Maybe just that 1%, it is normal that you are getting 1% of the traffic from unknown visitors who came across your site and out of the 1% how many would continue to surf back? Maybe 0.5% since you niche your blog on "PetLovers". Here are 10 ways i have discovered that could create traffic flowing through and flow at your blog and also gain reputation and respect from other bloggers.
10 ways to Create Awareness for your Blog
Join Blog Communities
This is the most common way now for all new bloggers to communicate with the large crowd of bloggers who are all ready to make more new friends, with a little marketing tweak on your words to invite people to your blog and also a teasing avatar image, you should be able to drive in traffic to your blog.
Exchange Blog Reviews
This has been an on going for ages, whereby 2 niche bloggers decides to exchange blog reviews and linkback to each other blog with key anchor text so that when the update is here, you have more chances to increase your pagerank. It is a tiring job to blog review so many blogs and for each review it is recommended to have at least 250 words with anchor text linked to the blog. Look at how written with more than 250 words.
Technorati me
Its been here for a long time, and its one of the best place to let your blog be known to other bloggers in a short span of time, recently introducing 2 easy programs to shout out to the crowd, WTF and also , its no wonder its an ever popular place to be at, learn to claim your authorship and meet more Technorati friends like how i am setting my targets far and high to . Remember Technorati not only bring in viewership but also increases your alexa ranking!
Allowing Social Bookmarking in your blog
Many Blogs still don't offer social bookmarking on their blog. Socialbookmarking is a good source to create awareness to your blog if your page content hot enough you can even be listed in Digg it Top 100 and there will be thousand of visitors if you happened to be featured. You can also always look at the before deciding
Commenting in other blogs
This has always been one of the way to advertise and create awareness for your blog and yourself, don't leave short sentence like "nice one", "good blog you have there", such short answers will determine you as just a ghost blogger, its always good to leave constructive answers to the questions posed by the blogger or what you have in mind to say, Create a question for the blogger and he will reply you and appreciate you.
Stumble people's page and get stumbled back
Stumbleupon blogs,videos and photos is a good way to create awareness and random blogs shown by stumbleupon has created an increase for bloggers with large numbers of visitors, targeted are they? I will not say they are but just visitors flocking to your blog. Have you yet?
Creating Google Alert in Gmails and joining yahoo answer to answer
Its good to have Gmails since you can publicize your own articles on google, and for those who subscribe to google alerts will receive niche keyword contents through gmail daily, tis a good way to create awareness to other who receives and check mail daily, having a teasing header will allow clicks on your articles direct to your web content.
Yahoo answer allows users to create questions that you face and answer those questions faced among the users seeking for bright and well written answer which could improve your reputation in yahoo and leaving your blog in your answer is going to be the next time you can do after every answer.
Join Niche Forum
I am always in these 4 Forum-DigitalPoint, Warrior, MoneyMaker Group and Internet Marketing Singapore since i love to learn how to make money online, if you like sports or maybe a niche sports like soccer, join established soccer forum and start posting active and leave your blog at your signature, like i say post only constructive replies and start good threads.
Drive your way to a start a contest or be contestant winner
Recently i have just ended my $100 cash giveaway contest and there was a decent group of bloggers out to snatch my $100. My own money from my pocket?Of course not, its my earnings which i made 1 month back and i was out to return to the crowd and , Another point for you to take back, try to use free stuff to attract your bloggers, like free memory card, pens and other freebies that you can think of, have it posted and set the simple rules to join, well you should have created a viral contest.
If you dont have any prize to give away then join and be a winner in other blog contest and if you are wondering where you can find all the best blog contest, give a try, he will review blog contest and very honest with his word, recently a blogger name , he must be joking but who cares, people still joins his contest and tries!
