Wow, great post. I run a blog and one of the things I neglected for a long while was the networking with other similar sites. Once I started doing that I really did start to receive a lot more traffic, and also found it a lot easier to come up with new content for my own blog. So yep, I have to agree with you on this one!

It is interesting to see, that you are touching on exactly the same methods I have used to build my own blog. Therefore I can 100 % confirm that all these methods are great to grow your network and therefore also your blog.

And the best part is, they are all free.

Excellent points! You’ve done a great job identifying the most common motivational drives of bloggers (hmm, people) at the start with the “Why …” headline.

So most visitors were able to find “What’s in it for me?” part.

That way you were able to keep their attention long enough to go through the whole article and read “How …” to actually achieve their goals.

So this is what I learned from your post and being a blogger.

Tomaz Mencinger

Telecom,
Yes, relevant links are better then others.

TigerTom,
Agreed. Actually that was covered in a post from last week 5 Steps to Becoming a Better Blogger.

Coach Kip,
I don’t have experience driving traffic from Facebook or MySpace. I would imagine it’s difficult to directly drive a lot of traffic from those sources, but they can be great for networking, which can open up new opportunities and drive traffic in other ways.

Very good principles to blog by…and live by really. Nice to see you realize that quality content is key, like many others and myself you want to just pump out post/article..one after another. Focus on quality posts and quality relationships and everything else falls into place.

Thanks for the great information. Being a new blogger I am interested in how to grow a large social network organization around my blog. It just seems easy to do, and hard at the same time.

I see my blog gets a lot of traffic from StumbleUpon, but my second most is from reddit. I do get a lot from Digg and finally I get the rest from commenting on other blogs.

How do you feel about using Facebook and/or Myspace to generate traffic? I seem to be finally getting some from Facebook, it has taken a while but it is starting to trickle in.
