This is a simple guideline for beginners who wished to improve their blog traffic/hits.

It works for me when I apply the same technique onto my blog which gains a high ranking in Google Search result.

1) Tell your friends about your blog

Like in my country Malaysia, forums like forum.lowyat.net are well known to many Malaysians. There’s a gigantic forum called forums.digitalpoint.com which is a nice place to share out your blogs.
