There are several factors that make blogs a lot better than static WebPages including the rapidity at which blogs get indexed, power to submit to blog directories & normal directories, pings and track backs. All these small things can help drive a lot of traffic to your blogs.

Here are 15 popular methods you can use:

1.) Create two to four keyword posts per day. Most of the top blogs such as Boing Boing, Daily Kos, and Instapundit (with literally tens of thousands of visitors per day) publish an average of 30 small 100-150 word posts per day according to “Secrets of the A-list Bloggers: Lots of Short Posts” .

2.) Submit  your RSS feed to My Yahoo! Once you submit your own RSS to My Yahoo it gets indexed by Yahoo.

3.) Submit to Google’s Reader. When you submit your own blog RSS to Google’s Reader the Google Blog Search will index your site.

4.) Add a relevant link directory to your blog and trade links with other blog owners! While it may take a little longer than just submitting to a search engine one time, this technique is probably the most beneficial way to drive traffic to your site. Use software such as Zeus to speed up the link trading process.

5.) Use ping sites like ping-o-matic. If you use wordpress I recommend using  maxblogpress-ping-optimizer plugin. Ping your site every time you add a new post.

6.) Submit your blog to traditional search engines such as AltaVista, and MSN.

7.) Submit your blog to traditional directories such as DMOZ. Directories (especially DMOZ) increase relevancy with Google. DMOZ is very selective, but you have nothing to lose by trying?

8.) Submit to as many RSS Directories and Search Engines as possible. This is an uncomplicated but repetitive process that can be achieved with software such as RSS SUBMIT.

9.) Comment on other blogs. Do not just leave short, lazy spam comments like “I agree.”  Leave considered replies that will leave readers curious as to  “who wrote this?”

10.) Use track backs. If there is a blog that you relate to or quote and it’s highly relevant to your topic, leave a track back. It increases your link popularity and might even score some interested readers from the linked site.

11.) Go offline. Use newspaper ads, public bulletin boards, business cards, even stickers to let as many people as possible know your blog exists.

12.) Ad a link to your blog in your e-mail signature block.

13.) Use Groups (Usenet). Search out a relevant group on Google groups, Yahoo groups, MSN groups or any of the thousands of other FREE group services and discover like minded people and converse with them. Make  a point of using your blog URL like it is your name.

14.) Use Forums. Forums are among the best places to go for advice. Visit forums and look for problems others have posted about and provide a solution. Make a point of leaving your blog name, but be tactful about it; some forums get irritated with those who selfishly drop a few links to their own site and leave.

15.) Tag your website. Tagging is a relatively new idea that’s erupted across the web. Sites like Del.icio.us, Technorati and many others have a social feature that allows you to place your article under keywords or “tags” that anyone interested in that tag can view.

While these are some of the most popular methods to drive traffic to your blog, don’t restrict yourself to tips and lists. Use your resourcefulness and you’ll summon up thousands of differing ways to drive traffic to your blog!
