Check out this podcast from two of my favorite savvy solopreneurs, Yaro Starak and Darren Rowse, on how to increase traffic to your blog. Darren gets in excess of 5k visitors per day to his Problogger site, and Yaro recently surpassed the 1k visitor-per-day mark on his Entrepreneur’s Journey site. I’d say they might know what they’re talking about.

Just a quick to note … in case you missed the email I sent out. I’ll be paying double affiliate commissions on all Wordpress Themes sales for the month of July. That’s 40% on all sales you generate via your affiliate link.
I’ve been meaning to do this for quite a while, and I’ve finally gotten things in place for the Solostream Affilate Program. If you’ve been looking for a way to earn some extra income from your site, this is an opportunity to help you do just that.
In a Nutshell, Here’s How it Works

Brian was kind enough to create this extensive list of resources for bloggers. He was also kind enough to include Solostream.
Artur Kim was kind enough to create the Top 40 Blogs about Wordpress. Solostream showed up at #10. Thanks Artur!
Several items came through in today’s RSS feed that shouldn’t have, and I want to apologize to all my RSS readers out there.
I get a lot of folks who want to add a header graphic to my Simplicity WordPress theme, so I figured it was time to just write a tutorial on it. It’s really pretty simple to do.
This tutorial provides step-by-step directions on how to install WordPress on your own server.
I’m doing a little experimentation with streaming video on a WordPress site. As part of that experimentation, I created a brief video introduction to WordPress. I think it’s like 15 minutes long. I’d like to know if you have any problems viewing the video, so please share via the comments link. Thanks!
My tutorial on adding Flash video to your Worpdress site was pretty popular … this tutorial is designed to make it easy for you to add Quicktime video to your WordPress site.
So you want to create the next Rocketboom (video blog). Or perhaps you have some video you want to add to your WordPress blog or website. This tutorial shows you how to do it with WordPress.
In this lesson, I show you how to install a plugin that’ll help create an email feedback page for your site. In the process, you’ll also learn how to create new pages for your WordPress site.
In this lesson, we move the sidebar a little more, widen the main content area, and add the sidebar to all the other pages on your site.
The video for this lesson runs about 8 minutes, and you can download here.

Great audio. Web traffic really isn’t that hard if you are prepared to work the basics, keep at it, and finish things off.
In my opinion people spend too much time looking for a quick fix or the “holy grail” of web traffic (whatever that is) rather than focusing on the basics.
Cheers
