Mommy bloggers get more traffic to your blog
Alot of people join the top sites list in hopes to bring lots of new promised traffic to their site but rarely do these top sites do just that. Most of you are more concerned about what your ranking is rather than finding new blogs to read. So that means less new readers for you too. Top sites lists generally bring in traffic to the top sites list and they rank well in the search engines from all the incoming direct links from all of us that have put the code on our site. So, basically only the first page or so of blog top sites is getting traffic.
After reading this post, I decided I'd jump on the bandwagon that is blogtopsites.com and sign up my blog. I figured I'd could use a new comment or two since I've been lacking in the getting of comments lately. I'm assuming, though, that it's more due to my boring posts than my lack of traffic. I'll blame it on the fact that I'm just not that interesting.
Anyway, I signed up two days only to realize that my blog was in the 500's. Is anyone actually looking in the 500s? I don't think so...
To be exact, I started out as blog #559 2 days ago. I figured that it would take me, oh, about 5 years to get to the front page and by that time no one would even be reading blogs. Hell, no one may be reading blogs in 2 years. Who knows?
Well, surprise surprise! I woke up this morning with a #55 ranking. That's some crazy formula they are using. It's only taken me 2 days to "almost" get on the first page. Now I know it is screwed up but maybe there is something to Kristen's formula seeing as I'm getting lots of good sex lately.
Anyway, if you want more traffic to your blog or sites, don't rely solely on top sites scripts. Here are a few tips for more FREE traffic.
1.) Article Marketing. Article marketing is all about writing articles and submitting them to the hundreds of article directories out there. You can get your articles, of any kind, posted for free on these sites. What's great is that you can put your byline and a link back to your site on every article you submit. Article marketing helps you in several ways and you can read more HERE
2.) Link. Create a reciprocal link blogroll with other sites like your own. It's that simple. If you don't want a long blogroll on your main page then put it on another page or even create a link directory.
3.) Blog and Comment frequently. Fresh unique content on your blog is great. Search engines love new content. Commenting helps bring more visitors to your site and chances are that some of them will find you and stay.
Ok. Enough lessons for the day. If you already knew all of this, I'm sorry to rehash it here but I think many of you could benefit from it.

I try so hard not to be all "HARDCORE" hehe but darn it is feels so good to feel like you wrote something people wanted to read!
I like that article idea! I adore it when people share their "trade secrets"!
You are so not boring! I go through ups and downs all the time! (maybe I am not a good example?!?! hehehe)
Thanks for the help! I need all I can get with this stuff. Plus I really need to make the time to blog and provide good content for my readers.
So, I'm scheduling time to work on this. I hope Socks is doing ok.:)
I SO need to get back into the commenting thing.
Thanks for the info :)
Thanks for the info on article marketing - I really need to get on that. Actually, I need to get on writing something that is actually a useful article, first! ;-)
Great post. Thanks for the info!
If you have a cell phone you must read about the dangers of loosing your personal and confidential data.
Better safe than sorry
This article was a wake up call for me. The article also provides tips for staying safe and secure.
Those are some great ideas. I'm definitely going to use them. Thanks!
Good tips. I think a blog audience is much like making money - you have to work at it.
I've been busy lately, and haven't been able to put as much work into my traffic, and visit other sites. I'm going to give the article writing a go and see if it helps. Thanks!
I agree that the Blogtopsites don't really help your traffic much. I've been listed there for a while now and don't get too many outclicks and I've been on the first page for a few months. I think you really have to be in the top 10-15 to get something out of it.
Thanks for the other tips. Great post!
As much as I love being TOP of something :) I simply do not have the time for it. Just blog hopping & leaving comments will do for the time being.
I'm starting my article right now. Gotta run!
Thanks for these tips. I think your website is great. I think you've been to my new blog that i've just started. I've linked to you on my site.
Thanks heaps
AWESOME! I'm already taking some of your advice, as you can see! I enjoy leaving comments anyway, I'll just have to do it more often. Thanks so much for the advice!
