Corey Rudl gets over 1.8 million visitors to his web sites monthly, did more than 7.6 million dollars in online sales last year (yes, that is $7,600,000), and personally makes hundreds of thousands of dollars from his online businesses... all from his one small office. | 16 Ways to Drive Traffic to Your BlogWritten by Denise Wakeman and Patsi KrakoffContinued from page 1 11. Print your blog URL on your business cards, brochures and flyers. 12. Make sure you have an RSS feed URL that people can subscribe to. The acronym RSS means Rich Site Summary, or some may consider its meaning as Really Simple Syndication. It is a document type that lists updates of websites or blogs available for syndication. These RSS documents (also known as 'feeds') may be read using aggregators (news readers). RSS feeds may show headlines only or both headlines and summaries. To learn how news aggregators/RSS readers work, see this site: http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-readers.htm 13. Post often to keep attracting your subscribers to come back and refer you to others in their networks; include links to other blogs, articles and websites in your posts 14. Use Trackback links when you quote or refer to other blog posts. What is TrackBack? Essentially what this does is send a message from one server to another server letting it know you have posted a reference to their post. The beauty is that a link to your blog is now included on their site. 15. Write articles to post around web in article directories. Include a link to your blog in author info box (See example in our signature below). 16. Make a commitment to blog everyday. 10 minutes a day can help increase your traffic as new content attracts search engine spiders. Put it on your calendar as a task every day at same time. Tip: Use a hit counter to track your visitor stats: how many unique visitors, how many page views, average length of visit.
