All webmasters in your niche know the key to success of Google Adsense is boosting traffic to your site, and if your blog traffic is high that means you've more chance to get a click from a visitor. To make money all you need to get is traffic over traffic then comes other stuff like Page Rank and Search engine ranking. Let us forget about these things for a moment and get started on how to focus on driving traffic to your blog. Previously getting traffic to your blog was pretty simple, unlike these days which takes painstaking work. Previously Google would easily push traffic to many blogs with out any authentication, it would drive traffic to even duplicate content. But now this Panda updates and penguin updates, are making us hard to get more traffic to blog. Now every webmaster is getting to know more things about the searching algorithms changes made by Google.

For increasing blog traffic, every webmaster must know the best two known methods which are very effective are: 

1. Blog Commenting - Which creates a Backlink to the you, The better you comment on a higher PR website, the better will be your backlink. There were many dofollow blogs, but due to recent changes in search algorithm, many blogs have turned into nofollow. 
2. Social Promotion - Another awesome way to get traffic to your blog is just promoting your article, to various social networking sites like facebook, twitter, digg, and I would recommend stumbleupon. A stumble upon is a must as you can see the following screen where I just received a 600+ hits for a new blog which was just 3days older to its launch.

Some more interactive ways to get traffic to your blog:

1.First Impression of your Blog(Theme)

Design of your blog is as important as your own looks. Some basic widgets which are must inside your blog design are subscription button, social links, popular posts, recent article, ads. Most visitors tend to be carried away by looks of the blog and keep visiting until they get bored. So, keep in mind its the first impression of the blog that matters the most.

2.Comment on related sites

Google is now become the supreme power and controls almost every other blogger and webmaster. So, either you acquire Google or your follow Google, there are only two options. So, Google emphasizes on commenting on related sites, as any backlinks you would fetch from that site will be valuable. And commenting with just same old line won't fetch you value to your site, so keep reading the content and commenting relating to the content on related sites.

3.Dofollow or Nofollow (Why is this important?)

Most of the sites a couple of years back, were dofollow. But due to recent spam control algorithm (Penguin update by Google), bloggers and webmaster have become sharp and modified their blog to nofollow. Nevertheless nofollow doesn't really mean you won't fetch backlinks to your blog. Google has only said, high quality is linkback from high valued related sites. So, don't worry about this just keep commenting.

4.Link building

Guest post is part and speck of blogging. So, is link building. Link building not only increases blog traffic instantly but also increase reputation of your blog. Writing great articles on other related sites in your niche, is a great way to earn high quality links.

Recently I found out that a very good link, where you could also, try it. This link provides you an opportunity to comment on .edu site and help you increase backlinks to your site. Since EDU sites are usually considered high value sites.
