Getting Blog Visitors

You've got a blog now..... so how do you get traffic? Of course, it will take some time to build an audience, but here are some suggestions to help you get more visitors and thus help you make money online.

1. Visit other blogs in your niche and comment. You can then leave a link back to your blog. If it's a very popular blog with lots of traffic you may get more than just the blog owner visiting back.

2. Register with Technorati and follow the steps to claim your blog. Every time you add a new post "ping" with Technorati. Doing this consistently will bring you good traffic over time.

3. Ping your blog with other free services using Google and blog ping as keywords. Just be sure you aren't posting multiple times to the same sites as this would be considered spamming.

4. Autosubmit to social bookmarking sites with Only Wire. This takes some time to set up, but once done, is a huge time saver in the long run.

5. List your blog URL in your profile in Facebook, twitter or other social networking sites.

6. Join internet discussion forums and post there using your blog in your signature line. Posting helpful information in forums and on social networking sites, and just being friendly with others will make others curious about you and more likely they will check out your links.

7. Create Squidoo lenses and link them back to your blog. Google really likes squidoo, so this is a great source of free traffic.

8. Article writing is another good source of free traffic. Again you can link back to your blog in the resource area.

9. Join a Blog Carnival.

10. Join a blog directory such as Blog catalog.
