    Best is to do seo for your site and try to make it higher in ranking and traffic will come automatically.

    Organic search is the best traffic, but you can also do other things, like, post videos, commenting on other relevant blogs with a link back to your site and participating on forums related to your niche with a link back inside your signature and social bookmarking. Also, I haven't used them in a while, but blogcatalog.com can bring in some pretty good traffic to your blog.

    You should build back links, tap on the traffic of social networking sites by referring people in. Search Engines are still the main source of traffic though. Try to build links with sites of similar niches and it would be easier for you to get targeted traffic into your website. Article Marketing is another way you can try. Leveraging on traffic in article directories is a good way of getting traffic. Hope this helps :) if you want more advice feel free to subscribe to my free tips, tricks, software and courses on internet marketing. You can also PM me :)

    1) Get dofollow backlinks
    2) Comment on other people's blogs to drive traffic back to yours
    3) Use social networking to promote your blog
    4) Write about what people want to read and also promote your keywords to get good search engine position

    Invite Guest Bloggers
    Asking a well known personality in your niche to contribute a short blog on their subject of expertise is a great way to grow the value and reach of your blog. You not only flatter the person by acknowledging their celebrity, you nearly guarantee yourself a link or at least an association with a brand that can earn you readers. Just be sure that you really are getting a quality post from someone that's as close to universally popular and admired as possible (unless you want to start playing the drama linkbait game, which I personally abhor). If you're already somewhat popular, it can often be valuable to look outside your space and bring in guest authors who have a very unique angle or subject matter to help spice up your focus. One note about guest bloggers - make sure they agree to have their work edited by you before it's posted. A disagreement on this subject after the fact can have negative ramifications.

    Thanks. But is it necessary to build links only at US websites, if my blog is US, or it can be worldwide? For example, if I buy/exchange links with UK, French or Arabic sites, the result would be the same?

    Google said that incoming links are used to define the sites country. The philosophy being that if you are in US you are likely to have more inbound links from US sites, which makes sense.

    Try to get backlinks from a themed blog's blog roll. One link will give you as many links as the other blog has post-page.

    Do as what you do for a website, follow the same steps of a website promotion. Blog has to be on a good blog platform like word press or blogger.
