    Hello Geeks,

    I have recently started two blogs,

    http://www.travelosphere.blogspot.com
    http://www.careerhelper.blogspot.com

    I really upset :)confused:), that my website doesn't attracting user traffic. Although, my site has some good contents, because of the lack of marketing, the users are not coming.

    So, anybody can guide me in how to increase the user traffic to my sites? How marketing can play a role here?

    Have you tried...
    • Linkbuilding techniques (there is a great sticky down in the link building forum).
    • Sig links on related forums? (I give some tips here)
    • Posting on related blogs, or even exchanging blog posts (I give a good tip on that here)
    • Social Bookmarking (23 of them here)
    • Or Article Submissions? (I've no clue where a discussion on these are)
    At least those seem to be the 5 basics after having great content

    Keep on writing quality original content on your blogs and try to exchange links with related sites to yours.

    Building traffic can be a challenge, but not impossible.

    Since your travel blog is about your photography, take some time and look for places to submit pictures. Find photography forums and participate there.

    You've got to put in a lot of work to get "good" traffic.

    While you're at it, go social bookmark your stuff.

    I saw your travel blog. Nice...
    But some entries have no pictures..are they suppose to be like that?

    Perhaps a lighter colour backgound would help to make it more 'cheery' :)

    one marketing technique is to visit others' blog and make comment with a link to your own blog..

    Well, its a start... Keep building your content.. Try using the keyword research tool at seobook to find out what people are searching for and then build your content around that..

    Try using auto hits websites. One example is urlpointing. This might help to expand the possibilities.

    I've got a free ebook for you (no opt-in form) that rates and reviews every known form of free online traffic... This has helped a few websites owners and bloggers to boost site traffic quickly, and it's free!
