NEXT YOU WANT TO OPTIMIZE THE CONTENT OF YOUR BLOG.

The audience you want to attract would be your target market and also the search engines.

There are small tweaks which are unnoticeable to your visitors but very visible to the search engines.

Always put your main keyword in the title of the post, preferably at the beginning of the title rather than in the middle or the end.

You can check for the "difficulty" of your keywords for scoring high in the search engines by using the Keyword Difficulty Tool at SEOMoz.org.

Tag at least one thing in your post for Technorati.

Your content should be good, useful, controversial, valuable, unique, thought-provoking, poetic, sarcastic and more. To find out what is working in your niche site already, Google your top keyword and read about what the top 10 sites are writing about or doing with their content.

Authorize other "authors" to post content with you. Do a partnership with another blogger in your niche and agree to write original content for each other's blog on a regular basis. This increases the fresh content, creates more posts, more keywords for the search engines and increases the number of strong backlines to your site.

Make it a stipulation that each author must link to your site from ALL their sites and help you promote.

Following all these suggestions will absolutely increase your traffic to your site.
