How do you get traffic?

[TheMuffin]

After 3 years, and only an average of 28 visits per day, I'm starting to get frustrated. How do you generate traffic to your blogs? Any tips?

[Noobkiller]

Maybe you should submit your blogs to a lot of blog directories. Here's a list of them

also, maybe you should comment on other cooking blogs.

BTW, I know that feeling. My blog Pariah's Guild is getting only 500 hits per day now, even though it usually recieves 800 of them.

Anyway, don't feel discourage.

Provide good content that people 'want' to read and get the word out there. How you go about doing that is totally up to you, though. Getting the word out could be posting on forums, commenting on lots of blogs in your niche, joining social networking sites and utilizing them to the fullest, submitting to directories or whatever you deem worthy. There are tons of articles, blog posts, forum snippets, etc written on this topic with extensive detail, so go digging around....but in the end, it's up to you to really drive them home.

dont forget to tell your friends and family about your blog, you never know what kind of contacts they have

I use a site called link referral. You post your site for free and it appears in sort of a directory. The more sites you visit (upto 30 a day) and review (upto 5 a day) will mean a better position for your blog.

It might take 30 minutes a day but I do get 20 visitors a day from it.

The quality of the visit might be in question but if 1 or 2 a week decide to stick around its good enough for me.

I'd also be interested in other methods? Does anyone purly go after search engine traffic?

What's your blog URL? Maybe if you shared that we'd have a better idea.

Other than that, comment on similar blogs and blogs you like. Participate in forums, social media, and provide good quality content.

Still, well done for keeping at it.

I've just found a system that guarantees every month 1 million visitors to your website or blog for free. Click on this link for more details and sign up for guaranteed web traffic.

they cant guarantee that.. so i think its a scam

I don't know how I get visitors they just come. Posting in forums, links in signatures, referral links, entrecard, SEO (search engine optimization), content.

Try those, but first put the site link in your signature for us

I've also signed up at Link Referral. Just keeping my fingers crossed.
