Recently I’ve been seeing the usage of these social media networks like DIGG and YouTube for a new form of marketing your blogs/websites. Among some of the resources I turn to for advise on various topics this one being the internet, I stumbled on to http://www.harpzon.com which he recently did a quick article on bringing traffic to your sites through things like making Diggs that speak directly to the Digg community.

Now back when I started doing this whole internet marketing thing a year ago my whole goal was to be a whore on the net for all of my sites. I really saw some of my tactics as being a “spammer” but at the same time gaining tons of backlinks and really getting the name out there. More specifically I looked at “spamming” my site through comments on relevant blogs and making really solid comments on their sites. Now almost instantly after doing that on a TON of sites in the early stages of my site I was able to create some serious amounts of backlinks and people visiting my blog specifically for my content. I’m talking about 40-100 visits per comment I left. Now this may not seem like a lot but when you drop your sites url on 40+ sites it adds up fast. The same goes for DIGG, I took the time to make solid content for the Digg machine to make use of and over the long haul it has really added up to a lot of visitors.

The Rundown:

• *Making relevant and helpful comments on other peoples blogs is easy FREE traffic. You get all your click backs through people clicking on your name (your name generally has your url in it, ryan yockey).
• *Make Digg articles with helpful and relevant content, your title is key here. Bad title ZERO clicks, good title = MONEY in the bank.

So there you have it, a couple solid tips on free traffic to your blog.
