Let’s recap the definition of Active Way : These are the methods that you need to apply in your blogs to get traffic. We discussed Social Networking, article marketing and Viral traffic. I suggested because if done right, they can bring you good amount of traffic in no time.

In fact I’d suggest you to promote your blogs on regular (daily if possible) basis. Anyways, here are some more methods of active promotion.

Blog Comments : You should always find other Bloggers in your niche and then comment on their blog. Remember this is not about spamming, if you do not have anything worthwhile to say, don’t comment. Make sure comment is related to their blogs.

Here are few tips for you:
1. Related comments : Always post on topics that are related to yours. It doesn’t make sense of promoting a sports car blog on diet blogs. You can always find other related topic to you, just don’t go too off topic.

2. Comment on Controversial topics: If you know of topic which can become a controversy then make sure to leave comments on that specific post. In niche you’ll always find some topics that’ll generate controversy. Topics like Specific guru’s, methods always have potential to generate controversy.

3. Find topics with High comments : Comment on Topics with high comment counts. There is a reason why this post has lot of comments, and the reason is very simple. Its interesting and getting traffic. You should put your comment with your blog url in this post.

Forum Posting: Another fast tip to get good traffic is about forums. You can always find targeted traffic in 24 hrs just by posting to right forums. Most of the Tips related to blog comments will apply to this method.

Still there are few things you should remember. Find out at least 5-7 discussion forums and post there.

1. Don’t get into flame wars: I repeat don’t get into flame wars with other forum members. Try to avoid any kind of online verbal fights. They serve no purpose for your goals.

2. Search For High commented Threads : Find topics that generated High count of views & comments. You’ll use these topics to answer and introduce yourself. There is another use for these which you’ll learn in 3rd tip

3. Create new topics: Yup, pick up topics from tip no 2 and use them to create new topics. If these topics got viewers ship in past, then there is good chance it’ll generate now.

5. Use Feed Burner: Feed burner provides a simple service which lets you post a simple code in your forum signature and it’ll show your recent blog posts. This way all you need to do is write blog posts and just keep conversation open in forums without blatantly promoting your blog in signature.

Yahoo Answers: Now all of today’s tip are almost on same idea. Interactivity with people online. Yahoo answers is another way to achieve this goal. If you go to answers.yahoo.com you’ll find thousands of people asking questions.

You can always chose your topics and search for open discussions. You try to answer these questions and try to get selected as Best Answer. If you get selected as best answer your answer will be highlighted along with question. This means more readership.

Here’s a crazy idea for you to get selected as best answer. If the question is not technical then try to answer something that user is expecting. You are just a voice to his opinion and then add your own view… They will surely get selected. Because they are not exactly looking for answers. They are looking for like minded people

If the question is technical, then provide answer in as simple way as possible.

Phew, Again, these methods will make sure you have a regular stream of visitors on your blog. It doesn’t take much time to implement them and overall in long term strategy they are pretty good.
