I'm Carla. I'm new to forum posting and hopefully will get the hang of this soon. I'm also a fairly new blogger and would love tips on how to drive more traffic to my website. This is a very long process because I'm not really sure where to start. I look forward to networking with you all. Have a great day

hello Carla, hope you are doing well with your blogging. A couple tips to get traffic to your blog

1. Make sure you use appropriate and relevant key words in your title and description of blog so when people do organic searches, it will come up
   
   Submit your blog to directories and put them in appropriate category
   
   Use Social Media Networks. You can use certain services like FriendFeed to tweet your posts to Twitter, Facebook, etc.
   
   Join Online Groups/Forums in your niche, network with other bloggers and use your blog url in your signature
   
   Comment on other blogs and get love in return. Change your comment system especially if you are using the default system for your blogging platform. I use CommentLuv, which is great and shows the title of the commenter's last post. Other good ones are IntenseDebate and Disqus.
   
   Most Important, how is the quality of your blog? No point in having traffic if they will just be one visit never to return again. Write quality posts, check for grammar, punctuation, format, pictures, font size, font type. Do not have a dark background with dark font. Make your blog readable. Is your navigation easy to find and use? Do you have ads on your blog? Make sure they don't take the focus off your posts. Too many widgets are unnecessary and will also distract your reader.
   
   Any other tips feel free to ask.
