The newer way to get traffic to your blog is through social bookmarketing. To use social book marketing you need to create accounts so you can submit your blog and tag it.

The reason that you use tags is so that you will be able to find it later but you are not the only one that can find it. Putting the proper tags is very important because it allows people that are interested in what your blog is about to find it.

People can then grab your feed and use it on their site or pass it to their friends that would be interested in it. This provides you with a ton of high quality one way links back to your blog that can rank you high within the search engines and send you a high amount of organic traffic.

The key to really getting this to work is that you have to be social. If you sign up to social bookmarking sites and only submit feeds about your blog with out ever looking at and using other peoples feeds and sites you will end up getting kicked off of the bookmarking site.
