Generating Blog Traffic With Less Effort

1. Exchange guest-posts: write a guest post for another blogger, and in return, they write a guest post for you.

2. Promote your site during daily tasks:
* Add your blog link at the end of your e-mail
* If you are active on a forum, add your blog's URL to your forum signature
* Put a link of your blog in your social networking site

3. Practice in-post networking: Finish a few of your posts with a question. Opinion based topics are more likely to get more uptake, especially if you have bloggers who have strong thoughts about what you have written.

4. Release a "Best of E-Book": Freebies always add excitement. So the more freebies you have, the more traffic. An eBook of your ten best posts is a good way to introduce your blog to new readers.

5. Build a Mailing List: E-mailing others to ask them a favor is time-consuming yet rewarding. It could be either asking them to link you, vote for articles or even answer a question.
