How To Get More Traffic To Your Blog

My blogging friend Paul Chaney has asked a question about blog traffic in a post on his blog. ( You can see the post by clicking on his name. )

I’m curious myself, so I’m gonna ask the question here and will send a free ebook to the Top 5 suggestions.

Leave a comment here, do a post on your blog, use trackback, whatever. Just give me an idea I can use and you’re entered.

Here’s the question:

What’s the fastest, easiest and most effective way you know of to drive a semi-massive wave of targeted readers to this blog ?

Ready? Set….Go !

EDIT:

I just read a post on Blogging Help, by Arieanna Foley. I found it by reading Darren’s post on ProBlogger.

Arieanna describes how she goes about getting traffic.

Here’s a few tidbits for you from her post:

-Write 25-40% original content. For some blogs this will mean reading news feeds, as well as other blogs, to catch news first. You can also consider non-RSS content research to find items or to connect the dots between topics.

-Use pictures. They draw the eye. Look on Flickr or Google Images. Take what is Creative Commons, but be liberal with your link of thanks. Ask when unsure.

-Know your area bloggers and link to them. Make sure to comment too.

-Send emails to big blogs in your area. Pitch a story, write something interesting about your blog, and make that link prominent.

She’s got a good post going, drop by a leave her some ideas and let’s share the blog love.
