By far, blogs are one of the easiest website models to generate traffic to. With established blog based communities, you are able to maximize your outreach and expose your website to hungry crowds of targeted buyers.

Two of these communities are http://www.blogCatalog.com and http://www.MyBlogLog.com

With MyBlogLog, you can add a widget to your blog that will display your recent visitors and in exchange, every blog you visit will also feature your avatar with a link to your blog profile. It’s a great way to generate traffic to your website while exploring relevant blogs in your niche.

 Here are a few other techniques to driving consistent traffic to your new blogs:

1) Keep Your Content Fresh

If you want to retain visitors and encourage repeat visits, you need to ensure that your blogs are consistently updated with fresh, relevant content.  Try to avoid using PLR (Private Label Rights) material and instead, offer your visitors with original, high quality content that is focused on your overall blog theme. If you need to outsource your content, consider hiring an affordable writer from sites like www.Elance.com or www.Guru.com

2) Ping And Ping Some More
Each time you update your blog, make sure that you ping it to notify blog directories that your website has fresh content.  You can use services like www.Pingomatic.com to notify multiple services at once. You can also use plugins that will automatically ping your website each time you post new material.

3) Submit articles to blog carnivals and directories with a link back to your blogs main page.  Sites like www.blogCarnival.com allow you to post content in specific categories relevant to your niche.
