Im in the process of creating a political blog. What is the best way to drive traffic to it? I know one way would be to submit my posts/articles, What are some other ways? Also what are some ways to monotize it? Thanks
Try to find political forums, add a signature, and make daily posts...The more posts you make, the more exposure your site will receive. This will also help with building quality backlinks. You can do the same by commenting on political blogs and linking to your site. Blog comments usually require approval before being posted.
It is all about relevant content and SEO. If your blog is talking about current events, and your articles are better key worded than other sites, you will page rank high. You should research how to write articles with SEO, the first 120 characters are very important.
