Posted by: sty in Blogging, SEO | September 19th, 2008

Many people messed up with the word traffic as this is for what we are writing the blog

Five steps to get traffic are

1. Pay per click advertisement : This is a paid way for getting traffic for your blog. You must have heard of google adwords . Google adwords is the fastest way for getting traffic to your bog and the most interesting thing with the google adwords is that they charge you only when your site is clicked. So you don’t have to pay just for getting listed in the sponsored google search results.
Yes,when you apply for google adwords your site gets listed in the sponsored part or the sidebar google search results. If you have the money and content on to your blog then go for this option because it is guaranteed. Though google adwords don’t charge much but still if don’t like this you can go for other ways of getting traffic which are also very effective.

2. Submit your Blog URL to the search engines : Until and unless you don’t submit your blog address to the search engines how can you expect them to list your blog in the search results and further no traffic. So the moment you are completed with your blog just go to these three Addresses and submit your blog address over to them.

Google : http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl
Yahoo: http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request
Live: http://search.msn.co.in/docs/submit/aspx

Live search engine will include your blog address within 24 hours but the other two will take time. So be patient and don’t keep submitting again and again. As doing this can be fatal for your blog.

3. Comment on related blogs : This may be the other fastest way to get traffic for your blog. Suppose that your site is about health. When you search any topic present on your blog on Google and some people’s blog may appear in the the top. So what you have to do is go to thir blog and write comments there on those topics/articles which is related to that on your blog also. Remember when you write some comments there give the address of your site also. This will attract all those visitors who visit that blog and definitely they will see the comments and hence they will see your blog address and visit at your blog.

4. Submit to dmoz.org and other directories : Dmoz.org is an open directory project where you can submit your blog address and the people there will analyze your blog and if they find it good then they will distribute your blog address to all the search engines and your blog may appear on the first page of the search results.

5. Post at a forum : This one always works like a charm. It may not get you 1000s of hits, but it will certainly get you enough for Google to see an active website.
