Who are you going to call?  A celebrity spokesperson?

No.  Probably you are going to go to the place where most of us go for advice.  Search Engines.  Search Engines are really the world’s opinion, aggregated and indexed by relevance.

So the number one most influential resource is Google.  People trust Google.

Are you number one in Google for the problem you solve?

If you are not at least on the first page of major search engines for things people search for that are related to your product or service, you really need to give us a call.

1. Search Engines – By writing your blog with search engine optimization in mind, you can get more visitors from organic search.
2. Commenting – Commenting on other blogs and including a link back to your blog via the comments  can generate nice traffic.  Don’t just leave a lame comment like “nice blog” or no one will check you out.
3. Interviews - Interview interesting people on your blog and they might link to it and send it to their friends, plus people searching on that person may end up reading about them on your blog.
4. Link Building for Your Blog – Use other resources and tactics to get your blog linked to from other websites.
5. PR – Good press in the right place will generate traffic to your blog.  Get mentioned in a big publication  and it can really send your traffic through the roof.

There are more than five ways to get traffic for your blog, but I will save some of those for another post.  For now, think about how to use these five things to get your blog found.
