I know it's tough, you spend so much time putting all your hard work into finally publishing something online and then.... no one is there to read it, not to mention subscribe to it. Well every beginning is tough, but don't drop your head. There are a few simple ways to increase traffic, but beware nothing beats the no. 1 rule in search engine marketing: 'up to date unique content'!
Here are the other 10:
1. Set up an Rss feed to your MyYahoo account so Yahoo crawlers will register updates quickly. Here is how: Yahoo Publishers guide
2. Set up a Google analytics tracking code in your blog, or at least your linking website. Again this makes sure that update or the blog will get noticed by the search engine crawlers.
3. Contribute to the online community, by being actively enveloped commenting and posting on other forum or blogs within your field. It doesn't hurt to leave witty marks, as it reflects better our your style if you know what I mean.
4. Make sure you ping your posts as it won't be found otherwise. Word-press and some blogs will ping your posts automatically. Otherwise use www.pingomatic.
5. Register your blog with other search engines and meta crawlers. bing ; Google ; Yahoo
6. Submit your blog to blog directories such as Google's Blogsearch and blogarama.com
7. Create a link to your blog on every page of your website.
8. Have links to your blog on your facebook, myspace and twitter accounts. In fact put a link on all online profile you own and get your friends and family to promote it on theirs as well.
9. Include a link in you email signature, on as many email accounts as you have.
10. Make use of trackback links from other blogs and add lots of relevant feed from news-sites or blogs
But after all nothing will get both your rankings in the search engines and with it traffic than bloggin regularly fresh and original content. Remember you've got a hell of a lot of competition in the world and you've got to find something interesting and useful for others to read.
