How does everybody get so much traffic?

Topics: Help, traffic
My blog is still very young and most days I'm lucky if I get 10 hits to my blog. Some days, if I spend all day joining in on discussions here, I'll get 20 or more hits. Am I doing something to drive traffic away from my blog or am I missing something entirely?
Please help!
Criticism is welcome,

I write humor posts which are very popular with Stumblers. I'm still not getting a great amount of traffic but I'm averaging 175-300 uniques from StumbleUpon per day.
I don't know if your blogs content is good for that - I'll check now.
I suggest you add more images to your blog. It makes it much more reader-friendly.
I like your layout. It's very easy on the eyes.-

The guest post seems good Humor material. I'll submit it and you can tell me if you got any significant traffic
-
-
what kind of images would you suggest?
-
Anything that relates to the content of the post. For example, on your most recent post on jet fighters you could include some jet fighters. Add an image with proper attribution and it instantly makes the post more interesting. Make sure to always credit the author/website you found it on.

I've updated the post, let me know what you think?

Much better. Just keep doing that and I'm sure traffic will improve.

I will make you feel better I think I have good content but I dont get that many hits but then I am happy to have the odd lost soul wander my way-
thanks robinj, I've been one of those lost souls wander by your blog on more than one occasion!

Any other bloggers willing to lend some constructive criticism?
-
I stumbled two of your posts, I believe. Let me know if that helps - I'm getting more interested into how StumbleUpon users think.

Thanks, any help is very much appreciated!

You got 56 pages in Google. That is a high amount. Just keep making new posts.
Google seems to change the amount of pages all day long it seems that it indexes. I am not sure why. Sometimes my blog has 156 pages indexed by them, then I check and I got 176 pages. It bounces around all the time.
If you made say 1,000 post, you have a chance that Google may index all 1,000 pages which will get you more traffic.-
How would I find those stats mikeny07?

thanks, I'll give that a shot!

My visitors per day hardly crosses over the two figure barrier.
I am pretty sure my content is to blame but then that's what I can come up with, so I am ok with it. -
I recommend StumbleUpon... or joining other social networking sites.
StumbledUpon, for me, has been the biggest traffic booster.. hands down.
Also be patient Write well researched, informative content and develop relationship with other bloggers. Especially the ones in your niche (if you have one) It all takes time but if you keep nurturing it. It will grow.
Good luck -
I've been slowly building my traffic in various ways. I had 4500 uniques so far for November, and get about 250 visits per day. My suggestion is to get out there and promote your blog. Trade links with other bloggers, post your blog in your signature in forums you visit. SEO is also important... there is alot of information available about how to improve search engine traffic. I think most importantly, keep adding quality content. "Content is king" as they say. The more you have, the more likely someone will find your site. -
submit to socail bookmarking sites like digg.com and pe.oples.info -
Cool! -

I see big trafic on my blog only sundays... very curious ! :)) -
I still can't get over the spikes that come from left field--no known origin. Everybody here seems to be able to pin down an origin. Not me.-
jackpayne, install Google Analytics Then you can tell where everyone is coming from and what they are looking at on your site.

Have you tried free traffic exchange sites?
-
If you blog during rush hour, there's bound to be more traffic. Cheers! -
Just create origional, quality content and promote your blog.
For promotion, participate in forums such as BC and other related to your niche, comment on others blog, network with other bloggers etc. -
Remove the feed and hit counter. It will make the readers demotivated -

content is king people will go to your site for something new,unique,funny,etc...
my last post got me 5000+(analytics) visits before my webhost shut me down for exceeding bandwidth. now I moved to a new host with unlimited bandwidth I still have to test them. most visits came from stumbleupon aside from other sources. I would suggest joining digg,propeller,delicious,reddit to give your site coverage but you need meaningful content to be ranked/voted.
but if you want to be taken seriously get a domain name, anyway with blogger,it has a feature to make your site pointed to a domain.

Yes, content is king, but I think my blog (fineartathome.com) may be too unique.
I have a fair amount of content, and have a lot more to add, but I am still only seeing maybe 20 uniques a day from here and search engines. Very few Stumblers. Most are from Google Image searches.
