Ten Traffic Promotion Tips for Bloggers

When I first began to blog I had no comprehension of how to promote my blog posts and encourage traffic. I simply sat down and began writing on a topic I was passionate about. Little by little I learned some lessons from other bloggers such as in blogging content is king and I began to promote my blog by applying them.

In time I moved from having only free hosted wordpress.com blogs to also establishing a blog on my own domain with the assistance of a professional web developer.
Time passed and I learned how to clean up my markup, do bad neighborhood checks and how to establish and maintain links.

Every day as a neophyte blogger who is growing I surf the net to read more about how to structure a reader and search engine friendly blog and, to accumulate more blogging tips, blogging tools and resources to share with others in this blog. This morning I found a great blog post that I would like to recommend to my readers.

I’ll begin with a quote, follow it up with a sub headings list and leave it to my readers to click through and gain some insight into making their blog a traffic magnet.

Here are the top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers. These are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling.

• Write at least five major “pillar” articles.
• Write one new blog post per day minimum.
• Use a proper domain name.
• Start commenting on other blogs.
• Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts.
• Encourage comments on your own blog.
• Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival.
• Submit your blog to Blog Catalog.
• Submit your articles to Ezine Articles.
• Write more pillar articles.

Happy blogging!
