Four Easy Methods For Getting Free Web Traffic To Your Blog
A blog without readers is pretty much worthless. If you’ve been blogging for awhile now and have only been getting a trickle of readers to your posts, you need to put a free web traffic system into action. Learning how to create traffic is as much of a necessary skill to bloggers as writing quality posts is. Many bloggers are excellent at creating content however know very little about building traffic.
This is a quick guide to the four most popular (free and most successful) traffic building approaches.
- You Need To Be Social!
Social networking and blogging go hand in hand. Your blog posts can be distributed over social networking sites in many ways. Sign up for Twitter and tweet about your posts as soon as they are published to you blog. Update your Facebook status with a link to your new blog posts. Submit your posts to Digg.com, Reddit.com and StumbleUpon.com. etc… It’s also important to remember that in order for social networking to work, you’ll need to participate with other people in your social community. If you visit their links and respond to their updates, they’re more likely to do the same for you.
- Make Sure You’re Noticed!
Look for blogs in your niche and start following their posts. Always contribute informative as well as useful comments on their blog posts. Not only will the blog owner notice you and visit your blog, other commenter’s will also visit your blog to find out more about you and your related site. There’s no need overdue commenting, but make it a point to leave comments on several relevant blogs each day.
- Get Your Message Out There!
RSS feeds are a good way to syndicate your blog’s content so that it’s sent to a variety of people in their own blog readers or on their own sites. Most of the blogging systems have RSS feeds automatically included, however you can add extra features to your feed by using a free service like FeedBurner.com. With FeedBurner you can add things like sharing the feed via e-mail so it will pull in new readers and encourage previous visitors to come back to the blog again and again.
- Syndicate Your Blog Posts!
As a blogger you may think that there’s no need for article marketing. The truth is that you can get a lot of visitors to your blog simply by re-writing several of your most popular posts and adding them to article directory sites. You can convert your favorite posts as articles with a link back to your blog to many different article directories. Not only will you get valuable one-way links but your articles are often picked up by others who will publish them on their own blogs which will bring you more traffic.
These four ways of starting your free web traffic system can be used over and over again to help build traffic to your blog and increase up your readership.

Hi, Luca!
I agree with your methods, I’ve been using all of them too (more or less) and I can testify that the last one worked quite very well for me, helping my posts get high rankings for certain keywords I was targeting (first and second spots on all major engines Google, Yahoo and Bing) and after a while even PR3 for those…

These are some great points Luca and ones I do follow but probably need to be doing it a lot more. have been getting into sending out articles a bit more, never can get enough traffic. Ezine Articles is really good especially one you get to Platinum status as your articles are approved a lot faster. Thanks.

Hi Luca,
Nice post. These are 4 key components that any blogger should keep in his arsenal.
A key point to remember when commenting is (as you mentioned) to make “informative as well as useful” comments.
You should never just leave a comment saying “Nice Post”. Make sure you are giving something of value to the readers.
I see comments that are canned responses all the time on my blog and they always go straight into the trash, especially when I see the same exact comment on more than one post.
I don’t need my blog cluttered up with empty words. I want my readers to gain something from the comments as well as the posts.

Exactly what I do to Allen, those type of comments don’t deserve to get backlinks. Askimet catches most spam comments but some do get through – thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment

Luca, this is solid advice.
I wouldn’t limit the “get social” part to just social media. Internet Marketing is incredibly social in nature. It’s who know you that matters. There is a place for good ol’ networking, be it on skype or face-to-face where possible (usually marketing seminars and conferences).
