I can share with you guys the article that I've read here. The article is "How To Drive Traffic to Your Blog - The Advice of a 12 Year Old".

The first thing that we need to know is to learn the basics, which we have to understand that, the internet is a very big place. There are several billion of webpages and often with very little time available to the end-user, they’ll use several techniques to find what they’re looking for.

According to David, the best thing to start a webpage or blog is to build a quality content for the visitors to see and then we can progress to the formula of "THE THREE Cs". By doing this, we can simply attract the genuine interested people to actively play his or her part in giving a quality feedback on the ways to improve, design and usability to us in developing our webpage.

Now, let us see what is the "THE THREE Cs" formula.

The first C is "COMMUNITY"

Whether you start up your own community, or join others, via means of MyBlogLog, MySpace, LinkedIn, Xing and others, this is a guaranteed and proven way to get visitors, to get hits, impressions, and often quality traffic, because you know that these people haven’t just clicked on a random link or search engine listing, but have seen you or your website’s profile, and followed it through to your homepage/landing page. The best ways to get the profiles themselves noticed?

The second C is "COMMUNICATION"

I don’t mean ’spam’ by this either. Get involved in genuine discussions, with other people of similar interests, start up a civilized, profitable, knowledgeable discussion, then when you’re finished, ask if they’d take a look at your blog or website. You’d be surprised how many loyal readers have come to my own blog in this way. Simply leave comments in communities, on social networks, on other blogs, etc. Still not quite your way of dealing with people?

The third C is "CONSIDERING"

All the time, you have to consider the reader. Who are you writing for? The reader. Who will be navigating your blog? The reader. Who should you devote your time, energy and attention to? The reader. Consideration is important, and you can show this in many ways. Either by having a clutter-free, easy-to-follow design, or you could alternatively try getting the readers involved, by asking questions in blog posts, or website statements, and opening up comments. If people comment, strike up a conversation with them, and keep them coming back. Answer their queries and requests with solid, reliable, dependable answers, and take note of the feedback they leave by using it, and putting it into action. If someone states that your text is hard to read, change the colour to stop it clashing so much with the background, or simply make it slightly larger.
There are lots of ways you can show consideration to your audience, and it shows just how loyal you are to your readers through this. If someone spots an inaccuracy in a blog post and tells you, don’t be lazy. Go change it! They’ll keep coming back, they’ll tell their friends, and in turn this C will do word-of-mouth marketing wonders.

Hopefuly these tips and advice can be really useful to us in driving thousands of traffic to oue web or blog and generate the tons of online money.
