Need To Get Traffic To Your Blog? Get Traffic The Sociable Way

By Preston J. Davis

The newer way to get traffic to your blog is through social bookmarketing. To use social book marketing you need to create accounts so you can submit your blog and tag it.

The reason that you use tags is so that you will be able to find it later but you are not the only one that can find it. Putting the proper tags is very important because it allows people that are interested in what your blog is about to find it.

People can then grab your feed and use it on their site or pass it to their friends that would be interested in it. This provides you with a ton of high quality one way links back to your blog that can rank you high within the search engines and send you a high amount of organic traffic.

If this is how you're going to get traffic to your blog then you need to make sure that you are actually social. If you never submit any other feeds other than yours you'll get quickly labeled a spammer and get kicked off the social bookmarketing sites.

Another very sociable way to get traffic to your blog is forum marketing. Putting links in your signature is a great way to get people interested in your blog. Make sure that your links will capture somebody's interest.

In order to find forums that are relevant to your blog topic go to Google and type in "your blog topic + forum" and it will pull up a list of all of the forums in that category.

If you want to get traffic from the forums you need to show them your an expert. The best way to do this is to make sure that your posts are accurate, well knowledgeable, and actually help the people that ask the questions. If you do this people will be interested in what you have posted on your blog. You want to contribute to the community, not spam .

Another good way to get traffic to your blog is through article marketing. If you are already forum marketing then you will have an unlimited amount of things to write about. To easily compose an article just go to the forum and see what questions people are asking and either answer them or see what other peoples answers are. Simply take the information you learned, rewrite it into your own words, and submit it to article directories.

The more articles you submit the more traffic will get your blog. If you want to see a major increase in traffic your blog than you should consider using an article submission site. Article submission sites are able to submit unique articles for you to thousands of directories.
