How to get traffic for your blog
Be topical… write posts that need to be read right now.
Learn enough to become the expert in your field.
Break news.
Be timeless… write posts that will be readable in a year.
Be among the first with a great blog on your topic, then encourage others to blog on the same topic.
Share your expertise generously so people recognize it and depend on you.
Announce news.
Write short, pithy posts.
Encourage your readers to help you manipulate the technorati top blog list.
Don’t write about your cat, your boyfriend or your kids.
Write long, definitive posts.

Thanks for the spelling catch. I agree 100% I don’t like taking shots – especially for the sole purpose of generating traffic, but lets admit that it works.

Something interesting to note is that Jake’s shot on Shoemoney may be backfiring on him in the long-tail. Google search his name and you will see what I mean.

I never read Conn’s post because when I went there weeks ago it was already replaced with an apology or something to that effect
I hear you about shooting at stars, but maybe you could be only a star commentator, because shooting just for shooting, ok will make you traffic, but more often than not if you have a blog about internet marketing or something related to making money online, chances are the traffic you got won’t translate into ad click or more money. Maybe you can earn a few more subscribers if your content is good yes.

I’d rather write things ON the most well known bloggers than shooting at them just for recognition, except of course if you have valid points to make.

Your link “Conn because a super-moderator ” should be BECAME.
