    Hi everyone,
    I've got a blog about SEO, web marketing and blogging at: http://www.akosblog.com and I need traffic.
    I'm trying to get traffic from lots of sources:
    -Commenting
    -Link exchange
    -Social bookmarking
    -Search engine optimization
    But they don't really work. Could you give me tips and suggestions!

    Why don't you spend around $8 a month and get a real domain name and hosting.
    When I see blogspot in the link I always think of some type of horrible looking geocities website that I don't care to visit.

    What Rick said. Buy a domain name and set up a wordpress site. Do some keyword research and find a non-competitive keyword and buy a domain name with that keyword in it. Will get far better results.

    You could also try "article submiting". By the way the things you are already doing should be more than enough, but you need to keep it calm, sometimes results take their time, but be steady and while at it just try to verify if you are doing everything correct.

    SEO and Link building takes a lot of time and patience.

    I agree with keyword research etc. but I think blogger is fine as far as search engine ranking is concern. In fact, blogger's blog rank really well on search engine, better than poorly set up wordpress.

    I know this is counter intuitive but recently Dylan Loh comfirm this in his non im riches sales video. So, IMHO, using blogger is okay.

    Maybe it's just me, but it seems if you have a website about SEO you should be able to get traffic using SEO.

    Best advice I ever got regarding traffic is to boil it down. Figure out how much traffic you'd like to see in order to get things rolling. Then figure out which method you like the best and wouldn't mind learning about. Focus on that ONE method....read everything you can about it, perform it every day, keep trying to learn everything you can about that method. Become a pro at it...and the traffic will sky rocket from that one method. Once you've got a hang of it, move to another method and repeat the process.

    many people not visit that type of free hosting blogs/websites.
    if you want to buy person domain and hosting and try to do seo works like article submission, social bookmarks, commenting and many more.
    and daily upload new fresh content on your blog so you definitely get more traffics and unique clicks.

    Hey,

    I totally agree here.

    If you are having problems may be you should rethink your focus, because it's hard for someone to teach others something that they can't do themselves. All the methods you mentioned above do indeed work. Personally, I don't even us all of them and My blog is seeing the benefits. All the methods just take hard work & persistance to really be successful in getting traffic from them.

    Work on figuring out how to make them work for you. What works for another person doesn't mean it's going to work for you no matter how simple they make it sound. I had to learn that the hard way, but now I have found ways that work for me to build my traffic.

    Hope that helps!

    God bless,
    William Veasley

    Your own domain name! Always! Try ShopSmartDomains.com at less than $10. But don't go there until you decide on the main keyword you're going to be using.

    I agree with the first two respondents. Since you have a blog about seo then you need to purchase your own domain and setup a blog and forum software like vBulletin or phpBB will do. You can promote your new seo site via forum posting and commenting. There are many good forums that allow members to advertise for free.

    try to use your own domain it will look more proper. Submit articles is one of choices to increases traffic.Others method you can do is make video related to SEO(your blog are giving tips about SEO right?) and upload it on video sharing site such as youtube,metacafe.I got a lot of traffic from video submitting.

    I disagree with a lot this.

    There is no reason you can't get good traffic to a blogger blog.

    Here are a couple of ways to get very good traffic for nothing (remember, nothing happens overnight).

    1/ Bookmark every post.

    2/ Blog comments.

    3/ Bookmark the places where you leave comments.

    4/ Forum posts, same thing.

    5/ Squidoo, Hubpages, Weebly & more Blogger Blogs

    6/ Bookmark these.

    7/ Video submissions (Animoto to create them, post to YouTube, Daily Motion, Yahoo, etc

    8/ Press releases (this is quick and dirty, multiple backlinks from unique ip addresses

    9/ Articles if you don't mind the work.

    For the blog commenting and forum posts keyword research isn't necessary.

    Best,

    Scott
