One vital theme for blog owners is how to boost traffic, which is easier than it seems, once you know how. Learn in this little guide.

It seems pretty clear, but many bloggers, even the most experienced, don’t sign up for pinging services. If you’re new to blogging, pinging means that when your blog is updated, a “ping” is sent out by the service to let pinging sites know that your blog has been updated. People who are visiting sites with pinging services will then see your blog flash across the side of the screen as “newly updated.” Pinging services include Yahoo’s blogs, weblogs.com, Google Blog search and ZingFast, there are much more but for your start this one’s should give.
2: Sign up for Technorati
If you go to technorati.com, you’ll see an option on the left side of the screen to “Claim Your Blog.” Doing so allows you to get updated link counts, add your photo or branding to Technorati and see your Technorati link. Having your blog claimed on Technorati helps to increase traffic because the millions of people who go to that site will have a chance to see your blog listed there.
3: Sign up for FeedBurner, an RSS service
FeedBurner basically helps you to promote your blog’s content, and to build and measure your audience. And have some nice widgets to put on your blog.
4: Bookmark your blogs at places like del.icio.us
You can set up an account and profile at del.icio.us. From there, you can add links to your blog, as well as excerpt. When a user visits your profile on del.icio.us, they will see a link to your blog and excerpts. There are other social bookmarking sites that you can use in much the same way. All of these social bookmarking sites can help you increase traffic.
5: Post comments at other blogs
Here, you should visit similar blogs to your own, post rightful comments and then sign your name(along with a link to your blog…VERY IMPORTANT). This way, people know you aren’t there just to promote your site—you’re there to post a good piece of feedback and also say where you’re from.
6: Ask owners of other blogs to post a link to yours
Ask some webmastes that seems that have some good traffic to exchange links with you.You help him to grow and he helps you :P
7: Use keywords in your blog
Like normal Web pages, having a good keyword density on a blog is a wonderful way of getting search engine spiders to notice your page. (FYI: Search engine spiders are programs from search engines that browse sites and report back their findings to the search engine database, which then lists that site. The more keywords on your site, the more likely it is for a search engine spider to pay a visit)

If your normal blog posting is around 200 words, use 2-6 keywords per blog post. This create a keyword density of between 1 and 3 percent, a respectable number. Remember that you don’t want to use too many keywords, as that will make your blog look bad. Also be sure that the keywords used are significant to your blog. Before even making a blog posting, decide what the post will be about and then select a keyword or two to use in your post. This will help to increase your traffic.
