If you want comments on your blog, be sure to comment on others. Find a few blogs relevant to your market, subscribe to their updates, and then comment on their articles.
Browse the web – especially the social web – for discussions that interest or affect you. Everything you post doesn’t have to contain a link back to you, but talking with others will raise your brand’s profile.
Guest post on other blogs for more traffic. Ramit Sethi credits this approach to boosting his readership 150,000 in 1 week. Locate other blogs where your target audience spends time, and pitch the blog editor with an article you wrote.
No blog is an island. Leave your little world, and participate in online discussions if you want to increase interest in what you write.
