10 Time-tested, Battle-Hardend Blog Traffic Techniques

10 Time-tested, Battle-Hardend Blog Traffic Techniques

1. Blog Regularly - many of the top blogs post 10-20 times per day.

2. Create Authority Articles - instead of blogging frequently, post less often but focus on creating Authority Posts -- lengthier articles that are really well put together which will attract attention from other bloggers & users of social bookmarking sites like Digg, reddit, etc.

3. Comment on Other Blogs - do not keyword spam in these, but rather use your own name and add value to the conversation.

4. Link Out Frequently to Industry Leaders - show some linklove to other bloggers in your niche.  In turn, they might eventually link back if you have a quality post on a topic they have not covered yet.

5. Participate in Blog Carnivals - these are a way for bloggers within a niche to get together and periodically highlight posts from one another's blogs.  You can find an index of these at BlogCarnival.com.

6. Do Guest Posts - not just for A-List bloggers, but B-List and beyond.  Be sure to work up some good material first, so as to make a good first impression.
