- 1). Join or host "blog hops" -- where bloggers are encouraged to visit and read other blogs, leave comments and draw viewers back to their own blogs. For example, create a Monday Music blog hop where you write an entry about your favorite new songs. Then link this page to the original blog hop site with your name and blog address, comment on the entry, visit other blogs listed on the page and comment. You can make new blogging friends this way, drive traffic to your blog or both. If you write high quality entries, people may even start following your blog.
- 2). Join social networks to promote your blog. Post your entries to Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. Your friends and followers can then read your entries by clicking the link. You can set up an account directly for your blog, and ask friends to "like" you or follow your account on Twitter. This is a direct way to not only promote your blog, but also connect with your readers.
- 3). Add your blog to search engines. Google and Yahoo have easy applications to add your blog to their searches. When you incorporate SEO writing and linking to your blog, it will also have a higher search result than without. Use these techniques to draw attention to your blog.
- 4). Link with other bloggers to drive traffic. Utilize blogs that are similar in content or have high traffic. Ask to guest post to drive traffic to your site, as well. This means sharing a post with another blog that links back to yours.
