Do you have a new website or blog? One of the first questions you may now be asking yourself is how do you get traffic to the site?<\/p>\n

Twitter is an excellent vehicle to use to build traffic and create buzz. There are all kinds of Twitter applications that help you to move your Tweets to other venues. I use TwitterFeed to post my blog on Twitter and to post my Tweets on my blog. It is an easy to install widget that goes into your blog template and it works.<\/p>\n

I recommend for new website and blog owners that they do a few things to help drive traffic to their new site, here is my short list:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use Twitter first, it is easy, fast and fun.<\/li>\n
  2. Get going with Twitter Feed.<\/li>\n
  3. Schedule Tweets on days you don’t do blog posts with Twuffer.<\/li>\n
  4. Actively and aggressively work to build your Twitter network.<\/li>\n
  5. Get going with Facebook and LinkedIn – these are the big social networking sites.<\/li>\n
  6. Consider setting up accounts Plaxo and Xing for social networking.<\/li>\n
  7. Do a press release. Yes it is pricey but will get links out there for your website or blog in a hurry.<\/li>\n
  8. Start posting on forums and other blogs – not commercials but real comments – make sure to link to your new site. You won’t get search engine organic capital this way, but you may get a bit of traffic.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Do you have something to add to my list? Click comments and share your tips for traffic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
