2 Very Simple Methods of Blog Traffic you Might Not Have Thought Of

By Coty Schwabe

Method 1:

"Blog Comments"

Blog comments are a very underrated source of blog traffic. Think about it. When you setup a blog, the first blog you're thinking of is your own. Go out and search for blogs with similar theme, feel, thoughts, ideas or overall message.

When it comes to leaving the actual comment, what you say it definitely up to you. But make the comment a question or a really good some kind of comment that makes the reader interested in you. But if you're going to leave a url, only put it once, because many spam filters don't like that and they will shut you down. Many times, I won't even leave a URL unless there is a box that I can put it in at.

Best rule is to put it at the end, after your comment. or just put the url like this -> urlname.com , that way they can put it into their browser and open it, without you getting tagged for spam.

Or this: hxxp://affiliatemarketingrevolution.blogspot.com . Notice the xx's? When you put them into a browser and hit enter, it changes automatically.

Yes I know, I'm a genius.

Method 2:

"Forum Posting"

If you don't know what forums are or if you've never really participated in one, then let's go over them real quick like...

In a forum, all it is is people posting about whatever topics pertain to the forum. Like if it were a certain video game, maybe there are walkthroughs, questions about how to beat certain levels, unlock stuff, picture, etc. Well, one person will make a "thread" which is basically a new question or topic, and then everyone else will make comments on that topic.

When you post, many (almost all of them...) will allow you to have what's known as a signature. (if you already know this, don't think I'm patronizing you, just helping..) This is where you can put a link to your blog or site and it will go on every post you make. DO NOT put it as the actuall comment because a lot of forums will ban you for this.

Find forums that are relevant to your niche, join them and participate in the discussions. Most forums allow you to add a signature link. Use that to place the link back to your blog.

Enjoy the tips!
