SEO is a big deal... unfortunately, Im probably the least knowledgeable yakezie member when it comes to this topic, and my search engine results suffer for it.  As I build my content Im doing much better than I did initially, but it's a HUGE thing I have tried to work on since I began my site and not sure if Ive gotten where I need to with it.

Quality content + promotion is key IMO.

If a blogger that I don't know comments on my site, I ALWAYS check out their site, follow them on twitter, facebook, and RSS. I've noticed others doing the same when I comment on a new blog.

Find people who would be interesting to your audience and interview them. Then ask them to promote to their friends.

You will free promotion and maybe even new readers that stick.

 

When I first started most of my uniques were coming straight to the entrepreneur interview that week.

Giveaways rock if you do them write and guest posting also helps. You can also search out for some staff gigs which will help too.

If people read another blog regularly, see your post, and like it, they're likely to visit your site and see what else you've got.

I second this. It will attract people to your site, but you have to make sure you back it up with great articles so that they keep coming back.

Obviously, quality content will keep people returning but what are some proven ways to bring on new visitors?

Between Twitter, Facebook, commenting on other blogs, participating in these forums: do you guys have more success with one versus another?

Any feedback is much appreciated...

 

Thanks!
