I
wrote in my several previous posts about the importance of quality content. The
first step to build a better relation with your audience is updating your blogs
regularly with great content. Try to understand your readers, what they are
looking for, write something that is meaningful and valuable to your readers
try to give priority to their interests, it will help you to turn them into
your loyal readers. Regularly posting will increase the chances of your site to
appear on search engines first page or closer to it. So valuable and quality articles
must post regular basis in blog site.

comments on other blogs is a common and easy way to drive traffic to your blog.
Read other posts and make valuable comments on them. Don’t forget to leave your
blog’s URL in the URL field. A valuable and interesting comment will definitely
bring traffic to your blog. Commenting on other blogs is a common way to get
backlink. Don’t write any worthless comments or don’t give your URL in the
wrong field. Avoid copy-pasting same comments in different blogs. Your comments
may be counted as spam. Don't make comments on any BLOG whatever you found,
select some websites and blogs related to your topic.
3.
Use RSS services in your blog:
Web
definition for RSS is Really Simple Syndication. It’s an easy way to keep your
readers updated with your posts. Upon completion of each post your readers will
e-mailed. Using RSS feeds in your blog is a great way to drive traffic. Submit
your RSS feed link to several feeds directory. Many free RSS feed services are

Submit
your blog or website to several Search Engines directory like Google, Yahoo,
Bing (msn), etc. You can do it by click on the submit link or add url or other
similar link to their sites. It does not mean that your site will appear on the
search result for your chosen keywords by this submitting. It increases the
chances to getting indexed quickly. And once you get indexed on some search
engines it will be easier for you to bring more traffic to your site. Read my previous
post about Blog Directories.
5.
Use Social Sites:
The
most common and interesting way to drive traffic to your blog is using Social
sites like FaceBook, Digg, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Delicious, Reddit etc. These
sites will bring enough traffic to your sites but you need to do some hard
work. Registered with those sites and submit details about your blog. Some
sites will automatically publish your post in your wall, need some change in
your profile page to do that. These sites will provide your some powerful
backlink to your site. I will describe in my upcoming posts how to use those
social bookmarking sites and how to get real benefit from these. Sites those
are not dependent on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) based traffic, are mainly
depend on Social sites for traffic.
6.
Use Trackback and Link:
Another
traffic source to your blog is use of Link and Trackback to your blog. Creating
link with other site helps to drive traffic and increase traffic search engine
ranking. A publisher can identify who is linking with his sites and this can
bring more traffic. Leaving a trackback inform other bloggers that you are
linked to him and he might get interested to visit your blog. And if your post
attracts him he will read it and inform others.
7.
Use of Tag:
Use
Tag at the end of your posts. It will help to drive traffic from other sources.
It’s one kind of link that helps search engines to find related pages. Readers
can find out easily other related posts with tags. Popular blog search engines
like technorati use tags to make search.

The
most important, valuable and tough traffic generation technique is SEO. It’s a
long term traffic generation method. To optimize a site or blog for search
engine is not easy, it requires long time and practice. Google is the best and
most widely used search engine on the web. For any specific keyword to appear
on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd pages is not so easy in Google. Hence Google change
their search engine ranking Algorithm regularly. So if you want to build an
optimized blog or website, start it from the very beginning. Keep attention to
