    Use quality titles with the appropriate keywords and then use those keywords in the blog post. Figure to yourself how someone will search for what you just wrote.

    comment often and frequently on other blogs, do a good job of running SEO on your own blogs, learn how to work social media networks, are the three top answers you will get from me for quality traffic.

    You know your doing a good job when you are still getting traffic to posts you wrote 3,6 or even 12 months ago.

    This is among the most common questions that are posted to the forum and a wealth of answers have been provided by BC members. I look for blogging tips in the forum Discussion search box in the sidebar. I type in terms like "increase traffic" and I get instant results. Maybe you would like to check them out www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/search.php?q=increase+traffic
    The very first search result produces 20 tips that you can use

    My best ever way to get traffic was one hot-or-not type of service that allowed links in your profile. I don't know any of them in English unfortunately. I could clearly see when I had changed my pictures on the statistics. Competition was low too, most of the chicks didn't have websites, so I collected all of the curious people, and a lot of them stuck around. (If you know a service that allows links, let me know too.)

    set up a marketing plan....I find it very useful and rewarding when I have a marketing plan to follow.

    consistent post + follow your marketing plan should give you traffic.

    Getting traffic is easy, keeping them is an art.

    How to use Digg effectively

    How to use stumbleupon effectively
    onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2008/04/01/how-to-use-stumbleupon-effectively/

    The key things to accept are this.
    (1) Only unique, high quality content posts ought to be submitted. Yup read it and absorb it - not every post you write will be considered worthy of stumbling and digging. If you insist on prevailing upon others to vote for every one you write your "friends" will stop submitting and voting for your posts.
    (2) Never submit your own posts. While it's true you may slip the odd one in here and there at stumbleupon - it's best to avoid this getting into self serving practice altogether.
    (3) Read the ToS of each social network very carefully, become fully aware of their contents and do not break the terms of the contract that you agreed to.
    (4) Be aware that your activity is being traced at both sites so if you become part of a partnership or gang that perpetually submit one another's post then you can expect to become detected and even given the boot.

    There are BC groups

    Keep your links relevant and let people know you have linked to them. Often they will return the favor.

      A year has passed since this thread was created and I can contribute more to it now.

      In blogging content is king and marketing is queen. If you write high quality original content and promote it then the result may be an increase in organic traffic, or not. If it’s not easy to locate your content in search engines then there will be no increase in new traffic. Thus, what determines success is two things:
      * whether or not your content is found, and
      * whether or not the readers who do find it become subscribers.

      The following post contains step by step instructions for employing 25 strategies that will insure your content is found and encourage an inflow of readers, who may become subscribers. In other words, employing these strategies will increase organic (unpaid) traffic to any blog.

    There are so many ways to get traffc and you can use whatever you want but please do not participate in "Cadenas de enlaces" srry i don't know how to write it in english, does someone help me pls?

    Regs!
    1. timethief
        I'm sorry I cannot help with this. I believe "Cadenas de enlaces" means "to lock or intertwine" but I cannot fathom how that fits into the context of ways to increase traffic to one's blog.

        Perhaps someone else can help with this.

      It's when someone, make a post with only Links as content. And he says:

      In order to add your link you need to post another topic including all the links in these page, the other participants have to update their post to include you.

      Somehing like:

    Stand in the intersection naked. Guaranteed traffic.

    The best way is to use a combination of several things.
    video marketing, blogging, articles, posting, social media
    and using free and paid strategies.
