    Hey, i'm looking for your help.

    I have a technology related blog, and im trying out different methods to get traffic.

    So far I have tried the following:

    1. Entrecard
    2. StumbleUpon
    3. Digg
    4. Commenting on other peoples blogs (DoFollow and NoFollow)
    5. Blog directories
    6. BlogRush
    7. RSS directories
    8. Huge pinglist

    The only methods that worked were:

    StumbleUpon
    Commenting on other peoples blogs

    What other methods are people using to get traffic to their blogs?

    If you use Digg correctly it will generate more traffic than any of those.

    1.Find the best article directory like GoArticles. And submit a quality article to them releted to your sites products and list with good keyword density.
    2. Submit the article to about 40 high rating social bookmarking sites.
    3. Make several blogs on various free blog sites linking to the article.
    4. Link your Main site to the resource box of the article.

    Digg takes days of work to get to the front page

    I was able to manage 30 diggs on one of my posts, but thats still nowhere near enough...

    has anyone tried paid blog reviews? did it work?
    Also does anyone know a good site that has a directory of sites that take reviews?

    Contact some well known blog authors and kindly ask them to publish one of your articles, as a guest post. Another good idea to get both traffic and links is BlogCarnival.com. There is nothing to lose if you submit some of your best articles there.

    Best of luck!

    @Dirty Butch

    Yeah, I've heard about Blog Carnival, but I haven't tried it yet. Just visited the site and the frontpage seemed different from the rest of the social bookmarking sites so I veered away. You just reminded me to check it out and actually try it now :)
