What Three Ways Do u drive Traffic To Your Blog?

[~kev~]

My main sources of traffic are ranking well in the search engines and video blogging on sites like youtube. Youtube is one of my blogs main source of targeted traffic.

# 1 is stumbleupon, but it's only with a high bounce rate! I have over 500 followers on twitter, but absolutely no conversion!!??
#2 is organic from google searches
#3 is blog carnival traffic
Dumb question: how many times per day should I tweet about a new post? With so many followers I feel I should do it several times a day, but don't want to bug people, either.

1. YouTube
2. Forums
3. Facebook

1. High profile public sites/forums that I participate in
2. Google organic searches
3. Article submission sites

Not necessarily in that order.

Maybe I am too new at this and don't really know what I'm talking about. However, I have observed that the bloggers who really take time out to respond to those who comment on their blogs are the ones who have the most followers and traffic. I understand the need to have a lot of traffic to your blog for business reasons but authentic exchange still brings in the most people, in my humble opinion.

I post on forums. Not just bloggin forums, but all forums. You'd be surprised how many people click on a link in your signature. I comment other blogs, which is not a huge success, but does give me a few. I also use the social bookmarking sites such as Digg.

Content Continuity, bolded keywords, and forums

I heard dig was a great way to drive traffic to your blog. Nearly Every one think posting on other blogs will drive traffic to your blog, but it seems that comments are less when twitter is there. SEO should be one of the top three.
