    Hi guys

    What is the best way to get traffic to your blog? I get hits every day but not many at all and I wondered what the best way to increase this is?

    Thanks

    I build backlinks that result in serps increases, bringing natural (safe) traffic, slow tedious but gradual.

    I prefer to walk down the hill and F**k em all, if you know what i mean, lol

    I have to agree with the last few. Content brings so many searches your way. The more you start with, the more options google has to pull from in a search.

    When you say advertise the 125 badges, are you saying purchase the ad-block on other sites?

    SE= Search Engines
    SB = Social Bookmarking sites (i.e. Delicious)

    .. Writing good content is key - without that obviously nobody is going to be interested in wasting their precious 45 seconds on your blog. I've found that i get a lot of traffic from StumbleUpon - but if you are interested in making money from your blog (i'm not), the StumbleUpon traffic won't help..

    The most important thing is to write for People, not for Search Engines. Unfortunately, my blog gets only 5 visitors a day MAXIMUM.

    For a Month post 2-3 Quality Posts evry day ( even shorts ones of 200-300 words will do) by the time you will see good growth in traffic then move on to new thing like others mentioned, but always remember "What we call Traffic is real human not a robot, and humans only read something if its interesting and Informative"

    Read Other Blogs to learn the Art of Blogging you will develop your own style by writing more, make your title attractive and shocking, watch sxephil on youtube you will know what exactly i mean)

    Best

    Content is King. And for a reason. Don't you worry about traffic for a while. It'll happen if you have unique content. The #1 reason why blogs (and bloggers) fail is that they stop blogging. Seriously. You have to be patient. Keep at it and reap the rewards.

    Try commenting on other's blogs and your blog will endup getting attention from other bloggers...keep your comments interesting....What about the topics in your website??... of course it (topics) should be interesting only then people will try reading your articles.
    Good content will get you returning visitors plus a decent number of subscription which will help your blog to grow soon....find groups who are interested in something that you blog about...Update yourself with all latest information on the topic you are writing.... discuss everything (interesting) you know about the topic you choose. Building friendship will surely help you in driving good traffic. Once you get blogger friends, you try reciprocal linking
    All the best :)
