Establish Your Blog for Instant Traffic with Social Posting

Why Use A Blog for Traffic Generation?

Most people who own a blog will make some posts to it and then hope for traffic. This will rarely ever work. You’ll need to proactively promote your blog posts to get traffic. Each new post is an opportunity to get more new traffic, and in fact each post should be considered it’s very own unique traffic generator. That means each time you post it’s an opportunity for yet more traffic, the more posts you have the more traffic you’ll get-it’s that simple.

Once you know how to post a blog entry and then promote it on the top social posting and bookmarking sites like Digg.com,Reddit.com, and StumbleUpon.com, you can expect instant traffic. I’ve received thousands of visitors a day due to individual posts that became very popular. 

Even after abandoning a blog I’ll come back months later and still find it getting 100’s or 1,000’s of visitors a day just from some old posts.

So when writing each of your blog posts, do the following 4 things:

1. Choose a Proven Idea to Blog About
2. Write a Headline Using a Proven Formula for Emotionally Attraction
3. Write a High Quality Post With a Photo and Plenty of Links
4. Submit Your Blog Post to Social Networking Sites for Instant Traffic 
   

A solid blog will generate both traffic and incoming links from social bookmarking sites like Digg.com and from other bloggers.

Let’s take a look at each of these in detail…

Step 1: Choose From One of 4 Proven Ideas for Your Posts

1. Think of or find a very unique picture, a breaking news story, a controversial article, interesting or topical statistics, or someone else’s popular or interesting blog post. Then blog about it on your site.
2. Find out what people want to read about right now. Visiting social networking sites as well as Technorati andPopurls.com will give you a unique insight into the week’s hottest topics.
3. Search social bookmarking sites for things related to your site that have been popular in the past. Do a search for your topic and see what post titles got the highest ratings. Digg.com is a good site to try this on!
4. Dominate your niche by supplying the best and most interesting information before anyone else in your niche does. This will attract other bloggers to your post and they will want to link to you. If you dominate your niche links will flood into your blog, thus bringing in more traffic. 
   

I often use any one of these approaches and they can all be successful.

Step 2: With a Good Idea You Need to Write a Great Title
