Ways to get traffic for your blog

Web 2.0Image by BigBlue via FlickrThis is an answer to a query from one of the visitor of my blog. This may not the best way to gain traffic to your blog, but so far this what I've done. Even if you have a good quality post that is worth reading in your blog, but if you don't promote your blog perhaps one or two might be able to stumble on your post but that's it. So in order to attract readers and visitors to your blog you have to do at least one of the following scheme.
1. Do some blog hopping and try to leave a comment in the post that gets your interest and when you post try to make it relevant to the post you are commenting.
2. If you are too lazy to do some blog hopping which in my opinion you must never do if you are a blogger, try to submit you blog to blog directories and here some of my choices:Blogcatalog, Mybloglog, Blogflux, Bloggapedia
There are other blog directories out there in the web but so far this is what I recommend.
3. You may join social networking sites as this sites offers you a lot of exposure to your blog by gaining friends in the virtual world of the web. Some of the best social networking sites are StumbleUpon, Techorati, and Digg. There are other good social network sites that you can choose just have the initiative to scour the web and you will get lots aside from this that I mention.
4. Try creating an account with a news reader like Netvibes or NewsGator as this will help in exposing your blog to subscribers of this readers.
5. Join Entrecard though you must have the drive to drop your card to other entrecard members as this will give your blog more exposure.
6. If you are good at writing articles try to compose one or two and submit it to Article submission sites like EzineAritlces and others, as this sites allows you to place a link to your blog and readers will find your blog through the article you have submitted.
So far this is what I can share to you for now and maybe in the future I can give much more ideas and tips aside from what I have been doing now.
