Understand the differences between link building for search traffic (my preference) versus for social traffic

Submit posts to financially oriented carnivals that rotate hosting across various websites; Keep doing this because the effects are small but keep accumulating

Cooperate with other finance bloggers for multi-way article guest posting with links; expect to contribute decent content to obtain cooperation

Understand that one or a few links from a higher quality site are far more valuable that many links from a lower quality site

Understand the value of keywords and anchor text links, while fostering a mix of hyperlink anchor text (keyword phrases, non-keyword text phrases, URL text)

Avoid schemes that might arouse search engines against your site (e.g. automated article marketing, paid linking, etc.); Get on the bad side of a search engine and all previous work can go down the drain

Expect to be in it for the long-haul, because you like doing this. If quick money is a primary objective, there are many easier ways to make money on a per hour basis.

Some good tips here. Only one I might add is aside from participating in the carnivals, actually host them on your site to get some new eyeballs to your page.

Do comment a lot on other blogs, some have commentluv so your own posts get promoted. You can also do a weekly roundup linking to blogs you liked, people are likely to return the favor.

Promote /Network 80% of the time and write 20% of the time. By networking / promoting I mean promoting your content and communicating with blogger as much as you can.

I'll second what everyone else has said already. Personally, my traffic and inbound links really started to grow the more I started interacting with bloggers both here and on social media. Interact & share other peoples posts on twitter, include them in roundups on your site and more often than not people will be more than willing to return the favor.

WEcome. Be patient, like anything else of value, consistently follow the above recommendations and over time, your site will grow. Also, be active on social media, it helps with brand awareness.

Submit your best articles each week to carnivals..
Sign up to host some carnivals yourself..
Start commenting articles on blogs of other Yakezie members and challengers
Post round-ups on your own site each week of your favorite articles that were posted by other bloggers

(full disclosure, we rarely do the 4th one any more, but it should be an essential step in building a new site up)..

Hi all,

I've just started a Finance blog and was told that you guys over here at Yakezie are a great bunch of bloggers to help me out in getting a few links to my site.

Does anybody have any advice on how best to go about getting some more visitors to my site?

Thanks in advance,
