These are all separate posts in and of themselves. The basic keys to increasing traffic are 1.) write information of value to your current and potential customers 2.) get your blog noticed. Submit it to search engine directories and optimizing towards useful longtail keywords, and telling people about it. Having your blog's URL on your branding materials can help a lot. Send a newsletter with articles. Encourage people to sign up for your RSS feed. Be sure you are tagging articles appropriately so that your posts can be found. If you are offering valuable information and not just using your blog to pitch products left and right, you are giving them a service and should have no qualms promoting it.

I am getting traffic and providing links back to my Volusion store on each post. However, I would love it if you would talk more about exactly WHAT we should be doing to increase traffic to our blogs, HOW we should provide the links back to our e-commerce sites, and other issues designed to increase traffic using our blogs. Thanks again for the great post. Phil Ellis www.divesports.com I have been posting to my WordPress blog now for about 4 months.
