9. Take advantage of blog software features that help to promote your Blog. For example, if you're using Blogger, you can do this by turning on: "Email This Post", "Post Pages" "Site feed" and Blogger Navbar. These features will help attract new visitors to your blog.

10. Exchange Links with other Bloggers or blog owners. This is another effective strategy for generating targeted traffic to your blog for free. It involves contacting other blog owners for a possible link exchange partnership. All you have to do is locate blogs that are related to yours and contact webmaster to swap links.

11. Write articles or free reports for other webmasters to publish and put your blog url in byline. The ‘byline’ is short paragraph that goes at bottom of each article and describes who author is and what they do. If you write good content, your articles will be published by other webmasters and many readers who like your article will go on to visit your blog.

3. Put up an online picture.

If you really want a personal touch, put up a picture on your main page and link it to a brief profile with information about your background. In my experience, most of successful online entrepreneurs are people who have built up successful businesses or careers offline. If you have a particular degree, or certification or years of experience in any one area, let your site visitors know. It’s another way to make your website stand out and become a trusted online resource.

4. Create an opt-in email list Opt-in lists take time and work.

If you publish a regular newsletter and slowly build up your email list, it shows that you plan to be online for a very long time and that you are dedicated to your topic. In addition, you will build up a huge newsletter archive with tons of content that you can post online to build your page rank and get more site visitors.
