Blogs are a widely used strategy to advertising your products or services. They're easy to install, simple to manage and easy to update. And search engines love them too. But what is a blog without traffic? Precisely. Listed here are 5 easy strategies to boost traffic into your blog and begin seeing those massive sales.

1. Build a list of blog services to ping. There are a lot of blog services you can ping. This means that you notify this service, that you've updated your blog. These services then list your new posts and you get the traffic from them. I've made a list of 50+ blog services you can ping on my site. These lists are also available if you search Google or any other search engine for it. That should be enough to give an initial boost to your traffic.

2. Include buttons to popular news readers. What does this mean? Well you'll find sites like Yahoo or Google, etc., which have a members area where you may select web sites with RSS feeds to fetch the newest updates from different blogs. That way you may have the latest updates from let's say fifty blogs listed on one page. I've a list of these popular pages on my web site as well as the buttons which link to them. Users may then easily add my blog to their news reader members' area.

3. Update your content regularly. Search engines and blog services love regular updates. It's very likely that you'll get targeted traffic from search engines should you post regularly. This means you must create a new post into your blog a minimum of once a day. But be mindful. Too many updates every day may damage your search engines position and hits. What's excessive? 10 or maybe more.

4. Post in message boards. Post in discussion boards, but don't spam them. Post something fresh and interesting and put a hyperlink to your blog in your signature. Don't just post in any forum. For example if you're selling CDs, post in discussion boards that are about music and CDs. Do not post in car discussion boards if you are selling furniture. By posting in forums you will get one-way links which are great for search engine position in search engines like Google or msn or yahoo.

5. Submit to blog search engines. You will find masses of search engines available, that list only blogs. Just Google for "blog search engines" and you must discover at least twenty of them. These blog search engines can help you with targeted traffic. Be sure you write a great title and a great outline into your blog, so that individuals will simply see it and click on your link.

Follow these 5 steps and you'll start seeing lots of traffic into your blog. And then those long awaited sales will begin coming in. And don't forget to update your blog with fresh unused content that you write yourself.
