How to boost a new blogs traffic

Yaro has a good post on how to announce a blog for brand new bloggers. His advices are solid and I recommend you to read it if you are new to blogging.

The main tips he gives are

• Write at least five pillar articles, the more you have the better
• Make sure your new visitors can easily find your pillar content by creating an articles page or linking to your top content on your blogs front page, like I have done at my Top Posts page
• If you aim to use your name for personal branding make sure the title of your blog includes your name
• Make sure your contact information is available
• Focus on your content, don’t worry about the traffic
• Start commenting on similar blogs
• Start building relationships with other bloggers
• Link to other blogs with trackbacks
• Be prepared to work long and hard before big traffic comes.
