Forget the e-books that charge you a fortune for advice that you can easily find elsewhere. Here are 6 completely FREE ways to turbo-charge your blog’s traffic and boost it’s presence in the blogosphere! And they all come with a money back guarantee!

1. Be a comment whore on the right blogs

Commenting on other blogs frequently (and with quality comments) is a well known way to increase your blog’s exposure. Unfortunately, many blogs use the “no follow” tag which means that when you drop a link to your site in the comments, it won’t be followed by Google and be considered a ‘real’ link. Lucky for you, Court has a large list of blogs that don’t use the “no follow” tag which are ready and waiting to give you some link love!

2. Give your blog a makeover

Blogger provides bloggers with a pathetic 39 uninspiring templates for your blog. You can either do what I’ve done and spend 168.3 work hours customizing it, or you can head over to Free Blogger Skins and get a beautiful new template for your Blogger blog. Original templates are not just for Wordpress users!

3. Use the most underused promotional tool

Blog Carnivals are one of the best ways to promote your turbo-charged super awesome content! Basically, the site lets you submit your posts to other blog’s link lists - view my “Blogging for Cash” carnivals for an example.I receive about 25 requests for link exchanges every day and only accept a chosen few - but send me a link to some

awesome content and you’re 100% guaranteed to be featured in my Blog Carnival!The site lets you submit your posts to 1000’s of other Blog Carnivals and is one of the best ways to promote your content and get quality linkbacks!

4. Get a favicon

What’s a favicon?? Favicons are those little graphics that are seen in the address field of most browsers. They are a fabulous way to “brand” your blog, give it more recognition and give it a small touch of professionalism.

Getting a favicon is a crucial move if you’re on a Blogger blog as it gives your site it’s own brand rather than giving Blogger more free advertising. Check out this easy tutorial for how to add a favicon to your Blogger blog.

5. Apply offline rules

Just because you’re a blogger doesn’t mean that the rules and ethics of the offline world don’t apply. In business, there’s nothing wrong with asking people to try your product and it’s the same in the blogosphere. But it’s how you do it that will see your blog either go turbo or crash!When asking people to visit your blog, instead of “Nice site. Check out mine at www……” try to be a little friendlier and ’sell’ your content instead of your blog. Try:

“Hi. I really like your post on why AGLOCO will fail. Do think the viewbar will be released this millenium? I’ve written a similar post that you may find interesting. It’s about some of the biggest scams that are circulating around the internet today. I’d be really honored if you came and commented with what you think about it. Keep up the great blogging!”

Is it kissing ass? Not if you’re honest about it. Is it hard work? Definitely. Does it work a million times better than just saying “Check out my site”? You bet!
