How to increase traffic to your blog in less than a week

And you thought just writing good articles is enough to drive traffic. Unfortunately, just writing good articles and waiting for the traffic to come is a mistake most of us make. Traffic i all about connecting the the audience. And once they know that there are quality article on your site, they will come back for more. It's the communication that's important. Let me share with you three killer ways to drastically increase your traffic in less than three days.

1. Use Stumble Upon
   Stumble Upon is the best tool out there on the social media front that will help you drive traffic. HJoin Stumble Upon and start stumbling articles from day one. Make friends there, believe me it's easy. And once you start being an active participant, you can get as many friends as possible, and they will start promoting your posts. You can also send thumbs up requests to them. Ex:- This bus ticket booking site made awesome traffic through SU.
2. Be a power user on Digg
   It's not easy. But there are shortcuts to it. Befriend a power blogger and follow him whereever he goes on digg. Digg his stories and share them with yiour friends. You become his friend after some time and then you get to share his authority. And he will digg your stories. Request your stories to be digged and he would agree. Get the story to the front page and that's it.

Basically, making friends over the internet is the best thing to do while starting to build traffic to your blog. Make sure that you are an active participant and not a passive one. Digg and stumble others stories first before you request them to thumbs up yours. People don't encourage friends who just send them requests and not entertain or mind even digging their articles, so you should be careful about that. And enjoy your day, the traffic will just start snowballing in!
