We already know many social networking sites such orkut, facebook,etc.. I recently joined one real time social networking site - Twitter. The best part of this site is that it is a real-time social networking which projects what you do to all the people around the world. It can even be attending the call of nature. Jokes apart, so how will this site improve the traffic to your blog???

Twitter is simply service that connects friends and families around the world and this site is basically built on one motto - "What Are You Doing?" This post basically tells how you can use this concept of "What you are doing" to improve traffic to your blog. You have a feature called TwitterFeed that will automatically update the new posts through the RSS feed of your blog. So, this will improve your site. You can also tweet what you are currently doing, say, updating your blog or changing a template, etc.. and you can leave a link of your blog while tweeting. This will improve the traffic to your blog.

Thus, basically you can tweet what ever you want, related to your blog ,with a link pointing to your site. You can also show off the amount of followers, just like the subscriber's count that will enhance and make other bloggers feel your site is worth reading and who knows, they may even join your site!!! You can show this count by including a small piece of HTML code - TwitterCounter.

One more service that will improve your blog traffic consistently is BlogCatalog. I recommend everyone to join this site to experience the best traffic to your site. Even here your new blog posts are automatically updated. More over, you can create groups and increase your traffic. You may take part in discussions, post broadcasts and lots more there. It will take another post to explain all features about BlogCatalog. This site also provides a lot widgets. The best one among them would be the recent visitors one. You can have a look at it at the right sidebar of my blog.

The best method that you can adopt to increase traffic with BlogCatalog is, create a group saying Visit my blog and I will visit yours or provide free reviews about various sites and ask people to visit your site in return. It is up to the individual to create an idea to drive more traffic. You may visit my group to see how many members have joined - Get Comments For Your Blog. I hope all new bloggers give a try to these 2 sites and improve their traffic.
