So what can be done to be put on the fast track, get your blog found and start getting some real traffic? Well, there are the safe white hat solutions and then there are the black hat methods. I typically stay in the white to gray areas, but the ultimate decision is up to you and your own moral code and ethics. Lets get to the meat of the matter and list some sure fire solutions.

First off you want to save as much time as you can. We can do this by multiplying our efforts. There is nothing like working once and getting multiple positive results. So lets start with a post.

This post now will serve multiple purposes:

Put it on your blog
Submit your article (post) to article directories
Work your post into a video or Power Point video

Turn the post into a pod cast
Re- work your post into a press release
Then mark everyone of these actions with social bookmarking

Here are some of the little things that you need to pay attention to:

Use keywords or keyword phrases that you are looking to rank for in your titles
When linking back to your blog use your keyword or phrase in the anchor text not just the URL of your blog
Identify and use like or similar words that relate to your keywords in your text (LSI)
Brand your videos with your URL or page link that you would like people to visit
Tag your post or article whenever possible with your keyword or phrase
Do not try to sell something in the post that you distribute. Give something of value
Get familiar with RSS and how to use this to improve your traffic
Be sure to get backlinks naturally over time and not all at once
Avoid posting and bookmarking at the same time every day or on the same day consistently
