    Hi all
    I am 6 months old in blogging and very new to all of these. And i was a silent reader in this forum. Now i really like to know what kind of effort you put to bring traffic for your blog?

    Average visitors for my blog will be 15 / day. My Blog is http://todays-trends.blogspot.com

    Apart from Social bookmarking, Please suggest me some advice from your side to increase the traffic.

    1. Because the day you stop posting your blog in facebook or orkut, the visitors coming will be less.
    2. I am not sure about article writing in ezine and any where else as i dont have enough ranking for this blog.

    Please let me know your thoughts.

    Thanks
    asinits

    Hi there asinits,

    That's what i felt too when my blog was new. At the moment when i stop commenting in forums, or yahoo answers, my visitors are less LOL. But it will get better when you get more posts and traffic engines traffics.

    I personally like to have search engine traffics, because they find your sites through keywords and those are targetted traffics.

    The most cool thing is they come everyday without you doing posting in social media or commenting in forums.

    Although social media and networking is very important.

    Here is what i did in my blog.
    1. Create posts regularly and these should be quality content. Why? because when your post is useful to others, people will link your post everywhere, can be on their sites, forums, etc. Free links!
    2. Optimizing your site for SEO, and the theme (yes it matters to me, the cleaner your code, the more smooth search engines bots crawling and fetching your site content).
    3. Submitting your site to websites directories,and dofollow bookmarking sites(i don't do it anymore now, as i have no time, but we should! :( )
    4. Article submission.
    5. Guest posting.
    6. What flowerwedding already mentioned :-D

    Good luck with your new blog! (although i recommend you get your own domain and hosting before doing link building)

    Agree. These are exactly what's on my mind. But first learn more about SEO and you will know other ways to gain traffic on your website

    To get a bigger traffic to your blog share it in the Social Media sites like Facebook, include signature in Forum posting, post unique content in Article submission sites, Social bookmarking too. Do all these work in high PR sites. I also suggest you to create RSS feed for your blog & add it in your blog. Using this your blog visitors will subscribe for that. For that you have to update your site frequently then only your subscribers will get a news letter about your update. Doing, all these surely you will get a tremendous traffic.

    I receive on an average 5 - 6k unique visitors a day. There are lot many techniques i use to get quality traffic.

    - I have a regular posting frequency for my blog
    - I write quality, unique content for my visitors
    - Having a neat email subscription list of 16 - 20k users that i have gradually improved over many years but is my biggest asset after my content
    - Be active on good forums and similar niche blogs
    - Interact with your visitors
    - Use Twitter, FB, Stumble, Reddit, Technorati, Digg effectively
    - Interlink within posts to old posts
    - Show related posts
    - Promote old posts
    - Use feedburner

    And Enjoy your blogging!! Dont force your self. These are the few methods i could quickly recollect what i do for Successful ProBlogging.

    cheers
    Josh

    for starter, keep writing unique content and frequently updating will help google ranking for long term.
    use social networks, forum posts, blog comments, article submission will draw a lot of attention for your site as well.

    Just focus on unique content (400-500 word articles/posts, the more the better) and commenting on other niche related blogs and you will easily get there.

    Although there are plenty of ways to drive traffic to your blog, the most reliable ways are article marketing, reciprocal links and discussion forums (like this)
