You’ve got your blog rolling and finding content flows naturally. Your comments are positive and you are linking out, however the anticipated visitors are still not arriving in droves.

There are of course a mountain of ways to tackle the issue of blog traffic, I’ve found that WPscoop might be on it’s way to rivalling Digg for getting your blog appreciated and ‘out there’. The concept of the site is similar to Digg, the twist being that the site is very much aimed toward bloggers on the WordPress platform.

You can submit your content to WPscoop and exisiting member will be able to vote (scoop) or comment on your articles. When a certain threshold of scoops has been reached your blog entry will be placed on the Upcoming page on WPscoop and gain further exposure.  The diversity of options for someone searching the site is as broad as you might expect with views ranging from 24 hrs / 7 days / 30 days and so on.

With the WP firefox plugin an article can be submitted to scoop with a simple right click. Videos are also able to be submitted.

The membership profiles are also a nice feature allowing you both promote your own blog but in turn reciprocate with 3rd party reviews you have submitted. For blogging to grow takes both commitment and a marketing strategy. Scoop should be a part of your approach.
