    Great info...I have done most of these things...I think I am turning about a week or so...but all is good...but how can really say that you build more traffic to your site?

    Hi Ryan,

    It's one thing to do "most" of these things, it's another to actually "do" them. Are you using a stand-alone site or a wordpress hosted site? Wordpress offers a host of plugins that may make it easier for you to get indexed.

    Remember, search engines find your site based on links.

    I would say the best and most honest way that I have been able to build traffic is by creating quality content and by joining conversations on similar topics. I also submit my posts to sites such as digg and reddit.

    I spend probably 1-2 hours a day just reading marketing blogs and making comments. Not just any comments, insightful comments. I find thought leaders in the industry and then go after them. I recently posted a comment on an execs blog from Levorno, I'm one of the top posters on the Duct Tape Marketing blog, etc.

    I also attached my blog url to all of my e-mail signatures.

    Remember though, the key is to have great content, you want repeat visitors. If they come to your site once and then never return, then your traffic is meaningless.

    JACOB...I AM USING BLOGGER,

    is that that wrong direction to head in. I have always thought that blogger is a part of google then google would index their own blog faster...wrong or right?

    ah yeah...and I do submit my blog to digg, on occasion delicious, stumble upon...I promote it on my myspace blog as well.

    That is a myth and I have not seen any evidence to support that. I actually just checked your site, you are already indexed in google, so you have nothing to worry about.
