One way to increase your traffic.
First of all i hope you guys understand there is no easy way in getting a lot of traffic. It take a bit of hard work. One of my way in increasing my blog traffic is to join social networking like Bloggerhub and etc. Just join one will do, until you got enough traffics from one social networking site then u proceed to join another.
Steps:
1) Join bloggerhub.com which i recommend cos they have this broadcast feature.
2) Example your blog is about fashion, go to bloggerhub directory under fashion click on the site and add the author as friend.
3) Then everytime when you have a new post in your blog remember to broadcast it.
4) Comment on people blog and drop a msg in their shout box(bloggerhub) tell them that you have visit their blog.
5) Add as many friend as you want.
6) Join in the discussions and ask people to review your blog. (Get quite a lot of traffic from here)
Hope my this method will help to increase your traffic.:)
Informative but could not do what you have mentioned
The post is very informative and I guess it gives a lot of traffic to the blogs. You have mentioned about blogger directory and given an example of fashion blog and adding the author as friend. But how could I do that. I could not find the blog category at the blogger directory. Kindly help in this matter.
