I was wondering if there any good ways to increase traffic to your blogs. I have submitted my blog to all search directories that I could find and various other sites. I know I have good content, its just not very rewarding when not many people look at it.

Content is key and regular and consistent output gets people to check your site out on a regular basis. If you say you will update once a month, make sure you do so.
I started my blog a few years ago and basically wrote for myself until I started writing consistently every day about 13 months ago. Now, I'm getting as much traffic in a week as I used to in a month.
Good luck with your blogs. I liked the inexperienced presidential one (though - as a resident of Illinois - let me correct that Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860, not 1820... no, I wasn't there!).
Write it and they will come!-
Thanks, I must have had a typo with the year. Thanks for your tips.

Have you tried locating blogs that are on subjects related to your own blog and leaving meaningful comments on the posts you found on them?

You also may want to join groups and forums on related subjects as well. There are 29 political groups here at BC www.blogcatalog.com/groups/tag/politics -

Leaving good comments on other people's blogs does help. Posting to forums such as this also generates interest.-
I agree.

Read this post niche-traffic-sale.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-get-traffic-to-your-blog.htm.... Good tips and easy to implement -
you have to spent a lot of time writing, getting in contact with others. if you have a job and work hard, then it is more difficult to take much care of blog. good luck -
Simple ... try to increase the posts (Content)
Experiment with your Posts (Content)
Traffic is something you don't have much control but yea always you can control your content. At least I am making it useful to myself. Others who have similar interest will find it quite useful and have a reason why they should visit your blog.
am I wrong? -
Just keep your fingers crossed! -
Its Quite simple... Use google's Webmaster Tools that are free to use. If you don't know about Google Webmaster Tools. Visit here

this is a very helpful (and timely) thread! In the last month I've really found my focus and started writing and posting regularly. When there are few hits and few comments it's hard to sustain motivation! -
I agree with the above.
Content and commenting are very important, especially now that my visits from Google dropped by 100%. Go figure.-
I'm concerned by this 100% drop. Do you mean search engine referrals from Google?
Do you have a Google webmaster's account?
Have you submitted a site map?
Have you corrected any errors that Google has reported when crawling your site?
Have you checked your site's markup and made corrections if it doesn't validate? validator.w3.org/

Lamirabelle. Something major must have happened. Did your site get banned or links devalued. A 100% drop in traffic is a worry

I've had good results with CommentLuv on "Gaiatribe," because it tags each comment with a person's previous post. Also good are networking sites like this one, Bloggers Unite, MyBlogLog, and Google Friend Connect. They encourage people to visit each other's blogs -- and they tell you who is reading yours. If you click on those people and get in touch with them, you can build readership that way. -
