There are many ways to gain readers for your blogs and if you have any advice, please share them with us here Here is what I have put together to help you out.... simple things you need to learn about to get more readers for your blog.... Build a Simple, Clean, Well-Organized, Easy-to-Navigate Blog. Create very Unique & Valuable Blog Posts that are Hard to find Online. Create & Build a Facebook Fan Page & a Twitter Account for your Blog Site & Grow a Social Following. Blog very often. And make sure you Keep Improving your Copy-Writing Skills. Find Forums on your Niche & Become a Very Active Member. Find Facebook Groups on your Niche & Encourage People to go Read Content on your Blog.

Really awesome stuff, i hope it will help me get more traffic to my site also. You are just awesome Snoopy240
You shared an amazing thread. Your link is also a great one. It reminded me to work hard for my blogs in a newly bolstered way. THANKS
Thanks! and you are welcome!! I always like to over-deliver in value! ... I hope this information can really help you accomplish your goals online!
I would add inviting guest bloggers to your site. They will often mention the post on their own blog, and some of their readers may click over to see what they wrote. Once there, who knows, they may check out some of your other content.
Great list, however writing often can be misinterpreted. Writing small posts isn't exactly what you want, longer ones are way batter even if that means publishing once a week. There've been both studies and bloggers pointing out that the posts that bring the most traffic are the ones that oave 1500+ words. Also, Google's algorithm changes (as pointed out by Moz.com) focused on content quality, so you're better off making a killer longer post than splitting it into 4-5 tinier posts. Let's make some money! Ovi
I believe that best way is to writte quality content with juicy internal links and submit it to rss feed directories. Second : connect your blog with feedburner and Networkedblogs . Blogger posts will appear automatically on Twitter and Facebook account .
I'm not sure rss directories (or any directory for that matter, including dmoz) are worth that much nowadays. It's all about quality links now from reputable sites in your own niche or complementary niches.
i am editor at dmoz and i agree with you . But i believe that linking your blog to theese sites worths the effort,because you dont need to post everywhere and all the time.You just post on your blog saving time and linking your posts (not your blog) to high PR sites
Interesting how things change over time. What is your opinion on using trackbacks? They use to be a great tool for linkbaiting, but I'm not sure if they are really that effective any more.
This is definitely a very interesting and informative post. So nice of you to share those tips here. I might as well try them out and apply them to my blog. Thanks!
I totally agree with you here. Writing a long & valuable blog post is extremely important for the success of your blog online. And if you do not want to deal with the Search Engines Constant Algorithm Updates and Changes, specially with Google, then there is no way around Quality Content! You will really get more traffic with Quality Content with Zero Backlinks, from the search engines all day long. And well Ovi - if you haven't noticed how long my blog posts are lol ... but they are very, very long posts - so I really keep reminding everyone online How Important it is to share very valuable & long blog posts - specially in the Internet Marketing/Home Business/Blogging Niche. Thanks for your input! Much success! Cheers!
Good tips! Forum marketing is one of the best ways to drive targeted traffic to your blog. If the forum is in your blogs niche, then you can get a lot of readers from it. Definitely look into guest blogging too, you can gain a lot of traffic from that.
Trackacks can still be useful and helpful to Alert other bloggers about your blog. I personally like to hide the trackbacks on my blog posts because I get too many and they show up below the post as a 'comment'. It didn't look good having tens of trackbacks below my posts - so I use the WP Plugin 'Hide Trackbacks' I still use the trackbacks - I just dont show them on my pages. I would say this is a personal choice. Trackbacks can still be effective if you know how to take advantage of them. Hope this helps!
Thanks for that post Snoopy. I wasn't even aware that you can hide them. I've never really made much use of them myself. It's one of those things I am always planning to do, but never seem to get around to it.
No problem @Foxxy ! Well, I don't really use a Trackback Strategy because I just don't really like to deal with them but that is a personal choice. If you are not desperate to increase the traffic to your blog by using a trackback strategy then I would ignore it and focus more on other more powerful techniques to increase the traffic flow. Glad you are getting some value out of this forum thread! Thanks for your input! Cheers!
Really helpful ideas, thanks a lot for this method, I think this will help me a lot. I was also searching the best way to promote my blog.
You're welcome and thank you for your reply @Pabin_aaR ! I'm glad this information is useful to you! I wish you the best success online! You can do it! Cheers!
