Want Website Traffic? Start A Free Blog! by Tammy Embrich
Blogging has become increasingly popular in the past couple of years. There are more and more blogs created everyday on a vast array of topics. Both personal and business.
If you own a website, then you know how difficult it is to get exposure to it. Creating a blog is one of the best resources there is today for receiving that exposure.
Like anything else…it takes hard work on creating interesting content on a new blog and getting traffic to it. Focus on your website or business when creating new posts and always try and add something new everyday. Try and connect with your creative side…we all posses some level of creativity! Give it a try…you just may surprise yourself at what you manage to conjure up.
Topics:
Concentrate on what people may be searching for today on the Internet. A lot of people are searching for content for their existing websites, marketing advice, and/or finding work at home jobs and home businesses.
While some people may be just searching for friendship and are interested in simply having a good time…getting to know others, conversing about current events, funny jokes, and the like. Some people are interested in infant clothing, toys, various baby items, and parenting tips or advice.
For example: If your website focuses on women’s interests…then center your blog around women’s interests, support groups, parenting issues, bargain shopping, household items, recipes, or whatever your website content may be. Try and make your blog posts as interesting as possible to try and keep people coming back for more.
Tips On Getting Comments:
1) Simply invite people to join in on the conversations and encourage them to comment on the various posts within your blog description.
2) If you own a website and message board, and you have advertising space available for other webmasters or business owners…announce a contest on your message board offering free advertising for the person that posts the most comments on your blog. ( I have a good friend that has done this very thing and it’s working great for her.)
3) Give people a chance to self promote their websites or businesses through their comments.
4) Offer something free…for example, a free ebook or some kind of software.
5) Participate in message boards, announcing your blog, and request their opinion. Ask them to place a comment post and share their thoughts and opinions about your blog.
Promoting Your Blog:
1) Advertise your blog on various message forums.
2) Include your blog link in your signature within message forums and emails.
3) Submit your blog in blog directories.
4) Exchange links with other bloggers.
5) Write articles relating to blogging and submit them to article directories.
6) Advertise your blog in various newsletters and ezines.
7) Include your blog link on any websites you may have.
One Last Thought:
Have fun with your blog. If there is something (off the wall) that you want to share or you think is really amusing…share it in your blog. Write about anything you feel like writing. The possibilities are endless!

Looks like some great ways on getting comments…I never thought of it that way.
How are you? Long time no hear from you? Hope you’re in the best of health.
What do you think? Should I create a new blog or carry on with the old blog using a brand new domain name and host it with Blog*Spot?
See you around. Greetings from Kuale Kangsor.

Great article and great tips on how to start and promote a blog, thank you. I’ve recently started my own blog and I’m glad to see people to come and discuss my articles.

jason,
we all love wordpress hehee
Great tips. One of the things you also need to do is to go to pingomatic each time you post content and enter your blog address and feed. This website will ping your article to about 10 other websites.
There’s a reason your visitors came to your site. Are you fulfilling their expectations? If people visit your blog one day and you’re talking about PHP coding techniques but the next time they visit your blog you are reviewing the movie you saw over the weekend, you may find yourself having a hard time building a steady core of followers.
i tried with blogspot b4 and found that it is familiar to use but got lot of thing cannot be adjust properly like alignment issue. and some limitation..so now i prefer with own domain and own hosting…
You can always use traffic boosters. They are software with limited(alexa booster) or no
installation(increasesiterating) both relay on increasing the numbers of the total page visits and unique
page views
One blog won’t make a huge difference effortlessly, but a few blogs at once might do your site good ^^.
that true just adding a blog want make a huge difference,adding the right blog or something that they are in search for could do the trick.

Yes, this is a very effective way to build traffic. You just have to keep putting good content there that is unique.
Free blog doesn't guarantee traffic unless you will build links on it.
yup unique and compelling content
