Top 5 ways of getting traffic :

♦ Topics of the moment:

Write articles based on the most hot topics doing the rounds now. For example, during the release of the pwnage tool of the iPhone 3G, people were searching like mad for a source on how to do it. This is what I call ‘the hot topic of the moment’. I got good traffic when I posted articles on the topic.

♦ Content is King:

No matter what you do or don’t, content is always the main reason you get traffic. Writing proper and relevant content can get you loads of organic (search engine) traffic. Mention keywords and interlink your posts. Keep it relevant, don’t drift away with your imaginations. Its difficult but hey, there was never anything such as a free lunch.

♦ Comment On Other Blogs:

This is another way of getting traffic. Comment on other blogs by issuing your website address in the ‘your website’ information. Usually, people who are first to comment get some traffic from the curious eyes. This way of getting traffic isn’t big, but you still get a decent bunch of people to your blog.

♦ Use Keywords on the title of your posts:

Using keywords as the title of you blog posts is another great way of optimizing your blog on the search engine arena. Organic traffic mostly brought in by Google prioritize on the number of keywords in the post and also the keywords on the title. Using words commonly used by a normal user is a great way of distinguishing yourself on the search engine results.

♦ Submit to Blog directories:

Blog directories like Blogcatalog, blogorama and blogosphere are a great way to get some traffic. These work on the basis of you-give-you-get. You display news from some random blog in the directory while other websites display the news on your site. It also brings in targeted users.

♦Social Bookmarking:
A recent development I should say. Stumbling posts through StumbleUpon, digging posts via digg, bookmarking via delicious and sending tweets to twitter followers are some great ways of getting huge traffic. Generally, a huge number of people just fall on your blog and it helps in many ways.

Well, these are some great ways to bring traffic and it works almost all the time. Feel free to add your tips about getting good traffic below.
