A great way to increase traffic to your own blog is to leave comments on other blogs. If you're using Google Reader, you can have a separate folder to use for keeping track of the blogs that you should be following. Continually comment with interesting remarks.
Blog frequently. A common mistake some bloggers make is they don't update their blog frequently enough. Any readers who are initially interested will lose interest if they have to wait a long time between posts or updates to articles. A good rule to follow is to compose new blogs each week, and send emails about the updates.
Keep in mind there is a world outside of blogging. If you do not give yourself time to do things away from you computer, you may experience burnout. Schedule time with friends, a walk or a 5 minute break into your day. Taking this time away from the computer will allow you to return refreshed so that you'll be prepared to produce excellent content.
Ask already established bloggers if they would like to write guest posts on your blog. Such posts improve your blog's store of original, high-quality content. You may also glean additional traffic when they let their readership know about their postings on your site. Work with others to make your blog more content rich than ever.
Bloggers are taking over the world wide web as we speak! People blog for many different reasons, and on many different subjects. Luckily, all bloggers can find a place in the blog posting world. Put the information you have learned here to use in making your blog a success.
