STUMBLE THROUGH VARIOUS PAGES USING STUMBLE UPON

Stumble Upon enables you to visit random website according to your tastes and hence you have a great chance of discovering really good web content that can be both knowledgeable as well as worth inspiration for posting on your website.
Not just that, SU also allows you to interact with people of your tastes and share web pages and web content of your liking with them and vice versa. Hence there is a great opportunity that you send any article of your choice to your subscriber which may in turn be sent to his subscriber and further stimulating a chain of visits, both direct and indirect to your blog arousing a possibility of greater reach depending on the quality of content and taste of user.

PROMOTE YOUR BLOG ON VARIOUS FORUMS

Forums are basically places, rather communities, where you interact with people and build up networks by helping out people with their problems and conversing with them on any general point that is being talked about.
By joining discussions you can develop serious fan-falling that can help you in improving your web presence which in turn will help you to drive traffic to your website (and who knows you find quite some subscribers there as well).

SEARCH FOR GOOD CONTENT TO BLOG ABOUT

Well, if you're a blogger then something that is of utmost importance is the content quality of your blog. Even if you have a good enough social presence to drive traffic to your blog, until and unless you have good content hosted on it, none of the visitors is going to turn up the second time which means depreciating traffic. So, good traffic is directly proportional to good content, which requires enough exploration of the topic to be posted upon. The best way to research is to Google out the stuff. I'm sure you'll land upon something worthwhile.

GAIN WEB PRESENCE VIA SOCIAL NETWORKING

The best way out to drive in traffic is via social networking ,i.e., the bigger your social network, the greater the chance of your post being recognized. As Justin Kownacki says on his blog- "When it comes to audience, size does matter". Be however good the content of your blog, you'll never get the expected traffic to your blog until you have enough reach to the multitude to communicate and spread your word.
Social networking is the best and the easiest way to interact with people on the web. Be it your friends or someone anonymous, you have a chance to communicate your thoughts and ideas with that person via social networking. May be that is the reason why social networking websites such as Twitter and Facebook are constantly gaining popularity in the current web scenario.

READ AND COMMENT ON OTHER BLOGS

If you think that just by writing articles your job as a blogger is over, then I'm sorry you must rethink about your responsibility as a blogger. To be more precise, you have to groom your web presence and establish a repute of a good publisher. The best way to do this is through commenting on others' blogs. The better the comment and the better the reach of the blog, the greater is your chance of sharing the limelight.
Try to make sure that the comment you make is somewhere among the top 20-30 comments on the posts as those are the ones that grab the maximum attention of the visitors as they skim through the comments.
