Smart Tips on Getting Traffic to Your Brand New Blog

Blog Smartly has been officially online for more than 24 hours. In the 24 hours, this blog has received 1 comment (whoa, one comment!) and a few dozen hits. In my opinion, I had a very successful blog launch.

In this post, I’ll share what I’ve done to get more traffic to my new blog.

Get more Traffic to your Blog

1. Comments

Ah! What is a better way for driving traffic than comments? In the first few days of starting my blog, I’ll go wild and comment on every post that other blogs make and guess what I get? A truckload of traffic and comments in return. If you comment frequently, you might find yourself in the top commentators list of other blogs. So, start by commenting on this blog.

2. Entrecard

I always recommend and use Entrecard for driving traffic to a new blog. I just set up my Entrecard account a few hours ago, and I already have three requests for advertising on my blog. If you have a new blog, then follow my advice. Start visiting other blogs in your niche that have Entrecard and drop your card there. Do this for about 50 blogs a day. You’ll get 50 more visitors for your blog. Along with dropping I recommend that you drop a comment on their latest post. Others will return the favor.

3. Social Bookmarking

Using the power of social bookmarking, you can get as much traffic as you desire. Social bookmarking sites like Digg, StumbleUpon and Sphinn make you site noticed to others. Why not do me a favor and submit this post to a social bookmarking site?

4. Giving link love to other blogs

Linking or mentioning other blogs will make them visit your blog and drop a comment. They might even mention you in their blog. For example, I’m linking to Standout Blogger. He might drop in and say hi (Please Tom, I’m believing in you). If possible, try to write a link love post once a week. You’ll get quite a lot of comments on that one.
