  Social networking is strictly give, give, give to get. Invest more time into locating and on commenting on blogs with similar content. Identifying who your target audience is, what they already know, what they need to know, where they are found, and the best way to deliver your message to them is critical to success.

  Two ways of attracting like-minded subscribers are
  (1) commenting meaningfully and frequently on blogs with similar content and
  (2) being active on social networking sites.

  If you want to increase traffic then don’t listen to anyone who professes there are passive ways of doing that. Increasing traffic to a blog is hard work. If you want your blog to rank well in search engine results then that begins with creating and publishing original content ie. unique content that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet.

It also touches lightly upon challenges webmasters and search engines face, such as duplicate content http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/03/22/5google-webmasters-video-tutorials/

  If you are using a WordPress.com theme good SEO is a given. However, going beyond the theme what the blogger has done within that structure is worth evaluating. Whether you write informative, persuasive or controversial content learning how search engines work, and how to apply basic SEO to you content will benefit your blog as it will increase traffic from targeted readers. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/10/21/two-seo-videos-for-bloggers/
