How to get traffic for my blog?
Many make the mistake of believing that once they create a blog, people will immediately flock to it. There are millions out there so why would they visit your blog?
Here are some ways you can promote your blog
Step : 1
Create great content – everything starts with great content. Think 'Linkbait" — or writing about stuff that would be so great that people will want to link to you. It can be a news hook where you write about something that is contrary to what everyone else is saying; resource hook where you have the only information available or humor hook.
Step : 2
Update the content regularly – make your visitors come back again and again to your blog by providing daily updates (even multiple posts per day!)
Step : 3
Submit your blog to blog directories such as

Step : 4
Network with other bloggers – comment on their blogs, read and link to other blogs and request them to link back to you.
Step : 5
Email other bloggers – pitch your post to other bloggers and hope that they will link or mention your blog
Step : 6
Use techniques to showcase your blog – examples include meme games such as the Daily Meme http://thedailymeme.com/ or carnivals http://blogcarnival.com/bc/
Step : 7
You can try pay per click programs such as Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords or Yahoo Search Marketing http://searchmarketing.yahoo.c… – though the key is to carefully track your ROI and which keywords actually perform well
Step : 8
Make sure your blog is indexable by the search engines - and make sure that your titles have great keywords that your target audience are most likely to use.
Step : 9
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.
