If you've got a blog, perfect, it's a great way to get started online. A blog can be your main website or it can be a nice complement to a website that you already have, either way, blogging technology has made it super easy to get a blog set up and the best part is blogging software is free.
But blogs, just as with any website, need lots of traffic. Yes, blogs get a lot of search engines recognition because they are structured so well, but you're still going to have to do your part to get as much traffic as you can to your blog so promotion is still important.
Here are a few steps for you to follow so that you can quickly begin to increase traffic to your blog …
These tips aren't complicated, in fact they are quite easy, so let's get started:
1. Design your blog so that it is focused on a single topic.
Most people searching for information on the internet are looking for specifics. The narrower your blog's topic the more likely you are to provide the information people are looking for.
2. Add content often and in a consistent manner.
Your goal should be to add a post either every day or every other day to your blog. This is important because it conditions the search engines to expect content from you. Because of this they will visit your blog more often and provide your site a higher ranking because you will be a good source of information, after all that is what will bring you more traffic and hopefully more sales.
3. Submit to blog directories.
Get your blog submitted to as many blog directories as possible. Blogcatalog is a good source for finding blog directories in your category.

4. Submit your blog to the RSS feed submission sites.
This step is important because RSS subscribers can bring you a ton of traffic. Submitting your blog to theses feed submission sites are also an excellent way to create one way links to your site which is how the search engines weave you into the world wide web which will ultimately bring you the most traffic.
Try submitting to these:
5. Post your articles or product reviews on Book marking Sites
I don't recommend doing this manually. Try using onlywire.com. They will submit your posts or articles to other book marking sites like backflip, del.icio.us, blinklist, furl, etc.
6. Comment on other blogs often
This is a great way to get exposure and links. I like to use Comment Kahuna, it’s a free tool and it will help you find blogs based on keywords that you enter. It will also find blogs that don't use the nofollow tag, which means that the search engines will follow your link.
Here’s a few high powered secrets for blogging your way to a six figure income.

I don’t think anyone of us can do without a blog, It:
1.provides fresh content - search engines just love that and highly relevant pages from which to link into the main pages of your website.
2.keeps you in touch with your topic, not just the SEO part of it.
3. It lets you trade contents not just links with other bloggers.
4.opens doors to real-people networking on the Internet, and good for link-building, blogrolls exchange and other forms of joint ventures.
