Writing a blog is a great way to make some money through AdSense and it's a great way to build your list too. You can also sell your own products and sell affiliate products from your blog. However, for any of these things to actually work, you first need to get traffic to your blog. Three great ways to drive traffic to your blog are to write articles, digg your blog, and post on forums.

The best place to submit articles is ezinearticles.com. This site is also the strictest so make sure you follow all their rules. It will take a few days to get your article approved but once you get 10
or more articles live on the site you'll become a platinum member
and then your articles should get accepted in about a day or so.
What you want to do is write great articles that are related
to your blog and then put a link to your blog in the signature
box below the article.

The next way to get more readers to your blog is to digg it. This means that you submit each blog you write to digg.com. This is a very easy process. It takes you about 30 seconds to sign-up. Then you complete the sign-up process by checking your email and clicking the link that digg sends you. Then all you need to do is click on Submit New at the top of the page.

Then plug in the url to the individual blog post and then you're all set. The third way to drive more traffic to your blog is by participating in forums that are related to your blog. Now, there are a couple different ways to promote your blog on these forums. The first way is to put a link to your blog in your signature. That way the link to your blog appears every single time you make a post.

The third way to use forums to your blog is to read the posts and find an interesting topic or question. Then go back and write a post about that topic, then return to the forum and post a reply that you covered this exact topic on your blog. Then refer them to the link in your sig. or post the direct link in the reply. There are many great ways to get traffic to your blog, but these three are some of the best ways you can drive targeted traffic to it.
