Note: Comments on this post are now closed. This post had 135 comments and 25 Trackbacks (Trackbacks are still open). This is much better than the first one of these I did last year. If you check out some of the comments you’ll see people really benefited. But at this point, it’s time to close the comments because the momentum of everyone participating has slowed down considerably. In other words, new comments won’t get the attention they deserve, anymore. Time to close this one and wait for the next! Thank you, everyone who participated in this rockin’ blog traffic event!’
When your blog is new, the one thing you want more than anything else is traffic.
One of the most successful posts ever on Remarkablogger was back on December 12 of last year, when I wrote Just Started a Blog? Submit Your Blog Here for a Boost!
That post had 92 comments and 14 trackbacks. In fact, it’s one of the few posts I had to close the comments on because people kept submitting their blogs long after it had ended.
It got some launch love action for new bloggers everywhere. Bloggers got a traffic and subscription boost by participating in a “golden rule” type of project. This was the predecessor to my blog pack idea. Unlike blog packs, however, this exercise isn’t based on cultivating real relationships with people (although that could certainly happen!). This is just pure, concentrated, viral blog traffic growth!
I’m calling this the Remarkablogger Blog Traffic JumpStart 2.
Increase Your Blog Traffic
If you just started a blog and want a little increase in blog traffic, here’s what you do:
- Leave a comment at the bottom of this post with your blog’s URL in the website field and describe your blog in a short paragraph.
- Subscribe to my RSS feed (it’s all I ask in return for helping you boost your traffic).
- Make sure you also subscribe to the comments on this post so that you get alerted on every new comment.
- Every time a new comment is added, go and visit that blog! This is simply the golden rule at work: do for others as you would have them do for you. You want traffic? Give traffic.
- But here’s where it really gets good: Subscribe to the other blogs’ RSS feeds.
- Stumble a post or two from the other blogs.
- Write a post on your own blog, link to this post so others can participate and write about the new blogs you have found. Link to them.
That’s it!
You Must Participate for this to Succeed
If you just submit your link and that’s it, well, nothing special is gonna happen for you. You see, this is all about instant Karma.
The more you give, the more you get.
Spend time visiting the other blogs, commenting and subscribing to the feeds of blogs you like (you’re bound to find a bunch of them).
You will also get some traffic from my readers who have already been blogging for a while. I’d like to encourage my regular readers to spread the link to this post around: this is one of those the-more-the-merrier kinds of things. So please link, stumble, and bookmark this post at Delicious.
I’m not making any promises about huge traffic, but if last time was any example, prepare to be pleased with the results! 
Some Rules
Yeah, we got rules.
The following will be deleted or marked as spam:
- Automated scraper blogs or splogs
- Adult content blogs
- Content about illegal activities
- Hate speech
- Anything that seems suspicious to me–I reserve the right to make that decision
Ready? Post your new blog URL in the comments!
Just a blog about me and things that amuse me in life! It’s fun, pass the word along….
a blog about different breeds of dogs and training them.
Hey Michael, I wanted to thank you again for this post. I got a lot of traffic to my blog and learned about some really awesome new blogs that were still “below the radar”.
@Janet – That’s great to hear! Thanks for letting me know how well this worked for you.

hello michael,
first i would like to thank you for helping all of us new bloggers.
Now, here is something about my blog:
This blog is all about downloading stuff. I have provided the best softwares, music, movies, wwe shows, games and everything that you wish to download.
My brand new blog will have news, views and reviews on baby cloth diapers (nappies). I am a professional freelance copywriter, and I intend slowly to build this blog up to offer top quality, readable, succinct content relating to the massive trend towards modern cloth diapers. Last post: how much you’ll save!
Great Idea!! Thanks for all the information you provide!
My blog is about going green and finding simple ways to go about doing it. I write about funny and strange things happening in my world and the world around us. If you are an animal lover, you will enjoy this blog as well. Thanks!
Thanks for this awesome opportunity, Michael – I’ll do my best to vist and share the linklove!
Anyways, my blog is all about my (mis)adventures on a concrete strip on suburbia in Valencia, Spain. It’s been two years since I moved here, from the rural landscapes of the Midwestern US.
Thanks again!
Thank you for the opportunity Mike.
My blog is about GOLF – OK I can see you there with your eyes glazing over
But this is not your typical golf blog.
It’s about great golf green fee deals, great courses, the views, the scenery, the people you meet and oh! I have an opinion on most golf issues. It’s about my game too gotta get it off my chest somewhere.
Not all golfers are white, middle aged with bad dress sense you know. Well alright I am. But I’m not your typical white, middle class badly dressed golfer!!
Pay me a visit and see and if you’re ever in the UK look me up we’ll have a game.
All the best. Mark
