Many people have many different ideas on how to get traffic. One important thing is content. I see over and over again, that content is king. Well, it is true. You have to have something that interests people to get them to come back to your site. One site I read said that you really need to have at least five great how-to articles. Those are the ones that will get people to check you out. They also said that they should be about 500 words in length. I’m not sure I agree with this, just because I don’t want to stick around and read something really long. Hmm, what do you think?
I also found that commenting works wonders. Comment love, as some people call it. You leave comments and then others will come back and leave comments on you. If they find something they like they may even book mark you. This also takes time because comments should be relevant and not just Hey, love your site.
These communities, send people your way and also give you a fun place to make friends. I’m finding out lots of interesting things about traffic, reviewing, mommy stuff. The Internet is a HUGE source of abundant information. Increasing your Technorati rank seems to be big as well.
I really liked the idea of tag, but I can’t seem to get anyone else to play along
Something else I found that is great and I had no idea that this works, but it does. I had it happen to me. When you write an article, Do not copy and paste. I did this and I was so embarrassed when the person contacted me and told me to remove the content. Dumbo here, realized that is Plagiarism. Be kind, just link to them. LINK not copy. When you link to someone they can find out about it. They will thank you if you copy and LINK, they will not be happy.
So to sum it up
Content
Comments

Blog roll exchange
traffic sources
Don’t be like me and expect fame overnight. It doesn’t happen that way. You have to get your name out there. You can make money too. Over the next week I plan to write two more articles (I have to gather some information first)
One will be How to become a reviewer and the other How to make money on line (I have a small list I’m working on) My test site www.momstartjustadvertising.blogspot.com failed, but I did learn a LOT.
Traffic Source
We all want to know how to increase traffic. This is something I have been working on for a month.
My favorite thing to do, well actually it is a love hate relationship is www.entrecard.com
But it takes so much time.
I’ve also been trying to list myself everywhere.
BlogCatalog
These are slow but they do give you people every now and then. The more sources the better.
This site has a great list of traffic articles smartadvise.info
