Here are some great tips on how to get traffic to your blog, by blogger and website designer Terry Dunn:
1. Submit your blog to content aggregators like alltop and 9rules.
2. Submit your content to high profile blogs in your niche or topic area.
3. Target the best blogs in your niche or industry and comment.
4. After commenting regularly on a popular blog, it's likely the blog owner has noticed you. This is a good time to become a guest poster. Many blogs use guest posts. It relieves the blogger from the need for constant content. Send an email to the blog owner, complimenting their blog and suggesting topics for guest blogging.
5. Write or record a tutorial. If you create a video tutorial you can add it to youtube or if it's a written tutorial, try adding it to instructables.
6. Do you tweet? A twitter following is a terrific way of getting traffic to your blog. You can use twitterfeed to automatically publish a tweet as soon as you publish a new post, without any work on your part.
I've just submitted a client's blog to Alltop http://holidayrentalontheweb.wordpress.com/ so I'll let you know how that goes. Does anyone else have any ideas on how to get more traffic?
