3 Promote your blog on public forums
Go and register to public forums related to your blog and add your creative comments to posts. Do not mention your blog in your post as most forums do not accept self promotions. But instead, add a link to your blog in your signature. Post as many comments as possible so people will see your link in your signature and click on it. If you write useful and creative comments that would actually spark some interest in other readers, then this will help your blog traffic but if you were to go in and just add things like “I agree” or “great post” or worst some comment that is going to cause huge conflicts, then this could be very bad for your reputation and your blog traffic!DO NOT SPAM OR YOU’LL GET YOURSELF BANED !
