There are many factors that make blogs much better than normal WebPages including the speed at which blogs are indexed, ability

to submit to blog directories & normal directories, pings and track backs. All these little things can help drive more traffic to blogs.

Here popular techniques you can use:

1. Submit your blog to traditional directories such as DMOZ. Directories (particularly DMOZ) increase relevance with Google. DMOZ

is very picky, but what do you have to lose by trying?

2. Submit to as many RSS Directories and Search Engines as possible. This is a simple but repetitive process that can be done

with software such as RSS SUBMIT.

3. Comment on other blogs. Do not just leave short, lazy comments like “I agree.” Leave well thought out replies that will force

readers to wonder “who wrote this?”

4. Use track backs. If there is a blog that you refer to or quote and it is highly relevant to your subject, leave a track back. It

increases your link popularity and may even score a few interested readers from the linked site.

5. Go offline. Use newspaper ads, public bulletin boards, business cards, even stickers to let as many people as possible know

your blog exists.

6. Add a link to your blog in your e-mail signature block.

7. Use Forums. Forums are one of the best places to go for advice. Go to forums and find problems to solve. Make sure you leave

your blog name, but be tactful about it; some forums get annoyed with those who selfishly drop a few links to their own site and

leave.

8. Tag your website. Tagging is a new idea that has erupted across the web. Sites like Del.icio.us, Technorati and many others have

a social feature that allows you to place your article under keywords or “tags” that everyone interested in that tag can see.
