That is my blog. What are some of the best ways to drive traffic to the site? Also, how do I make it appear on google search. It's supposed to be automatic, but maybe subdomains don't appear? I have my own domain names for sites other than my blog but those are not up and runnng yet.

What are some ways that people get traffic in the beginning? --I don't want to spam forums, but it seems to be the way that is generating the most visitors for me. (I dont mean spam spam, i mean i'm getting traffic from my posts.)

Thanks.

Well, there are several decent ways to drive traffic to your site. The simple rule is be involved--which you are already doing by participating here.

The best way to spread your site is just to get yourself out there. Participate in forums, post to social media and list your blog in your profile, link to other bloggers in your posts to generate trackbacks, write guest posts for other bloggers and comment on larger blogs with similar subjects to generate links and get exposure. Commenting is big.

There are some services like Blog Rush (see my sites for a widget) that can get you traffic, but the best way is just to market it yourself by getting out there.

For Google, try going to Google Webmaster tools and go through the process to submit your site. This should only take a few minutes and will speed of the process of getting you indexed.

Hello rmartirosian
Look what I did to get more visitors on my website :I've got an online store and desperately need traffic, as business is running slow. I googled 'opt-in email advertising' and tested each week the companies I found there (used the first ones listed on that page) and got a lot of traffic, but the sales did not increase too much. Acceptable results I got for taketheinternetback.com where I paid 1000 emails for $15 and got not only traffic, but also some sales. I think that it was a good choice.
Good luck.

Here's some tips to get more traffic to your blog!

1. Make a youtube video in your niche.
2. Comment on other blogs. Some blogs have the application "top commentators" which may give you alot of traffic
3. (as someone said before) Make a few guest posts. It's really important that you offer quality posts.
4. Linkexchange?

Try google - it's alot of quality "how to get traffic" posts there.

Two proven ideas for driving traffic... This isn't pie in the sky stuff, its proven and works. Article marketing and link exchanges.

Google ad words---effective although can be expensive if your not too sure what your doing as you will be charged per click that is everytime someone clicks on your link.

Traffic exchanges-- will get traffic but it will not be quality traffic as most of these traffic exchanges are run by paying thousands of wanna be internet
millionaires 1c to click on your ad.

email blasting-- will blast your email out to a million opt in subscribers to a site that no one would other wise go to other than to get free traffic,so again
in my opinion pretty much useless.

I think it really depends on how much money you have to burn,ultimately 50%
of what you spend either way will be wasted.
