Welcome to the first article in my series on - How to start getting more Traffic to your Blog.

When you first start out on your Blogging journey, getting more traffic to your new blog is a very high priority. There are various ways you can go out this, such as:

  • Use Paid Advertising.
  • Comment on other blogs in the same niche as yours.
  • Write Posts That other People Will Want To Read
  • Submit Your Blog To Directories or Traffic Exchanges.
  • Use the power of Social Bookmarking and Social Networking.

Over the next few posts I am going to concentrate on using Social Bookmarking and Social Networking to help establish your blog.

Why use these techniques I hear you say!

Well if you look at the Traffic rankings section of sites such as Alexa you will see that some of the most visited sites in the world today are either Social Networking or Social Bookmarking sites. In fact sites such as You Tube, My Space and Facebook generate as much, if not more traffic than the Top search engines.

I was lucky enough recently to be invited to join the latest brainchild of Jack Humphrey of ‘The Friday Traffic Report‘. His new Social Marketing Central Network helps people build their social authority on sites such as Digg, StumbleUpon, Squidoo and HubPages. This in turn helps to drive traffic and then hopefully loyal readers back to your blog.

Jack provides some of the best tips on how to use these sites effectively.
