How to increase traffic for new blogger
This article will discuss how to increase traffic for new blog site. There are a lot of ways to increase your traffic, which you can found on internet. However, most of them are not suitable for a new blogger. So, i decide to to a summary on these methods and list down the strategies for new bloggers.
- Join blogger community such as MyblogLog and BlogCatalog. Create your own community and ask your friends to join. Try to join community which related to your topic and communicated with the members of those community. Don’t just join and wait. Take initiative to visit their site and give your comments. You can join my community at MyBlogLog and my neighborhood at BlogCatalog.
- Add ping to Technorati. You can either manually ping each post of let wordpress ping for you.
- Join Feedburner and let your users subscribe your blog using Feedburner. Feedburner offer a lot of service including ping to some search engine and Technorati.
- Try to create link within your pages and also link to other site. When you use articles from another site, always include their link. They will know it, and your article’s link will appear as a comment at the original author’s article.
- Add social bookmark shortcut icon at the end of each articles. Let your readers bookmark them if your article really good.
- Install Google XML Sitemap plugin for Wordpress. This will create a sitemap.xml file and upload to google when you make post. Google will index your new article after a few hour.
- Finally, make sure you publish good content. Your users will always come back if they like your contents.

Hi DanieL,
Wordpress will include Ping-O-Matic by default. But it seems like got some delay. Before i add technorati in my ping list, my post never appear in technorati’s search……So i think better to include them, don’t just depands on Ping-O-Matic.
technorati recommends that you add their ping url and ping them without going through Ping-O-Matic……
Nice post, definitely a great way to increase traffic. Spreading out and joining communities is what I havent done much yet will do it now.
oh i see, didnt know wordpress includes Ping-O-Matic as i didnt use it before.
yeah, normally i’ll ping technorati manually while using Ping-O-Matic and other Pinging tools =)

Good tips bro,
There’s a problem with xml sitemaps.
Earlier google used to index my blog almost every week, but since I submitted the sitemap google has stopped indexing my site.
I guess it affects the search results…
