Suggestions to increase traffic and followers to a blog.

This has probably been talked to death by the Etsy blog team, but I could not find a thread in the forums search, so I am hoping you will chime in and everyone will benifit from the comments.

Thanks!

I'm sure there are a million more ways, but here are some of the things that have helped my blog grow from 0-1,500 daily viewers in four months.

Content. Consistent and super high quality!
Get active on larger blogs. I have a few that I love and are similar to mine. I stop by frequently, leaving relevant comments and try to get involved (I'm sure to link back to my blog every now and then but not in a tacky or pushy way.)
Also, I use key words in my titles and tags (even dropping in the blog name every now and then for Google's sake). ;) Google and other search engines use those to find relevant sites.

Hope these ideas help!
Google Alt Summit and read some of the articles written by people that were there. Amazing ideas!!

Good luck!

Great tips. I think being regular is key. I would like to blog at least once every week if not more often, but mostly I really have nothing to blog about! :-(. I've started creating a blog inspiration list now (yesterday) so I have ideas even when I'm out.

Thank you so much for your valuable tips. I just started my blog this week and it is slowly but surely coming along.
