Hi Farhan,
It's Pawan Agarwal from MaxBlogPress.com
Traffic is the holy grail of blogging - everyonebody wants it
but it's more of a myths sometimes than actualy fact.
Read a couple of blogs on the Internet now and you'll know
what I mean - everyone has their own theory but for the most
part it's just a theory.
So before you go "grail hunting", wouldn't it be better to
start getting traffic NOW instead of waiting?
Here are a few ways to get traffic to your blog FAST:
1 - Join My BlogLog
------------------------------
That's right, go to http://www.mybloglog.com and create your
account. List your blog as a "community" for free and you've
already exposed yourself to bloggers from all over the world.
Next, add the MyBlogLog widget to your blog and watch real
people (with pictures) as they discover your blog. Add them
as a friend and grow your MBL profile.
Soon bloggers will be flocking to your new blog.
2 - Update Your Forum Signatures
------------------------------
If you've been online for any amount of time, you may have
posted on a handful of online forums that allow you to out
your own signature and link to your website.
In the past you may have put an affiliate link or just your
name in the signature colum - it's time to change that!
Just log in and update it to include a link to your blog.
As you're doing this, checkout the hottest or latest topics
on that forum and leave a reply or comment.
3- Leave a Comment on Other Blogs
------------------------------
Go to http://blogsearch.google.com and build yourself a list
of blogs tightly related to yours.
Then, participate in the hottest discussions on the blog.
Remember, you have to sincerely contribute to the blog post
itself, not just leave a half-baked spammy comment.
When people read your comment, they will click through to
your blog to check it out. If they like what they see, they
will subscribe to your RSS feeds and come back for more later.
4- Submit Your Posts to Blog Aggregators
------------------------------
A "blog aggregator" displays the latest posts from other
blogs, and most of them are free to submit your posts to:
http://www.plugim.com (Internet marketing blogs only)
http://www.bloggingzoom.com
If your posts are interesting enough, others will vote for
them and if you make it to the front page you'll be getting
a lot of traffic.
5- Do A Review Exchange
------------------------------
Remember the list of sites you comment on?
Approach the owner and ask for a "review exchange" where they
write a post reviewing your blog, and in return you write one
for them.
Well actually if you're just starting out, you may have to write
the review first and let them know about it.
Even if they don't write a full review like you did, they will
find a place to plug-in a link to your blog or your individual
blog posts.
Most bloggers are kind (really!) and they would love the extra
exposure of course.
That's it, the "5 Fastest Ways of Getting Traffic to Your Blog"
I said "fastest", not "best". There are other ways I'm sure, but
hey if you can't even do this then you truly are a "grail hunter".
And guess what, no one has found the grail yet, Farhan :)
