How would I get traffic to a Make Money Online blog?

    Hey everyone, I have a blog that is about making money online, and I have been building links by article marketing, and I think I'm using good keywords, but I don't really know much about it or what to do.

    I need some ways that I can get some traffic flowing to my site so I can start making atleast a little bit of money from AdSense. Right now, I've gotten only 179 unique visitors since the beginning of this month. Last month I had 331 unique visitors. That seems a bit low to me..

    My goal is to get up to 2,000 unique visitors a month. It's just a small goal that I want to work towards, because it can't be too hard. Can anyone share your tips on how you can generate traffic (up to my goal) to my blog overnight, or now? I want results, because I've been working at it a lot lately, but I haven't been seeing any progress.

    All feedback is appreciated, and thanks for helping to those that do.

    This is a good starting point:

    1. Forum Posting and Signatures - this is by far the most effective way for me to have both short term and ling term visitors. There are a lot of forums to advertise with and to post with your signature. Consider these lists: Free Ads Forums and Moneymaking & webmasters Forums

    2. Social Bookmarking - You may also submit your site in Social Bookmarking Sites. Many don’t like SBS advertising but for fast and immediate traffic, this is one of the best options.

    3. Yahoo Answers - try to answer some questions related to your site and post your link.

    4. Entrecard - the biggest contributor in my traffic today. This is very easy and simple to do.

    5. Blog Comments - The last thing that I am doing when I have extra time. Posting on others’ blogs with your link could increase your backlinks.

    6. Craigslist - I am getting around 20 unique hits per day from a single post in craigslit.

    Those are some good topics, and I do use forum posting and signatures quite a bit. I would post the URL here, but I don't want to post it on this site (personal reasons).

    I am going to think about using Yahoo Answers, thanks for the tip. That's amazing that you got that many unique visitors in one day because of it. How many unique visitors were you getting the day before you used that method?

    Thanks for the help! :)

    I don't mean to question you, but that seems kind of shady.

    No no, it's just about search engines and indexing stuff.

    Seeing as how this forum is geared towards webmasters you should definitely post the url here. Also, try some targeted traffic towards webmasters, see my sig and send me any questions you may have.

    Why not just buy hits to your site. These are damn cheap at say $10 per 100,000 hits ?
    Or join some auto-surf sites and you will get tons of hits to your sites as most will give you 10,000, 50,000 or even 1,000,000 sites as sign up bonus.

    Concentrate on your RSS feeds... And forget the auto hits crap like mentioned above. Auto hits aren't real traffic... they are either generated by a program or people who are surfing for credits...

    The best source of traffic is the search engines. I suggest you try to improve your search results ranking.

    This will bring lot of traffic.

    Read "The Authority Black Book" by Jack Humphrey. Anyone can get 500 visitors a day in a couple of months doing what he talks about in this book.

    Post, social bookmark, exciting and controversial content, Web 2.0, and more, are all part of what it takes to get traffic and repeat traffic.

    Give them something that makes them run to you ;)

    YouTube videos help.

    But there is one thing with even more pull than money itself on the internet... That can create INSTANT, targeted traffic, and can be applied to ANY niche, without EVER getting stale. And there is a way to get payed for it too. People can PM me, or link in sig.

    Off of one 5 minute step, I get over 10,000 unique visitors a month. I have 30 of these set up. They all go different places. I set it up to make money - not to promote my main sites. I guess between 2000 and 5000 visits from my lowest performing streams of income, and those aren't even a month old yet.

    You may already do the same thing and NOT get paid for it too. Want instant HEAVILY TARGETED traffic that PAYS you EVERY time it looks on your site? That gets interested in the rest of your site due to your level of control over what 'flavors' you cast? PM or link in sig - my pay per view guide there will be the answer to your traffic, and then some. Much more 'some'.

    This is the fastest way to attract traffic I have ever used, traffic = money, and it is way faster money than I've ever made.

    And about adsense - I make over 150 dollars a MONTH at this point with the method shared in my easy guide - I have been doing this no longer than a month and a half - My friends find the SAME success - My readers find the SAME success - We are building a network.... Why mention this? Because...

    I have been an adsense member since 2006, heavily using it since early 2007. I STILL haven't made more than 16 dollars from them.

    I had 2 ADSENSE DOLLARS when I started using the method in my guide. I now make at LEAST 10 clicks a day from the traffic I get, steadily, from my method. :)

    Yes, I highly recommend advertising on money-making forums, or even just advertising forums.

    You can do this here by getting people to review your site, or you could use http://web-lounge.info (one of my sites) and post an advertisement on the forums, or in your signature.

    There are many solutions, but I would stick with forum advertising until you get good at advertisements.

    Maybe he doesn't want to post his site yet because - being brand new -isn't he limited to NOT being able to put links in his sig etc..
    at which point someone else could take his ball and run with it.
    Dunno ...just a thought.
