"How to Get Blog Traffic"

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A blog
• A blog obsession

1. Step 1
   

   Blog regularly. The more you post, the better chance you have to reach a wider variety of readers.

2. Step 2
   

   Add the blog to blog search engines. There are dozens of blog search engines out there and more being added everyday. Create a good, concise description for your blog, as well as relevant keywords.

3. Step 3
   

   Add the blog to toplists. Put the link to the toplist on your blog: every time someone hits the link, your blog moves up in the ranks.

4. Step 4
   

   Write comments on other people’s blogs. People are always grateful for a comment. More often than not, they’ll click on your link and return the favor.

5. Step 5
   

   Comment on people’s comments. A blog is meant to be a community. Respond directly to people’s comments—either in the comments or in a new blog post. This will engage readers so they’ll come back more often.

6. Step 6
   

   Post on forums. If you write a niche blog, post answers to questions on forums—be sure to put your blog address in your signature. Don’t spam forums—make sure your posts are relevant.

7. Step 7
   

   Write to other bloggers suggesting a link trade. Put up a link list of your favorite blogs and let those bloggers know about it. They might just reciprocate.
