Thank you for all your helpful tips for new bloggers like me!
Hi Richard! Glad to know it is helpful
This is a great article! I’m a huge fan of the social networking and blog commenting and I really don’t have time for anything else.
I find once you pick what you’re going to use for traffic generation it’s a good idea to stay niche and work at improving that specific process.
By using other marketing medians I’m afraid the currently mains teem ones I use will suffer from low quality.
Have you been using bloggingzoom? I got a message from the owner Vic a mass e-mail saying things changed and when I went there the upcoming page was full of spam and the main page was articles from over 400 days old.
Also I wanted to say thanks for adding blogengage to the list. Were forgotten most of the time due to the small size of our community.
Thanks bbrian017 for your feedback. I too a fan of social networking and it is the best way to get traffic.
I submitted two of my blog post to Bloggingzoom. Strange that upcoming page is full of spamm. I saw one post where only keywords were there.
Anyway I am happy with Blogengage. Great community for blogger!
Thanks I’m glad it’s working our for you.
This article did great with our members I think you’re sitting at 6 Engages! Hopefully that will only get better!
Remember you get out what you put into it.

Hi there,
you have a great list in here. Although each tip will be beneficial in a certain way, I believe it’s best to focus more on the tips that you think might be more beneficial for you compared to the other tips. All these tips has a certain way that you should do it to maximize traffic coming in. It will take some time for begginers to master all of them. We have to learn fast though because the internet is evolving and it’s not gonna wait for us to catch up.I’m am learning as i go as well.
thanks.:-)
All great advice! Guest posting is something that I have yet to try but someday I’ll venture into it.
Videos are on a huge rise and really easy to create because cameras and editing software is so cheap now.
You could even just use your built in web cam and free online editing software to create some great videos.
Include your link, target the right keywords and you’re gold.
Thanks Chandan.. this site is very impressive for SEO work. I am focusing a lot on article marketing, blog commenting, and forums. It’s hard to find good relevant blogs in my industry that aren’t competitor’s sites. =(
hi i was just starting a new blog and was purely unknown about how to get more traffic to my blog this article is a great one and i hope this one can really help me well
Thanks so much for this great information. I am just starting to blog and learning about free traffic is really going to help.
Glad to know you liked the information. By the way Search Engine Optimization is the best way to get traffic.

I’d been meaning to get the whole social bookmarking thing clarified. I keep hearing about it on forums all over as a great source of traffic but never really grasped the concept. I’m now guessing that you will need to have interesting blog posts so they go viral?
These are all great ways to get more traffic for your blog. However, I only give more time on article marketing and social bookmarking. In my experience, I received more backlinks from doing these two methods.
Article posting is a good way to bring tons of traffic to your sites
I have been reading a lot about how social bookmarking helps your search engine rankings when done without spamming so it is certainly worth a try especially if yoiu have quality content to offer the readers.
I’ve tried using social bookmarking (esp Digg and Delicious) but so far have seen it yield pretty much zero traffic to my sites. I’ve added mostly bookmarks to my own sites, tried to join networks with other users (and have so managed to avoid being banned). But I’m still yet to receive any significant traffic.
Maybe I’m missing something?
Actually to get traffic from Social Networking sites your topic should be very interesting. I do social bookmarking only for backlinks. More over traffic from all those sites are not very effective. But yes if you are trying to make money though adsense. Even CPA does well.
This is some good points chandan. I have been trying to establish a more sturdy network within my area of blogging.
Hi & thanks for your tips to get more traffic as my sire is niche but very interesting. Since I wrote articles on e-zine then created videos & posted on youtube my website hits rocketed.
Thanks again. Dale
Thanks Chandan for putting together my website and to all your helpful articles.I always refer to your blog like my library if I need to learn something.You have served as an inspiration to all who would like to earn and learn online. Happy new year.
Nice post, I think will try the sites you listed. Keep up the good work!
Cheers
one hour today is worth two tomorrow.
Ahh this is something to read carefully and then implementation is the most important thing !! most of the people just read a few lines and get what they think would benefit them, but guys trust me if you try most of these tips and tricks then you’re gonna get huge amount of traffic for sure, plus Seo and Good content should be the key !
Free Traffic is cool, but you need to use it the right way.Always try to build a list first with your free traffic and give away free stuff.great stuff. thanks
Wonderful tips for a newbie like me. Too many to digest all at once but will slowly crawl through it.
Many thanks once again.
zimanta is a perfect suggestion! thanks!
Excellent article awesome tips for blogs sites my problem is i want to find high pr backlinks for my newly created website. Will the same tactics work for websites like they do for the blogs?
Thanks for your comment Robert. It’s difficult to find those link but you can use SEO Spy Glass(www.link-assistant.com) software to collect High PR links easily. You can download SEO Spy Glass for free but Free version has some limitation.
You can use same tactics for Static website and also for blogs. It will work for both. Good Luck
forum posting and article marketing still valid ?
@Lobby Guy, Thank you for your question. Forum posting and article marketing seems to working low after the recent Google Panda update. Anyway I am not a fan of Article Marketing. I only use spun content to build links to my Web2.0 or other pages that have links to my money site.
I have so many blogs where i dont need to do much of seo work and i still have high rankings in google. so whats the point of doing seo? when we already have good amount of search engine rankings without doing anything ?
I am sure you are targeting low competitive keyword then. For competitive keywords it’s impossible to rank without doing doing anything.
can you rank in first page of google with the keyword iPhone for example ? without any seo? well some people are ranking first in both images and web results with such keywords and i dont know why but yes they are. probably some kind of a big change in google terms etc
I am agree with you. Definitely there agree big changes going on. Moreover now a days Google first page is changing often. But still I don’t think there is no scope for SEO. SEO was important and it will be in future. Only ranking parameter will be changing. Of course few sites rank very good initially. But gradually they loose their ranking. Well, to be honest I haven’t seen any site on #1 without any SEO. I will appreciate if you can show me any example site.
Thanks,
Chandan
