The best way to create traffic, free or Pay?
What is the best way to create traffic? I would not paying to advertise, as long as I know that I could make money still. Also, what is the best way to monetize your blog? Currently I am employing adsense but I have not made very much since my start.
Content is better than pay
Paying ads is just for temporary or short-term way of getting traffic as there are so much information out there that readers usually read the things they want to read. I believe, the best way is to put in more content in your blog, update it as often as you can and make it as interesting too.
Social Networking + Yahoo
I am fairly new to this, but I am beginning to understand the importance of social networking. Each site you join, friend you meet ect...is a potential hit on your website later. The more you have the more likely you are to get higher traffic to your blog. Also, I have found that answering someones questions on Yahoo Answers works good for traffic. (stay out of the politics and religion sections and you should be fine:)
