    Hey Alvin. My 3 top traffic sources other than direct traffic (according to Google Analytics) are:

    1. Google
    2. StumbleUpon
    2. BlogCatalog
  2. Siouxfire
    1. Direct communication with other people either by email, phone, or face-to-face - one-to-one networking basically
    2. Extensive linking within posts
    3. Promoting online via forums/groups and offline at events
  3. WebGyver
    Since my BLOG is aimed at web developers: making some meaningful comments on web development BLOGs and providing a link back to my web site.

    Additionally, I am working on some in-depth articles that I will give away in eBook and/or multimedia format . . . for free, of course.

    Here's the best method I've run into so far, and I mean it quite seriously: post something good. I'm always amazed by the result. It's as if people were paying better attention than my FeedBurner subscription statistics suggest.

      Optimize your content for the Search Engines.
      Try using Hittail for a start. Here's an article about hittail that might help.

      m sorry for being ignorant.

      what's SEO?
    2. zology
      SEO means Search Engine Optimization...it is a set of techniques, HTML and keywords that are coded into your website that help make it more easily searchable by spider-robots organically (not using paid keywords) used by search engines to index and rank your website or blog. SEM is a combination of SEO techniques and Search Engine Marketing. There are over 15 million websites out there now so if you want to get noticed by reaching the top 100,000 mark you can either hire me or some other SEO guru at $200/hr or start reading up on the subject. I use Google, StumbleUpon and BlogCatalog for my blogs among others. 'NUFF SED.

    Networking networking. I've always linked to my website via any online networking community, I also have a lot of face time everyday. Even when people tell me they hate what I write about or that they think I'm wasting my time - I enjoy it. I write for me not them.
