I surf the blogs at mybloglog a lot.-
Do you think that the visitors that MyBlogLog drives to your blog is a quality traffic? I mean will they click on ads and make some money for you?
-
to find visitor that click on your ads mostly it visitor from search engine, if visitor from mybloglog visitors mostly blogger, so maybe we can create friendship with other blogger -
@newbiesblogger
You have just advocated click fraud. It's a violation of the Google adsense terms of service that can get you banned and blacklisted.
Clicking your own ads is click fraud and forming a group to do the same is likewise a fraudulent act. When an advertiser chooses to advertise, they do so on the assumption that the people who click their ads are interested in their products. When you click your own ads, you aren't interested in their products. You're wasting the advertiser's money, because every click you make means they get less return (advertising dollars converted to new sales).
That means advertisers aren't willing to pay as much in the long run (because they know most of it'll just bleed away to click fraud), so prices go down, and you get less per each click.
If you want more money, write better content, grow your blog, monetize more efficiently, but don't advocate or become involved in click fraud.

BTW if any BC member admits they are into click fraud on this forum or advocates it I report them to Google adsense as do the other members of the Click Fraud Busters group. -
to be honest mybloglog sucks

Mostly by growing my MBL community - interacting with them.-
The same question for you too:
Do you think that the visitors that MyBlogLog drives to your blog is a quality traffic? I mean will they click on ads and make some money for you? -
Quality traffic, in my opinion, does not mean that they will click on your ads, but will return because you offer them something worth returning for.

comment on high PR blog. Sure there will be traffic coming in.
Try it and only povide positive trueful feebacks.-
i don't think so, comment use rel=nofollow -
Errr, comment on high PR blogs in the BumpZee No-NoFollow group? LOL I don't have any tips that haven't already been mentioned, but no all blogs are NoFollow. -
#legbamel : yup, you're right..some peoples use rel=dofollow

I assumed that it is the most efficient way to search high-quality linkchanges with others. -
- Link exchange with blogs that are relevant to your blog topic.
- Interact with blog communities members and join their communities
- Forums
- Join blog communities
- Write articles and submit to the article directories.

You have listed the most important ways. Thanks!

To improve your rss subscribers one must have quality content!!!!(Read somewhere).. for others apart from above see that your blog is in all web search engines. -
I would recommend editing your writing to make it punchier.
I checked out your blog, and it's very professional looking - but bland. The writing style is also rather long winded. It may be because I'm not interested in the topic, but I found I was turned off, and didn't want to read further because of it.
Making it more interesting will ensure people spend time on your site, and return (and so continue to click on ads =)).
Good-luck

Any Free Method would usually be at the expense of precious time and lots of energy. Outsourcing and paying for traffic is usually more profitable at the end of the day.
Blogging works well if it's targeted blogging. In any case, it's all about getting targeted traffic. Getting traffic alone is not enough. There are people with lots of traffic but low sales conversion. Also, beware of being penny wise and pound foolish

Buying for link, asking for paid review will eventually get you into the bad book of search engines - especially Google. Earlier this week someone with a PageRank of 7 and Premium Adsense Publisher get kick out of Google organic search because of paid text link.
Paying your way up is not really recommended.

Well I don't use ads so I could care less if I get any hits or not. Only thing that I do is make sure I write at least one new post a day.
If people like it, they options to submit it to the sites like Digg, StumbleUpon and Rediff. Last month I got 12K unique visitors and this month so far 6K. -
StumbleUpon is a god send. Period.
Cameron -
try using surfing MBL alot and read blogs like this www.topgptsites.blogspot.com -
I don't really understand why stumbleUpon stands out in a crowd and would like to know if anyone feels like talking about it. -
First of all thanx for brokencodes.blogspot.com
His link help me a lot for gaining toooo much good and excellent knowledge for my blog improvement.....rather above issue ....it is really expense of precious time and lots of energy...as our one of the friend Mr. patricac told here....guys find out a way in that manner that everyones knowledge help to make us better and profitable.... -
One of the most important thing is unique, distinct and qulity content. Why?
1- Search engine will love to rank your pages.
2- People will love to read your posts, bookmark your blog and subscribe for your feed.
3- other bloggers will love to link to your posts, recommend you and post comments on your blog. -
Go to www.woggi.com/ . Whoever is the last to post on there gets on the first page that has no other links on it. It's really easy to submit your site, you just click advertise, put your URL and describe your site, and you go automatically on the front page. When someone else posts their site your site gets indexed in their archive.
Although they are ranked bad on Alexa I actually got 40-50 hits from there while I was on the front page. You can submit your site as many times as you want... I think I'm going to do it again :-D -
wow, better don't submit your site too many time. Search engine will delist site that look spammy and have too many links built up in a day. I am acquiring close to 50 backlinks each day.
just make sure you do it naturally. Commenting still works for me.
Also not to put url inside comment. Use anchor text.
cheers! -
Host a contest on your blog with the incentive to win a prize. Make it intriguing - like a month long puzzle that has updates every week to keep getting return visitors. -
The many ways you can get your blog with better and higher quality traffic mini Guide.
Going to list out 10 ways for you guys.
1.Invite people at the right time - Make sure your blog is well written with contents, and without contents don't ever invite people to look at your blog since there is nothing much he can read on and may well forget about your blog, so you will lose traffic, remember this in your head.
2.Social Communities - Though with contents featured on your blog, you do not have maximum exposure so you can looking in joining in communities to find targeted traffic from the readers and bloggers, who wants to learn something from you.
3.Article Submission - Making a name in article directories like ezinearticles is essential, since it can boost your site traffic with your articles presented for your readers.Remember not to copy contents from your blog, but create a set of unique articles meant for your readers in ezine articles, that will stop duplicating contents and earning yourself better respect.
4.Have Winners - Host contest within your blog, set simple instructions to win your prizes and money, does not have to be big but it should look attractive.
5.Stumble the Digg - Make sure you have these 2 social tools which will help you increase your traffic. Stumbling and Digging others will have you being notice and you will get increase in traffic though not of a targeted kind but its worth trying.
6.Submit and submit - Get your site live and going with multiple submissions to weblog directories and also get your url into search engines. Will it increase my traffic,maybe but at least you tried to.
7.Spamming - While spamming is a taboo topic, i will urge people who spam use correct ways of getting your fellow readers to come to your site, you tell me the difference between a word "invite" and "come to my site". Minimum traffic but worth a free try.
8.Forums - Go to your niche forums and join in topics to talk about, and have your blog site url in the signature, this will help increase your traffic unawared.
9.Go get a domain - Come on guys, those who are blogspot and xanga should really think about increasing your traffic by getting a dot com, of course if your blogspot is already getting 50,000 visits a day, you can just stick to that, but on a whole,a dot com will be ranked better and looks neater for your readers to remember.
10.Content is king - Why i place this last, i figured out people will comment so i have it last to made an impression to all.(It will be caps)
MAKE SURE YOU WRITE AND WRITE AND WRITE, GOOGLE LOVES TO READ UNIQUE AND UNTABBED CONTENTS WITHIN A SITE, GOOGLE PAGERANKING AND TRAFFIC WILL INCREASE WITH THE CORRECT NICHE AND TOPICS SPOKEN, DON'T DUPLICATE HEAVY ARTICLES FROM ELSEWHERE.
[All these information conludes that traffic can be attained by many ways and these are just the 10 that i derive from. There are many other ways to get your traffic going,this is no article that i grab or wrote on my blog,just something that i would want to share]

Very nice Etienne. Thanks!

A blog is a blog first and foremost. Not just a landing page for link exchange and blog directories. Therefore write what you know and what interests you and write as often as you can.
badm00n's suggestion is also good. i'd go for creative marketing anyday than pay off sums on expensive ads. -
Include a link to a post from your site answering a question in a forum:

Vahid, why don't you tell us what you already know? A blanket request for information with no input of your own is a turnoff.

threads getting dragged back up by some one posting shite like skvnet on every post-
Oh, I see. This darn thing is old. Seems to be a lot of garbage on the forums today. Think I'll give at a rest for now. Skvnet has posted on how many threads about this now? Is this spam yet? Well, I need to go get some work done now.

Dont use traffic exchange sites they will most likely get you banned from google
-

I see every one is telling you about a lot of free traffic put sometimes you have to pay for what you what. You need to treat you blog like a real business
.
Step 1 submit your blog to as many directory's as possible ex digg,furl,onlywire,technorati and so on
Step 2 Pay for some reviews from top blog sites.
Step 3 Write or pay for some article and submit them to top blog directory's like www.ideamarketers.com and www.articlestamp.com
Ste 4 Be creative so that people will want to keep coming back to you blog ex have a contest or give something away for free.
Step 5 visit forums and ask for some reviews and comments about your blog
There more but this should be a good start. -

You can't be the boy in the plastic bubble either. -
Why does every advertisement site look the same, they are ugly and it drives me up a freakin' wall!-
Maybe it's a forum spammer who is resurrecting threads so he can post advertising links into them. You can let Admin make the call by simply clicking the report button on every thread he copy and pastes the advertising to.

Whoa, 2007. That was so long ago.-
Yes it certainly is a long time ago. This is a resurrected thread dates back to 8/14/07

There are lots of ways to generate traffic but you have to exert effort into it. Like joining forums leaving back links to your blog, submitting article with a link back to your blog, submit your blog to blog directories, participate to other bloggers by commenting to their blogs with a link back to your blog. get your blog listed on the first page of SERP you can visit this link for more info.

@Timethief,
I have just read through your 20 steps to increase blog traffic. Thank you for this article.
I am a new blogger with a 3 week old blog and I am not web or tech savvy, what simple things could I do immediately to get some traffic to my blog and generate some comments.
I have added adsense and amazon to monetize my blog. I have removed some posts which were going slightly off topic (my blog is light personal development) and I am now starting to add some more content.
I would appreciate any feedback you could give me.

I'm wondering if the information in this post will be helpful when it comes to selecting monetizing sources:
