First URL you provided is old as hell. Doesn’t look authoritative. But, who knows…
And that video on YouTube doesn’t play - does it play for you? I guess Matt Cutts explains something about “nofollow” attribute there.
Ok, probably you’re right. Now let’s imagine that I have several posts in my blog about porn sites which should never be visited due to malware danger. I use “nofollow” in all links in that post because I do not want to harm my rankings. But if Google still visits all those links - what will happen to my rankings?
Search engines respect it when other sites have links to your site. So if you can get a link to your blog or website on other site, by publishing articles and so forth, that will help. Also, links on Facebook and other social media can help. Basically the more links to your site out there the better.
Good content is the most important and should be placed at the first.
Picking the right keywords are also a big knowledge. If you have chosen a fiercely competitive keyword, you can hardly rank on the front pages in search engine.If you have chosen a keyword which has small searches, even if you rank first in SE, you can not get enough traffic.
After the two things are OK, I think, it’s the time for your to consider to make SEO for your blog.
First of all, it do plays, maybe your PC do not works well lol. Double check it. If you are going to put some porn link at your blog knowing that its not related to your niche, your ranking will definitely go down. :x
Ever imagined how many webmasters think the way you do? There’re millions of links submitted every day. And the chance of getting a traffic avalanche is too low. You’ll be receiving a few grains from Social Bookmarking.
I’m not saying that you should not submit your links. I say that it is almost useless effort.
Probably you need to improve the tag of your blog like: title, description, keyword.
Try to optimize that, especially title tag where you need to put some keyword in it.
Also try to submit your blog to some directories, social network, forum you will get some backlinks that works for SE positioning.
Sometimes traffic depends from the niche of your website, but consider that most content (unique and well written) you have, most traffic you can generate!
Write good post original, unique, complete and try to submit to social network like digg, reddit, mixx, stumbleupon etc…
If your post are interesting you probably get more visits from social and after from search engine.
I agree,200 per day is not at all bad…at least initially but if you still want to increase the traffic, you should go link building or rather get yourself registered on the social networks and promote your blog there, you’ll get many opportunities there.
If your blogs have been around for 9 months and you’re getting roughly 200 visits per day then you need to write a good content and target more keywords. When some of keywords rank well on search results it will generate more traffic to your blog which will increase your links.
