(If you missed the first 5 traffic ideas, read them here!)

Of all the successful blogs on the Internet, hundreds more have failed. Running a blog is like running a business website. Unless you are willing to put the time in and treat it seriously, you won’t be blogging long.

That is not to say that the failed bloggers weren’t serious about blogging. Mostly, new bloggers aren’t prepared for the work that goes into creating a successful blog. Just building the blog doesn’t mean that people will necessary come to you. You pursue the audience and give them a reason to see what you have to say.

6.    Submit Blog to Search Engines – Doing this allows your blog to be ranked. Google and Yahoo are two of the most popular search engines you want to crawl your blog pages. It doesn’t guarantee top ranking, though. You’ll have to do some SEO work for that.

7.    Joining Forums – As a blogger, you are a budding entrepreneur. Right now you are marketing yourself to find traffic and then profit. Become a member of business forums, work at home forums and more, to meet new people and share ideas. Search for “marketing forums”, “internet marketing forums”, etc, to find many different forums to join. You can add a link to your blog in the signature line so others can find you.

8.    Visit other blogs – Show your appreciation to those who visit you by also posting comments on their blogs. It is a kindness that shows others you are not just out to advertise your blog alone. Add links to your blog in your comments or mention posts you’ve written on a similar topic.

9.    SEO Marketing – Whatever you write, use relevant keywords. Keyword density between three and five percent is good for getting higher page rankings in search engines. Base your keywords on a research you do to find the most popular words used in search engines for your niche.

10.    Social Bookmarking – Submitting posts to social bookmarking sites allows others who are members of those sites to track you back to your blog.  My favorite bookmarking sites are Digg and StumbleUpon.

I recommend picking your one or two favorite methods and mastering those before moving on.  This will minimize information overload and feeling overwhelmed.
