[Only 6 steps] How to get more traffic to your blog

[Spiral]

I made this post for the new bloggers so they can get more traffic to their blogs ....


Step 1 :
Submit your URL to search engines
You should get alot of traffic if you only add your site to Google. You should also add your RSS-feed to Google Blog Search and Yahoo.



Step 2 :
Name your pictures :

I’ve seen that I often do get traffic from Google picture search. So it’s wise to give the pics you upload to your blog a real name. Instead of DSC_22344.JPG which is given by the camera, call it volvo_2009.jpg.



Step 3:
Pingback and Trackback:

When you write an article for your blog, make sure to find other relevant site that have the same topic and link to them. Because of a feature called pingback and trackback, the link to your post will often be posted as comment on the blog you link to.



Step 4:
Tag your post

It will really help you if you tag your posts. It helps you and your readers to easy find things in a specific categories to read. It also helps search engines.


Step 5:
Social networks
if you are registered in Facebook or Hi5 , you could use the statusbar to link to post that could be of interest for your friends.


Step 6:
Digg it

If you’ve written a great blogpost, like I did with this one, digg it. While I don’t get that much traffic from Digg.com, it do help. It’s one of the biggest news sites out there.
