    Sure thing! Many may not actually be applicable to yours because Build Internet is primarily a web niche blog, but I'll give them shout outs all the same.

    For Web Design & Dev:
    Script & Style
    CSSGlobe
    Community feeds on sites like Nettuts and GoMediaZine.

    From this I'm getting a fair share of stumbles and delicious bookmarks. I won't lie and say that it's been enormous numbers, but it's been enough to increase traffic by several thousand per week and improve search rankings for some keywords.

    @Kush86 - What do you mean adding more pages than posts? Could you clarify this for a Newbie like me?

    I added a ton of resource pages for new bloggers and affiliate marketers. I haven't done many posts lately. Just visit my blog kushmoney and take a look at the pages. build a blog, resources(ton of other pages in resources), and poker & casino reviews.

    Hi Pedron,

    I optimized my blog with a new theme ( the theme is available via my blog ) which is completely SEO'd up ( is that a word :) )

    Added a few widgets and when i write i use long tail key words, plus i have been building backlinks to my blog and home website.

    Jason

    SERP / SERPs ( plural ) means Search Engine Results Page

    I still find it hard to get 20%-40% traffic from Search Engines with a PR2 blog like mine.

    Any easy suggestions, tools to increase this??

    P.S:please keep sharing your blog's sources of traffic

    You will get more hits when you get more content. So the best way is to keep adding content and more people will get in trough search.

    First I mostly got traffic from pinging and pingbacks, I have a huge list of sites to ping. After a month I started to get traffic from Google because my blog posts started to get listed, and then backlinks. Now, for some reason I also get a fair amount of direct traffic.

    My %'s are changing quite fast. I'm starting to get a lot of "Direct" traffic throug "Doc POsting" (Excel or Word Files) in Scribd... I recommend this kind of traffic source.
