How do you increase traffic to your blog?

**Soliloquy** · 09-22-2008, 12:34 PM

I've heard the best way to increase traffic to your blog is to comment on other people's blogs, but do people actually follow the links they see in the comments or is the traffic purely from all the links to your blog Google will see? If the blog owner has tthe nofollow attribute enabled all those links you've added won't count for all that much. So what are some other methods of getting traffic to your blog? And more importantly, how do you keep them coming back to your blog?

Forum posting in niche forums helps too. Forums are generally dofollow, so helps getting indexed in Google too if you have anchor texts in your signatures. That is a very good way to promote your blog.

Commenting on related blog is also great! Post legitimate comments and then sign your name with a link to your blog, people know you aren’t there just to promote your site you’re there to post a good piece of feedback and also say where you’re from.
The easiest way to keep visitors coming back to your blog site is to update your blog on a regular basis, the best way to keep having repeated visitor is the quality of the content and its consistency.

My primary promotion technique is video blogging on sites like youtube, break, metacafe, dailymotion. Youtube is my #2 source of targeted traffic and my #4 or #5 source of overall traffic.

But then again, video blogging is not for everyone.

But then I wonder what are you other promotion techniques!

And is this all video promotion worth the time that we put in making those videos?

Do you know some easy technique of creating videos? Some kind of software to put the text in the videos?

all you have to do is to make social book marking of your blog.

Commenting on do follow blogs is pretty useful for me. However, the hard part comes with the process when you look for blogs with do follow attributes and with a good ranking position. You gotta need a software or something to find blogs under your niche with high page ranks.

I often submit my blog to web directories. I also hope for more traffic to my blog.

Simple way is provide unique content and write for niche topic, and wait for google to index it.
