The Blog fight

It has been reported that over 70,000 blogs a day are going online. With all of that competition how do you get to the top? The answer is you fight! No not literally, not in a spamming sense either. Coming up with good content is hard. Unique content is even harder. Hopefully this post itself will bring in some viewers. I think that the best way to build your traffic is to do it organically, don’t use spam, or pop ups or banners. Just grow slow. If you get desperate buy some text links. Just use newsvine, digg, reddit, shoutwire and netscape to post interesting stories. Then use some article submission sites like ezine articles, isnare, and goarticles. You want to spread but not to fast. Make sure you have technorati, and that you ping. I use pingmore. To get crazy traffic just start a contest or a bet, I’ve seen a couple of successful bloggers do that. The fact is that if your gonna fight, go in swinging and pinging. Most importantly content is KING!
