Greetings Earthlings AND All Foreigners from Other PLANETS! Yo, What’s poppin Party People? hehe

Drive COOL Traffic to Your Blog Site!

In this blog post, I’m going to show you exactly how you can get noticed by the search engines faster and ultimately drive more traffic to your blog site with The Ultimate Ping List, plus go over some of the alternative methods of driving traffic to your blog site!

Ok, so you have some content on your blog, but how do you get people to, well, arrive at your site to see it? Its so true that content is king, and you will receive natural (what’s called “organic”) search traffic NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO to optimize your posts, etc.

On the other side of the coin, there is Not One Magic Method that drives ALL of the traffic to your blog site either. The trick is to get in the zone where you’re utilizing several tools to your advantage. Here are some that I use (to start this off).

SEO (search engine optimization): this is really the first step; the foundation if you will; you need to make sure your posts are targeted and optimized for keywords, etc. (this is “on page” SEO). “off page” SEO is an entirely different thing all together!
Tribes (such as Tribe Syndication Association or Daily Crushers): these are free groups for bloggers that come together for one common purpose and that is to drive traffic and get syndications such as comments, retweets, facebook shares, diggs, etc. These are an AWESOME way to leverage the power of social buzz on the internet. You don’t only receive the direct traffic and syndications, you will also in the long term receive “more” because this perks google’s ears up when they see how popular your blog is.
Traffic Exchanges (these are quite controversial; good ones are ThumbVu and Sweeva; my two top favorites): I believe that these can go along way if you use them “properly” … Some people have some very valid arguments against them, but if you’re skeptical, I urge you to just grab a Free Account at ThumbVu or Sweeva and see how it really does integrate Social Media, Personal Branding, List Building and More … TEs or traffic exchanges are no longer what they used to be (when you look at “these two”).
Link Directories, Forums, Classifieds: Just takes time and “very little effort” … that’s why this isn’t my favorite one because of the time it consumes, however it really can be beneficial.
Article Marketing
Video Marketing
Email Marketing
Mobile Marketing (just text “cbiz” to 90210 )

With that being said, there are numerous of ways to gain traffic! Social Media is not precisely mentioned because it plays a role in All (I believe)! Here I’m going to show you another way to get the search engines to notice and crawl your blog site. This has to do with ping engines. See, when you create a blog post you have the option to ping as many sites as you want. I’ll usually just ping a couple or a few that I linked to in that blog post or another one on my blog is a good tactic also.
