Without a steady flow of traffic, no online business will last for very long and this is something all merchants are already familiar with.

However, what we're going to discuss in this article, are four methods one can apply in order to secure steady traffic via the use of blogs, which is one of the best online platforms available.

RSS Feeds

Most blogging software such as Wordpress come with a built in RSS feed, which is the equivalent to having a newsletter subscription service, but of course is 100% free and requires no details to be passed over from the subscriber. Most people just let their RSS feed sit there on their new blogs but what you must do is submit your RSS feed URL to as many RSS directories as possible. Therefore, when you post new content on your blog, this is syndicated to your RSS feed and the directories display your most recent posts. This is one of the easiest ways to get immediate exposure every time you post content.

Commenting and Blogs

If you're looking for targeted traffic and some solid one way backlinks to boost your search engine listings, then try commenting on other people's blogs leaving a link back to your website. Providing you post relevant and useful content/comments on other people's blogs, the blog owner will "approve" your comments and you link will then become live. This can bring direct traffic and of course help with your rankings in the search engines.

Guest Bloggers

Allowing guest bloggers to post comments on your site adds a substantial amount of credibility to your own blog but that's not the only reason for encouraging it. By allowing these visitors to post their comments on your site, you're more or less establishing a partnership with them which in many cases could see you then appearing as a guest writer on their blog. Of course when this happens, you stand to benefit from all the additional exposure and the backlinks which you will no doubt have included.

Trackbacks

Essentially, a trackback allows a blogger to know when their material or content has been mentioned or referenced on another blog. In other words, if you for example posted an extremely good post, someone else could be impressed enough to write about you post and leave a trackback which then informs readers that they've been writing about your post. Of course, it's easy to see how this can result in your site receiving higher volumes of traffic but in addition to this, it creates yet another backlink to your blog. Admittedly, there are certain occasions which are more suitable for this approach than others, for example when you have some information which may be significantly helpful to the original blog.

These are just 4 of many ways to explode your blog traffic, but we're not done yet. It's possible to reach dizzy levels of traffic for your new blog right from day one when you have an arsenal of blogger's traffic tactics at your disposal.
