7.Maintain a good and easily navigable blog Design:

I see some blogs daily which dont have a menu of different categories and some which dont have Home button atleast.I dont understand how can a visitor navigate from one page to other page easily in your blog.

Have a simple,clean and neat blog design.Don't mess up your blog design with many flashes and stuff.Visitors are on your blog to read the content on your blog and not to enjoy blog design.If you have a good blog design then its a good sign but dont mess it up with an intention to make it look very very beautiful.

• ATB Slider Widget.

8.Have a good Commenting System on your blog:

A good commenting system will tempt your visitors to post a comment.There by you can interact with your blog readers and increase blog traffic.
For this I would recommend Intense Debate and Disqus.
You can also Tweak your blogger commenting system to make it look attractive and easy to comment.

9.Place Easy Share Buttons To Get More Shares:

If you place easy share buttons then if a visitor liked your post and wants to share with his friends or community then it will become easy for him/her and you can get more shares.More shares means more traffic.

10.Get as Many Blog Followers as you can:

More the followers that means more the number of people connected with your blog.Try to get more Facebook Likes,Twitter Followers, Subscribers.So that you can stay connected with your old visitors who visited your blog previously.
