Hello All, I have found a niche that I think is interesting. I have setup a Wordpress blog and my goal is to profit from ad sense and ads. Down the line I might start capturing leads. My question: I am in the process of posting about 10-20 articles on my site. How do I drive traffic? What is the "must do's" and what are the "must have" plugins for SEO in Wordpress? Does anyone have a game plan on how to drive traffic to a Wordpress blog? Where do I start? Thankful for any help.
This is a broad topic to answer you. Getting traffic is the lifeline to the success of any websites(blogs). In the process, you have to put in alot of work, so please be prepared. My answer to u, Must do : article submission, forum promotion, blog comments and build tons of backlinks Must have: Plugin: all in one seo pack, all in one adsense and ypn, google xml sitemaps, The rest will be optional depending on how advance are you online. i hope these will help.
I installed all the plugins you just mentioned. I want to do some article submissions, where is a good start? Are there any submission tools I can buy/use? How do I find blogs to comment on? Thanks
A blog is a collection of commentary posted on the internet. There are all different types of blogs including personal, corporate, political, mom blogs, podcasts, video, and more. Blog posts are typically displayed in reverse-chronological order with the latest posts at the top

Post comments on dofollow blogs. To find blogs to comment on you can use a special software "dofollow blog finders". Use google search and find one which will fit you the best.
Use google blog search to find related blogs in your niche so you can comment on them. Better yet, use google alerts to receive emails about content relating to keywords in your niche. If someone posts on their blog using one of your keywords, you can be one of the first to comment. If you make a genuinely helpful or constructive comment, it will be at the top of the comments and it will get you some traffic.
To drive traffic on your wordpress blog, you should also submit your posts on social bookmarking sites and also join popular social networking sites ( facebook, twitter, stumbleupon and linkedin) and promote your blog there.
