Thanks for the great tips, Darren. I was experimenting with widgets lately and will try the Twitter background idea. Wondering, did you create the URL link section using sikiş a widget, or other code? Also, I’ve been in Twitter for a while now and find people don’t respond even though I ask a lot of questions and try to help people. Any suggestions?:

Leverage is the key. Leverage. Lean on things and make them work for you. Twitter is a great example- its a has industry behind it. What you tweet gets recorded and published creating back links in dozens of places. See how I have leveraged twitter. Follow me there.

It’s great that you point out what a useful comment is. If we want to get quality traffic from commenting on a blog post, we better help the author out as much as possible by adding relevant information while using keywords that are in the post.

I also write Amazon reviews at amazon.com and this generates some extra traffic for my e-zine.

I utilize a lot of these methods and I know that blog commenting definitely helps to find new readers and increase traffic. I should start focusing on optimizing my social media pages, however. Nice tips!

Hi Darren

I agree about the forum. But I also use http://www.craigslist.org, and http://www.kijiji.ca, where I post free ads regarding my free report. I find I get pretty good results from this.

Also if you can afford it using offline advertising methods like radio, billboards, newspaper, etc.

Thanks
Tressa

This is an excellent post! I’ve been leveraging some of these, like Facebook, forum signatures, and blog comments. But there are so many good ideas here that I never even thought of! I especially like the idea of embedding links in YouTube videos/descriptions. Thanks, Darren!

I have been testing new ways to drive traffic to my blog – trying to understand what works and what doesn’t. The particular tests have been around how search compares to social networking to offline PR to blog/community involvement. I have done some analysis in a recent post that you might be interested in: http://dominiquehind.wordpress.com/2008/11/01/whats-working-on-my-blog-stats-update/

A quick summary is that it shows the main search drivers to my blog are keywords around my name (ie the conscious thought). There are only a few unconscious keywords (ie unrelated) that have been driving traffic. I have found the most popular way to drive traffic is definitely through social networks – particularly when you reference your URL in your profile and then in your status. I will definitely update all of my images to include the blog URL in them – great tip.

I would be interested in your thoughts and really enjoy reading your blog.
