I am sure the eagerness would have brought you into the topic so please go ahead with no further delay. If you are running a Blog then I am sure you would love to get more and more Visitors everyday and we call them Technically as Traffic Technically.
I always love to get more and more Traffic to my Blog but at another place I hate Traffic like something, huh it is when I go to my office. If you want to run a decent blog then you must have at least a minimum four figure visits i.e. 1000 a day. Is it easy to achieve? I would say it as possible but not so easy. Though there are many ways, here are the few simple ways to do it, creep into it. Meanwhile don’t forget that Killer articles can drive tonnes of traffic and may also crash your server! And if you are a newbie, don’t expect heavy traffic unless you created a community or platform around you. Also check 5 Things To Keep In Mind Before Starting A Blog. Below you can see 6 simple yet effective ways to drive lots of traffic to your blog or website.
#1 – Guest Post :
This is the best way I would suggest to get few hundred visitors a day. Always have a habit to write one or two guest posts a day with backlinks to your Blog. Try to find out the Blog which accept guest posts on your niche and write for it. I would always suggest you to write it for big Sites/Blog for 2 reasons. You will get loads of Targeted visitors and quality backlink from an Authority site. These 2 guest posts can give you at least 200 Visitors a day.

#2 – Comment :
This is the next best thing you must do to drive traffic to your blog. Here again a simple Google search can get you some niche related Blog/Sites. Do not care about the link type i.e. a dofollow or a nofollow, just comment. This is also a best way to get targeted visitors to your Blog. Make a habit to comment on other Blog and I would suggest spending at least 2 hours a day for commenting. Please make sure that the comments are good when you comment on other sites. By following this way you can get the same 200 visitors a day.

#3 – Article Submissions :
There are thousands of Article directories available today which allows you to submit articles for free. The best part about these directories is that they accept articles which are submitted on other directories as well with 2 free backlinks, what else do you need? I would suggest you to write two small but very good articles and submit it to Top 10 Article directories. Some of them are Ezinearticles, articlebase, articlealley and much more. This way can give you 10*2*2=40 backlinks along with hundreds of visitors. I am sure these 20 submissions can fetch you around 150 Visitors a day. So count it, we are at 550 now.
#4 – Social Networking :
Oh my god these are really turning out to be a big source of Traffic these days. Though there are many Social networking sites I would always suggest you to focus on Facebook and Twitter. I have noticed many times that at least 50 visitors come from my Twitter account for a single day provided I tweet something from my Blog. Facebook is just awesome, the referrals I am getting from Facebook wall and Fan page is getting increased daily. So try to get more fans and followers, I am sure this will give you 200 visitors a day if you have got enough people on your back. So now the count is 750 visitors and we are now left with only 250.
Note: To get the traffic you must have good amount of fans in Facebook and Followers in Twitter.
#5 – Forum Posting :
This is also a very good way to drive Traffic to your site if you use it properly. Go and find out all the Traffic forums on your niche and register on it. Almost 99% of the forums give you two spaces on your profile signature so use that space. Place your Blog links on your space and start posting threads/replies in the forums. Please do not spam the forums as the chances are high for getting banned. Try to post at least 10 threads/replies in 10 high traffic forums for getting 200 visitors a day. So now we are at 950 visitors, bite your nail just 50 more to go.
#6 – Social Bookmarking :
This is also a best way to drive traffic to your site especially with sites like Stumble Upon and Digg. Try to get SU and DIgg from your friends which will definitely fetch you little traffic. The next one to focus is on del.icio.us which can give you handful of visits. These 3 social bookmarking sites can give you 100 visitors a day. So now we are at 1050 visitors, ohh cool we have crossed 1000 already.
Hope you like the share!! Please share your views and add some more if I have missed any!!
i get lots of visitors daily from Facebook and social bookmarking sites like Pinterest and Stumbleupon and i have also registered on your Site For Guest Posting And from Todays Onwards I am Also going for Article submission..In short thanks For providing me with these Tips….!!
This is Nice Post and Easy Way to get Traffic.
Forum posting and blog comments are the most quicker way to get traffic. Thanks for sharing your tips.
Great tips. I find commenting on related blogs work great. That said, commenting on HBB is pretty good too, I have managed to make friends and get a few clicks to my blog. Keep commenting here!
Good one!! It will be very useful for novice Bloggers like me.. 🙂
I expected some uncommon tips after reading the title, most of these tips are scattered in every other blog. You need to give a reason to your visitors to make them revisit your blog 🙂
Anyways, If you are targetting Forum posting and Guest Posting, make sure you post in blogs/forums related to your blog niche or otherwise it won’t give much result
Good Point Saket. We should always write articles which are difficult to get any where else.
@SmashinGeeks
These are all visitors and it will take long time to convert all into your readers
Hi Kavitha, nagaraj and Ahtul
Thanks Guys
These are the must follow tips, and they will really drive more than 1000s of readers and not visitors.
Good information for getting topic. I like submitting to article directories tip. I agree with Jose that keyword rich posts also catch traffic especially from search engines.
Great list for getting traffic.. But most of them unable to follow the full instructions and those who follows will get success and whose fails will create a rumors about that those methods will not works more..
I don't want to create anymore rumors and ready to work on it..
Thanks for such a great list about coll guest writers.
Very Informative post. Looks like Praveen is a expert of this stuff
pretty much same thing dicussed again
@xascd, anish, thiru, atif reshab

@Gabriele:
Yes definitely it can bring you traffic if you have written any nice killer article. You can see my blog or even HBB has many there
Hi Gowthaman seema vishnu
Thanks a lot 🙂 Glad that you liked it
Forum posting a good option, set your url as signature.
Happy to read your guest blog here on Hellbound praveen. As usual valid points that you unveiled to get more traffic. Thanks
thanks for the articles! 🙂 its encourage me a lot!
Big listof comments says how the cool the post was.. thanks for sharing…
nice post , i use many things u mentioned in your post . delicious doesn’t seems to work for me.
Delicious and yahoo buzz both are services of Yahoo.. But I am using Buzz instead of Delicious. It is not doing good for me..
Very nice post, but I have a question: do you have any good practical example of Delicious used to bring traffic to your blog? I use Delicious often but mainly for bookmark-storage and I am kinda interested to know your view on it as a backlink-provider.
nice info 🙂 a whole thing put together
Article marketing is the most common way to drive highly-targeted traffic to your website. However, if you focus your efforts on high profile article marketing you can generate 10 times more traffic.
I like it
my site 10 perday
That’s an interesting article. Many of the tips here are common, but, you made them look significant. Kudos.
Hi Ajith Edassery
I am glad that you liked it
Hi Irfan,
You must write regularly to drive those visitors, it is not possible in 10 posts or so
Hi Jose,
I am glad that you liked it 🙂
Helpful tips for beginners.
Enjoyed reading many of the articles here. A lot of good tips.
I have done guest post for few of highly traffic technology blogs but didn’t got that success which i wanted but commenting always works it gives a back-link + a quality traffic for sure. 🙂
Yes Irfan, It depends on the website. How they are showing your links to visitors. If it is shown at very bottom then you may not get more traffic. But Commenting always works because those other commenter will always visit your website to see any good posts.
If you think differently then article submission can help you to get better SERP. This will help you a lot to get SE attention.
Some really nice points but remember that SU and Digg can give you much more traffic than you mentioned. If you have written an awesome article and it has hot the front page of Digg, you can get 5000 to 10000 visitors in a day.
Similarly viral post on SU can also give you huge traffic.
I am writing original and rich contents but traffic from social bookmarking sites are nill. Any Help? Thanks..
These are proven traffic generation methods for sure. Article submission, guest posting and bulk social bookmarking help more than commenting, social networking etc
Great… This post is just GREAT
So many awesome tips
A must read
Hi Andreas@Linknami
May i know the reason why you would skip article submissions? I am sure it will help in many ways,
Hi sureshpeters
I am glad that you liked it, Yes those are still considered as backlinks but without any anchor Text 🙂
Hi Jane@Find All Answers
You are 200% true 🙂
Hi Karan,
yes those are guest posts. I have mentioned that also 🙂
Hi http://www.thepankajgupta.com
Why not? Try to do what i said in the article and you can definitely see a boost in your traffic
All other Points are really Good. I am doing those except Guest Blogging. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Prabal, Akshay, Rajan, Abhisekh, Vinayak,
Thanks a lot guys 🙂 I am glad that you liked the piece
nice tips !!
I would also skip the article submission and post the articles on niche blogs and my own blog instead then bookmark these urls with social bookmarking services.
Nice tips for increasing the traffic on your blog.
i have one doubt..social bookmarking like digg, stumble,delicious which is consider as bookmarks..so it ll help in backlinks too??
You can submit your bookmarks in dofollow bookmarking sites. You will get backlink credit.
you covered all the points mate 🙂 but there is something to be done..all this before..you need good group of friends all the places..or else you cant make it 😛
Nice list. All of these except #3 has two benefits: First, builds a good network for you as a blogger. Second gives you traffic.
#3 is good for establishing your voice online. The more places people can find your articles the more popular you become. The more authoritative your voice will be in the niche. But make sure you have one consistent name/brand in all places where you do article submission.
Wonderful Article Bro, I agree with all the above points 🙂
Well If we submit the articles to other blogs rather than article submission then it would be of greater interest for the submitter.
Do you agree with me?
I am in both stage i might agree i might agree not as guest posting doesn’t worked for me lastly so i believe its only to give backlinks nothing else.
Yes Irfan. Both are of similar kind. But Guest blogging is having more importance because you will get noticed by all the daily readers of that blog but this may not be true for the article sites.
Article submission is not good for traffic. It is only good for getting some backlinks.
Not true.. You can drive good amount of traffic if you write keyword rich articles and do some promotion.
Actually if you are writing a good article on article sites then it will drive huge traffic to that page and if your article is with full details then reader will not go to other links. What do you think?
Yes Pankaj You are Right. Article Submission will only give you Backlinks but Backlinks can further provide you Traffic.
Awesome article.. valuable for new bloggers like me.. 🙂
