hey, james here... i've been running a small blog now for a little over a year, and just recently after reading alot on some of these different forums ive started trying to monetize my blog with adsense and am looking to find different easy ways to send lots of new traffic. So far since i started ive just been dropping alot of links in comments i post on others blogs.. and doing social bookmarking which is where most of my traffic comes from using the automated software from .. bmdemon.pcti-system. com .. which im sure most of you are probably using also. But I was jus curious, as im still fairly new to this, what are some other easy effective ways i could drive alot of new traffic to my blog? And furthermore, for those other methods for traffic are you aware of any effective software like bm demon that will automate those methods for me that isnt going to cost me much?? As I work 40 hours a week and often find myself with very limited time to work on this project... Any advice / comments / suggestions would be very appreciated!! thanks

Doing Off-Page Optimization is the best thing to do. Its all about building links. All of the techniques that generates back links fall under this category.

1. Put your website link under this forum as your signature.

2. Be more active in participating in this forum.. for me, i will click on their signature links if i found that their opinions or suggestions are helpful or attractive.

3. leave comments on others' blog. When i say comment, it should be valid... and not "your blog is interesting... check out mine" type.

4. Create facebook group and update them. You can check out Young Entrepreneur facebook fan page. It is up-to-date and very interesting.

Think that's the best, easiest, & cheapest way to gain traffic

I think as a blogger, you should also get a referal from another influential blogger in your field.. It would be like a vote of confidence.
