How do you direct traffic to your blog??
605956
network it... if you start directing readers to other peoples' blogs (say, if you're discussing something which you read in another blog, or you know of a blogger who is a good reference for the topic) it's a great place to throw in a link to them, get involved enough and they'll be linking back to you, too

Join message boards that cater to your ideal demographic and just ask them to check out your blog.  Also, make sure your blog is good enough to make people return to it.  Also, have other bloggers link your page to theirs (and vice versa)...that's how I discovered my favorite blogs.

You can find the more popular blog sites and ask if they could feature you or simply add you as an affiliate. Or you could comment on their site and leave your info. By yourself, you can tag your blog posts with simpletags (http://www.broobles.com/scripts/simpletags/ ) or Technorati ( http://www.technorati.com/ ) . Also, you could use Feedburner (http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/home ) which could really help your traffic.

Using questionable sources of traffic -- e.g. buying those 100,000 visitors for only $29.95 deals -- can be a reason for Adsense to question your account. The risk is not worth it.\n\nHere are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible: \n\n1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.\n\n2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!\n\n3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.\n\nIf you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm \n\n4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News. My website (see my profile) accepts free press release submission (no strings attached!)\n\n5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.\n\n6. Improve your conversion. Getting visitors is one thing; getting them to buy your products is a whole different story. Read the article "10 Ways to Convert Visitors to Buyers" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/072005/conversion.htm for tips on how to improve your conversion rates.

You'd be surprised to know how many people DO come across blogs by accident. Blogspot actually has a feature where you click "Next Blog" to see a random blog. So type your heart out (with some sense) and who knows? If you do want people to know about your blog immediately you can spread the URL of your page around. Most people click on whatever looks interesting.

I've been diggin' the vibe over at http://www.squarespace.com\n\nYou can always upgrade if you need added functionality. But you can start\n\nwith a simple set-up for free.\nIt really depends what you want to use the Blog for. Depending on that,\n\nthe free path may, or may NOT, be the correct way to go. But it's\n\nimportant to think about this upfront. What is your long-term purpose\n\nfor this Blog?\n\nA major practical use of Blogs is to promote websites, products,\n\nservices, or even just to stay in touch with customers or members of an\n\nemail/ezine list. They are very powerful for that as they provide\n\nregular (daily, if you wish) contact.\n\nIn beginning to Blog, it's pretty key to know whether you are going to\n\ngo with a hosted solution like Blogger.Com or via one that you maintain\n\nyourself on your own website. That's pretty key to decide before you\n\nstart because otherwise it gets pretty tough to change over.\n\nBlogs are a subject that is both easy and complex at the same time;\n\neasy to get going with fast, but complex to do right from a marketing\n\npoint of view.\n\nIn terms of resources that discuss the inner secrets of both Blogging\n\nand RSS, I recently discovered the Stephen Pierce course on the subject\n\nand find it to be quite excellent in terms of specific advice and ideas\n\nthat you might not think of otherwise.\n\nYou can find information about the Pierce Blog & RSS resource here:\n\nhttp://www.innercirclesecrets.com/BlogRSS.htm\n\nEither way, I do recommend that people learn up about the subject\n\nbefore committing to a system, and then regretting it laster. The\n\nPierce course gives some pretty specific recommendations about that.\n\nRegards, \n\n \n[Blog] http://www.nead.us/wordpress\n\n[Pics] http://www.photoblog.be/neadfiles

There's a blogroll on your blog pages, but to put it on your main page, you could try adding them as an RSS feed. Create an account at http://del.icio.us/ and add your favorite sites there. They will have an RSS button at the bottom of your page that you can copy the web address for and paste it into the "Share Feeds" section of your page at 360.
