Hi! Definitely nice and neat site you got there.
This a wonderful list you’ve given, but the thing is before jumping into the list its better to understand the way they work, the basic knowledge about these sites, to attain greater level, nice information, Anil.
To get noticeably better search engine results you should get listed in one or two high quality directories. The best one for the value, in my opinion is Best of the Web. I think the improved results make the fee worth it.

hay
very nice. i do agree with you.
hopely i will try to fellow your sugestions. thanks
hey anil,
i came across your blog and have come to an interested to find out more of what is installed within.
this really is an extensive tips you have provided. kudos for that.
however, as an internet marketer myself, i would highly recommend every new beginner who is interested to make money online today to really keep focus in every way of the process. as mentioned by gupta, there are indeed many ways to go about driving traffic but it all depends to personal individual preference and budget*( if you are opting for some paid service ).
my advice would be to stick on one traffic diving strategy first and work on it. It may sound boring. yes. it may takes a some effort and time but i can assure you that it will be worthwhile in the end. =)
i would personally encourage article marketing which is submitting articles in article directories.
you will find that you will learn a substantial deal of knowledge just practically writing articles. =)
cheers
keep it up.
That’s a pretty good list. More of a comprehensive beginner guide to getting traffic though as those are all reliable, but well-established ways of trying to generate traffic. I agree with Master B that consistency and perseverance are key.
I would also like to add that the value of using Youtube to generate traffic shouldn’t be underestimated! You can really generate some great traffic with compelling Youtube content and if you’re lucky enough to create a viral vid then you’ll get more traffic then you ever dreamed!
–Alden
really a great list..its helps the new bloggers a lot thanks a ton
I agree with Master B that consistency and perseverance are key.
consistent is the power
i am new in blogging and so i have found this share of information very useful for developing my blog and getting some traffic for it . thanks!!
I have read 10 ways but never 26 ways… This is a great list to keep handy!
Thanks for this useful list. According to my Personal Experience the Most Valuable Traffic comes from Search Engines. We should work more for getting high rankings in google and bing search results
Forums have been a huge traffic source for one of my niche blogs. I’m only active once or twice a week and it generates at least 100 or more unique visitors.
Hey, doing a quick search in Big G for this topic, I found this post and find it really comprehensive. I’ve seen these methods talked about in various places, but it’s nice to see them together in one spot. I’ve bookmarked the page.
As a starting blogger, I find commenting on other blogs a fast and fun way to attract some attention to my own blog. It’s actually starting to become addictive. Article marketing is also something else that I do and that’s at hand.
Social marketing is yet another way that I’ve started approaching, and I find it fun to give some real value to my tweets. Once every 10 tweets or so I put a link to the new posts on my blog, so people don’t think the only purpose of my tweets is to advertise my blog. And rightly so.
Having contests is something I’ve seen talked about a lot, but it’s definitely for the more established blogs, with a good amount of subscribers. Can’t do much of a contest with 10 subscribers, can I?
Guest Blogging is definitely one of the good ways to bring more visitors in. More so if it’s a reputed blogger. You show people that he trusts the quality of your blog good enough to consider contributing his work there. It’s a win-win situation for both as he gets to promote his work on a bigger userbase too.
it’s really lots of good info. good site. bookmarked it.
That’s quite a comprehensive list of getting traffic to your blog. In social media I would like to add facebook too as it is gaining popularity from business point of view nowadays.
Good info Anil. Keep it up!
