Oh man, the mastermind group is full.

Too bad.

Hey those are really great results, congratulations!

Great tips too. I just started blogging seriously about a week ago, and I can say working on social ties really helps. I’ve been using entrecard to kickstart my blog, and it’s been working quite well.

Plus, I’m also discovering a lot of other great blogs that I can learn from
Keep up the good work, and I hope your traffic continues to rise as fast as it has

Mert,

Congratulations on the success! I hope it continues to improve for you, and hopefully I can catch you in 2008!

Best wishes for the new year!

Hard work is what got you here, hard work is what will keep you moning foward. Stay the Course!

Mert,

That’s really quite impressive, thank you for sharing your tips. I’ve bookmarked the page.

Hi Mert,

Excellent post and sharing. Will put more time myself here. Happy New Year from Malaysia.

Rosli.

really nice ideas you are giving…..
Am also new to blogging, pls do check my blog http://www.theburjalalam.com
and share your knowledge with me on what should i do to increase my traffic.. thanks again for such a wonderful article/

Your 10 basic principles list was terrific and could be used for a variety of business ventures. “Give helping hand to new bloggers” reminded me of what Russell Simmons said in his book “Do You” which I highly recommend. He said you need to give to receive and I think you’ve proven that as well.

Hello Mert,
Nice post with very creative ideas. If I had seen it earlier, I would have linked to it in my latest post http://3rdworldblogger.com/blog-reading-via-rss-vs-entrecard-droppingreading/
It talks about the opportunity Entrecard provides enabling us to see a wide range of blogs (e.g. yours) which we probably wouldn’t find otherwise so soon.

Thanks for such an informative post!! Congratulations on your 2007 achievements and best wishes for even greater success in 2008!

Take GREAT Care!

Congrats! Your growth is impressive I also think it’s cool you are showing how you did it. Nice!

great post. great writing and way to break it down. Very organized and informative. New to your site but i’ll return for sure. usually don’t learn much from bigger blogs, so i’m glad i found a gem with this blog.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Good luck with your blog this coming 2008. Best of luck to us all.

Oh and another thing… We use the same WP theme. Ain’t that cool?

Alexa ranking is truly weird. My blog currently gets around the same visits as you listed in this post (4,000/mo) yet my Alexa “reach” is around 0.00015% rather than your 0.0015%! My Alexa ranking is also a lot higher than your 253,520.

Finally, Alexa doesn’t provide traffic graphs if you’re not in the top 100,000 so how did you managed to get a traffic graph with data back to when your visits were only a few hundred a month??

@Enough Wealth: Thanks for your interest to my post. The graphs are taken from Alexa results. You can easily check by typing my blog’s URL. Also yesterday i post an update and apologize for the wrong assumption. Because i am going to finish December around 5000-5500 visits. I got 1000 unique visitors in 2 day with this post.

Are we racing, anyway?

Hey Mert,

I’d like to know what tool do you use to measure your traffic? The one at the top of this post.

Thank you for the tips as well, it has provided me with better insight.

Yan

Hey Yan,

I used SiteMeter to measure my traffic. But there are some people who claim Awstats are giving more accurate results. I will be trying Awstats as well.

I am glad that my blogging tips worked for you as well. I wish you all the best!

Cheers,
Mert

Hey Mert

Thanks! I’ll take a look at Awstats in a short while.

You have a good day, Mert.

Hi Mert, Thanks for the nice and helpful article. This is really nice of you to guide new blogger’s. i also started blogging since September 2007. Now I have also left job and want to earn my living through blogging. before I started blogging i researched a lot about earning opportunities on Internet and found blogging a good to earn money and become popular in the world. But blogging is not an easy affair. One has to be regular, precise and friendly with other blogger’s. your tips shows the same. I also have never spend any money for blogging. There are so many free resources which can be utilized to the fullest to become a professional blogger. Thanks again for your nice post.

I am a new joiner to the blogging world… i like one of the pointer, “Do it your way!(Frank Sinatra!) Do not emulate big bloggers. Be yourself, no matter what they say (Sting!) “, that should be how one blog …..

Very impressive traffic. I’d like to get there as well.

90 days is a good target. My blog, http://www.thelazyslacker.com is 21 days old, have just over 2 months left.

Anything over 30K visitors a month would be awesome

Great achievement dude. I would love to reach that in next few months.Btw, thanks for the tips

hy! nice job mert

I am also new to blogging but I am an expert in other forms of marketing. Getting to grips with all this new technology and the changes on the web, in the last few years seems very challenging.

Wonderful article!!!

Pretty impressive! hard work will get you places! Blogging still gets me traffic whether its linked to my website or not.

Ok, but wha’ts the ’scam,’ because your subject says “How I Quadrupled My Blog’s Traffic In 3 Months,” so when I clicked here, I expected to see detailed steps, like “I really plugged my blog on FaceBook” or “I used super-duper meta-tags,” but… all we get is this lame chart showing your traffic “increased”?!

Ok, yeah, that’s great, but where are the steps? Maybe I’m missing the point?

Hi Jeff, it is a long post. I wanted to prove my blog’s success with the stats. That is why I started with the stats. Then I step by step wrote about things I regularly did to achieve those stats. Read below “Well, let me tell you step by step what i did to achieve such a good performance:” and you will find the steps.

Mert,

thank you for posting these tips. i have been working on my blog pretty much non stop for the last month. seeing this article really will help me optimize my operation and make the most of my time.

this has been very helpful and valuable.

Mert, I tried to sign up for your newsletter, but rec an aweber error.

Will try again.

Great info!!!!

@ PJ: Thanks for your interest. It was a temporary problem. I fixed it now. Please try again.

This is an old post, but still contains some great information =)

Was going to also mention the aweber issue, I will try again later as well.
