Ways to increase blog traffic
- Content is king! If you want readers, they need something to read.
- Tag, you're it! Tags increase searchability and findability in search engines such as Google and Technorati.
- Comment! Think of the golden rule. Do unto others. Don't forget to include your URL when you leave your comment.
- Cite your references! When you create your post, include the Trackback URL so that your post shows up on the cited blog's comment stream. It's also nice manners.
- Go offline! Talk up your blog with your friends, peers and those you meet/network with. Ask them to get involved.
