In this world-wide web, without promoting your blog or site, it's almost impossible. It's huge and everything changes as if a light speed! But, if you promote your site effectively, you may be above of others that who just depend solely on search engine optimization (SEO).

Words of Mouth

Social networks

I had discussed plainly on social network lastly. If you use them wisely, and obviously they would drive thousand of traffic to your blog. Once you had a certain level of reputation, then the number of your follower or fans will be an endless digit! For example, in Facebook, creating a fans page is almost inevitable. Once you had a page for your website or blog, your fans/followers will be easily informed with your updates. And apparently, probably 9 out of 10 would make a visit if your title/contents are seemingly interesting.

Guest blogging

This is an additional choice, but I do think it's indeed a great way to present your blog to make backlinks. However, guest blog on the site which has the same niche with you, then you will likely get quality backlinks. You may see what are quality backlinks.

Leave comments

Expose yourself more on others’ sites, this might obtain some readers' attention and get some backlinks. But, don't forget, before you leave comment, fill-in your website URL in the comment form to show your site’s link.

Offer helps

Everyone needs help when they meet some problems and difficult situations. What do we still need in a worse situation which always drive us crazy?HELP! Yes, we need some pros or whoever able to solve our problems! If you solve their problems and get them out of their bad times, they would kneel down and thank you like God. Also, don't forget promote your blogsite indirectly. It should be like that "Well, for more information, you may vist www.blablabla.com" Then, he will possibly become your client or reader!

Words of mouth

What still be better than using this traditional way to transmit information? By words of mouth, your single information may be delivered even to thousands people from one to another. Traditional ways are sometimes useful.
