Three simple steps that helped to double the site traffic in a month.
1. First, I made the most of Technorati tags. I tagged every key word in all my posts. Initially I did this by hand but then I discovered a WordPress plugin called SimpleTags that made the work a whole lot easier. I found that by tagging my post efficiently they were getting a lot more attention than their untagged counterparts, and as an added advantage I was getting focused, quality traffic to the site!
2. I leveraged my existing site. I have been running my business site for a few years and that was getting modest level of traffic that was significant to my blog - so why not try to make some of that to my new blog! I placed a few FeedBurner title animator blocks on some of my most popular pages and after a day or so I noticed a major increase in traffic for 5 minutes worth of work on my part.
3. Finally, I made efficient use of trackback links to popular sites. If I remark on a post on another site I would make sure that I set up the suitable trackback for it. The results from this are varied depending on the site and post that you are linking to but since I liked to remark and work together with the wider blogosphere anyway, it was free traffic!
