Using social bookmarketing to get traffic to your blog is a newer way to bring in traffic. The way this works is that you go to the social bookmarking sites create an account and then submit you link to your blog. When you submit a link you are able to put tags with it.
Creating tags allows you and other people to find your blog. It is very important to make sure that the tags to use are what your blog is about. That way, the people that find your blog are actually interested in what your blog is about.
People can then grab your feed and use it on their site or pass it to their friends that would be interested in it. This provides you with a ton of high quality one way links back to your blog that can rank you high within the search engines and send you a high amount of organic traffic.
The key to really getting this to work is that you have to be social. If you sign up to social bookmarking sites and only submit feeds about your blog with out ever looking at and using other peoples feeds and sites you will end up getting kicked off of the bookmarking site.
Another very sociable way to get traffic to your blog is forum marketing. Putting links in your signature is a great way to get people interested in your blog. Make sure that your links will capture somebody’s interest.
If your having a hard time finding forums about your topic you can ask Google. Put “topic of blog + forum” in the search engine to get a list of the different relevant forums.
In order to get traffic your blog you need to become an authority figure on your topic. The best way to do this is to make sure that you’re actually contributing to the community. Make sure your answers are well thought out and actually help people. Do not spam the forums, that will not get you any traffic and will quite possibly get you kicked out.
Another good way to get traffic to your blog is through article marketing. If you are already forum marketing then you will have an unlimited amount of things to write about. To easily compose an article just go to the forum and see what questions people are asking and either answer them or see what other peoples answers are. Simply take the information you learned, rewrite it into your own words, and submit it to article directories.
If you really want to get a ton of traffic from the articles that you are writing then you should use an article submission site. A good article submission site will send out your articles with unique content to thousands of directories.
