. 3.) Submit to Google's Reader. When you submit your own BLOG RSS to Google's Reader the Google Blog Search should index your site. 4.) Add a relevant link directory to your BLOG and trade links like a mad man! Although it may take more time than simply submitting to a search engine one time, this method is perhaps the best way to drive traffic to your site. Use software such as Zeus to speed up the link trading process. 5.) Use ping sites like ping-o-matic. Ping your site every time you add a new post! 6.) Submit your BLOG to traditional search engines such as AltaVista and MSN. 7.) Submit your BLOG to traditional directories such as DMOZ. Directories (particularly DMOZ) increase relevance with Google. DMOZ is very picky, but what do you have to lose by trying? 8.) Submit to as many RSS Directories and Search Engines as possible. This is a simple but repetitive process that can be done with software such as RSS SUBMIT. 9.) Comment on other BLOGS. Do not just leave short, lazy comments like "I agree." Leave well thought out replies that will force readers to wonder "who wrote this?" 10.) Use track backs. If there is a BLOG that you refer to or quote, and it is highly relevant to your subject, leave a track back. It increases your link popularity and may even score a few interested readers from the linked site. 11.) Go offline. Use newspaper ads, public bulletin boards, business cards, even stickers to let as many people as possible know your BLOG exists. 12.) Add a link to your BLOG in your e-mail signature block. 13.) Use Groups (Usenet). Find a relevant group on Google groups, Yahoo groups, MSN groups or any of the thousands of other FR'EE group services and find like-minded people and talk with them. Make sure to use your BLOG URL as your (instead of) your name. 14.) Use Forums. Forums are one of the best places to go for advice. Go to forums and find problems to solve. Make sure you leave your BLOG name, but be tactful about it; some forums get annoyed with those who selfishly drop a few links to their own site and leave. 15.) Tag your website. Tagging is a new idea that has erupted across the web. Sites like Del.icio.us, Technorati and many others have a social feature that allows you to place your article under keywords or "tags" that everyone interested in, that the tag can see. Although these are some of the most popular ways to drive traffic to your BLOG, do not *limit* yourself to them. Use your imagination and you will come up with dozens of additional ways to drive traffic to your BLOG! And remember, traffic = profit! Here For Your Success, -Bryan Winters P.S.
