Driving traffic to your blog made easy !

Blogging is interesting but when you can’t drive traffic to your blog,it’s a big issue.If you are in this situation,don’t worry,many baby bloggers are in the same kind of shoes.They feel they are the only one reading their blog.But,you will get help from the following tips:

1.Submit Your Site to Google and Yahoo.It amazes me how many people set up sites or blogs and never bother to submit to the major search engines like Google and Yahoo.To submit your site to Google,just go to here. To submit your site to Yahoo,click here. When the page loads,just click on Submit Site and then follow the promptings. This ensures your site is indexed by the search engines and then you begin to get traffic through them.

2.Offer to Guestwrite for popular blogs. So many bloggers get engrossed with their blog and always like to reserve their best articles for their own blog but I tell you,what’s the use of putting your best articles on a blog no one reads? Better offer to put such articles on widely-read blogs as a guestwriter and use them to drive traffic to your blog.For instance,if your blog is in the self-help niche,look out for popular self-help blogs and offer to guestwrite for them.I am sure this will bring you significant traffic.

3.Leave comments on blogs in the same niche as yours.I tell you this works because I have tried it. Don’t just read other blogs,leave comments on them with a link to your blog.This will asist your traffic efforts.

4.Do Carnival Submissions.Just go to here to submit an article.I do this every week and I tell you,it brings backlinks which are good for search engine traffic.Don’t spam the carnivals by submitting too often.Once a week is okay and please make sure you submit your article to the appropriate carnival.

5.Submit Your Blog to Blog Directories.There are a thousand and one directories you can submit to.For a full listing,please click here.But one thing I will advise you do is to set up an email account,specifically for this as you may tend to receive several spam emails after the submission.

6.Write Quality Content.I’m sure you are asking what has this got to do with driving traffic.It has everything to do with it because on the net,quality content wins.If you have content people cannot find anywhere else,other sites will pick up your articles and use and that will bring you a lot of traffic.

7.Syndicate your content.What I mean by this is,allow other people use your content with your bio intact.This will also give you a lot of links and generally bring you traffic.

8.Use social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Stumbleupon, Digg,etc to get traffic.

9.This is classic but it works.Write articles and submit to article directories such as EzineArticles, GoArticles, Isnare,etc.Don’t forget to put your bio containing your blog url at the end of each article so readers who read your articles at these blogs can visit your blog.

10.Network at forums.At the end of each post you make,put the url of your blog so people that read your post can visit your blog.You can actually do this through your signature.Just click on your profile and in the space provided for signature,put the url of your blog ss well as a powerful benefit statement such as ‘Free ebooks on….Visit http://www.yourblogurl.com. If your blog is in the self-help niche,you promote it through self-help forums.
