It is basically what allows your blog to notify other blogs that they have been mentioned elsewhere on the internet. Track backs most commonly appear as blog comments, creating another link back to your blog in other blogs on the internet. Not only will this create new links to your blog from elsewhere on the internet, but it will also attract those bloggers that you have mentioned to come and check your blog out as well.

6 – Encourage people to comment in your own blog.

One of the most powerful ways that you can convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show them that other loyal readers are already following your blog as well as participating in it. If new readers see that other people are commenting in your blog, then they will infer from it that your content is worthwhile. Make sure to respond to comments that are placed in your blog as well to show your readers that you are willing to keep the conversation alive.

7 – Submit your latest pillar article to another blog that is summarizing a collection of articles from numerous sources that fit in to the same subject.

The idea here is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week in a specific place. Most “blog carnivals” as these are often called will link back to each of the participants, creating new links for your blog and giving you an increased chance of exposure online.

8 – Submit your blog to sites like http://www.blogtopsites.com and other similar sites.

This may not necessarily bring about a flood of brand new readers, but it is quick and easy to do so it is well worth the effort no matter what comes of it. Find the appropriate category that your blog fits into and submit it. You should attract between one and ten brand new readers every day, and this can significantly build up over a period of time.

9 – Another excellent way to benefit is through your resource box, which is essentially like a signature file for the content that you write.

You can post articles and blog entries online and create a link back to your blog in the process. Then, any time one of your content pieces is published, your resource box will create new incoming links to your blog, and will attract new traffic as well. If you can get newsletters to publish your content, you will benefit even more.

10 – Write more pillar articles as time goes by.

Everything above will help you to attract new blog readers, but one of the most important techniques is to put strong pillar articles in place. Without your pillar articles, you may be able to bring new readers in but you will have difficulty keeping them. Your solidly written pillar articles will help you create not only a database of useful content, but also a great amount of loyal readers as well.
