There are many factors that make blogs much better than normal WebPages including the speed at which blogs are indexed, ability to submit to blog directories & normal directories, pings and track backs. All these little things can help drive more traffic to blogs. Here are 15 popular techniques you can use:
1.) Create at least four keyword posts per day. Most of the top blogs such as Boing Boing, Daily Kos, and Instapundit (with literally tens of thousands of visitors per day) publish an average of 30 small 100-150 word posts per day according to "Secrets of the A-list Bloggers: Lots of Short Posts" by TNL.net
2.) Submit to My Yahoo! When you submit your own RSS to My Yahoo it is indexed by Yahoo.
3.) Submit to Google's Reader. When you submit your own blog RSS to Google's Reader the Google Blog Search will index your site.
4.) Add a relevant link directory to your blog and trade links like a demon possessed! Although it may take more time than simply submitting to a search engine one time, this method is perhaps the best way to drive traffic to your site. Use software such as Zeus to speed up the link trading process.
5.) Use ping sites like ping-o-matic. Ping your site every time you add a new post.
6.) Submit your blog to traditional search engines such as AltaVista, and MSN.
7.) Submit your blog to traditional directories such as DMOZ. Directories (particularly DMOZ) increase relevance with Google. DMOZ is very picky, but what do you have to lose by trying?
8.) Submit to as many RSS Directories and Search Engines as possible. This is a simple but repetitive process that can be done with software such as RSS SUBMIT.
9.) Comment on other blogs. Do not just leave short, lazy comments like "I agree." Leave well thought out replies that will force readers to wonder "who wrote this?"
10.) Use track backs. If there is a blog that you refer to or quote and it is highly relevant to your subject, leave a track back. It increases your link popularity and may even score a few interested readers from the linked site.
11.) Go offline. Use newspaper ads, public bulletin boards, business cards, even stickers to let as many people as possible know your blog exists.
12.) Ad a link to your blog in your e-mail signature block.
13.) Use Groups (Usenet). Find a relevant group on Google groups, Yahoo groups, MSN groups or any of the thousands of other FREE group services and find like minded people and talk with them. Make sure your use your blog URL like it is your name.
14.) Use Forums. Forums are one of the best places to go for advice. Go to forums and find problems to solve. Make sure you leave your blog name, but be tactful about it; some forums get annoyed with those who selfishly drop a few links to their own site and leave.
15.) Tag your website. Tagging is a new idea that has erupted across the web. Sites like Del.icio.us, Technorati and many others have a social feature that allows you to place your article under keywords or "tags" that everyone interested in that tag can see.
Although these are some of the most popular ways to drive traffic to your blog, do not limit your self to tips and lists. Use your imagination and you will come up with thousands of ways to drive traffic to your blog!

IPL bidding results
MUMBAI: India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni attracted the highest price of $1.5 million (approximately Rs6 crore) in the first round of bidding for players in the Indian Premier League, ahead of international stars like Muttiah Muralitharan, Mahela Jayawardena , Shane Warne and Adam Gilchrist.
Dhoni was bought by the Chennai team for the first three years of the Twenty20 IPL competition featuring eight city-based teams.
Gilchrist attracted the next highest bid of $700,000 from the Hyderabad team, while Muralitharan went to Chennai for $600,000.
The three players were among the six ‘A’ list cricketers or “marquee players” who were pegged as the biggest draw and started the bidding session at a seafront Mumbai hotel.
The Mohali team acquired Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardena for $475,000, while former Australia spinner Shane Warne went to Jaipur for $450,000. The Calcutta squad acquired the services of Pakistan paceman Shoaib Akhtar for $425,000.
Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Yuvraj Singh and Virender Sehwag have been given ‘iconic´ status, which means they will not be auctioned off and lead their home teams.
Eight franchise owners, including corporate tycoons and Bollywood actors, are bidding for 78 cricketers in a pioneering process that some observers believe will change the face of the game.
Each will get 15% more than the highest-paid player in his side.
Industrialist Nes Wadia and Bollywood star Priety Zinta, franchise owners of the Mohali team, and Shah Rukh Khan, franchise owner of the Kolkata team, along with wife Gauri arrive for the auction of cricket players for the Indian Premier League in Mumbai
The winning bids were disclosed by Lalit Modi, chairman of the IPL governing body.
“We’re all very excited, this is a tremendous day for world cricket,” Modi said before the auction began.
All bidding is being done electronically in a sealed room, where eight teams owned by a variety of Indian companies and Bollywood superstars are vying for 78 of the world’s finest cricketers.The bidding is being conducted by professional English auctioneer Richard Madley.
A total of 13 Australians are going under the hammer, with many expected to attract fierce bidding based on their competitive reputation in international cricket.
Other Australians going under the hammer include Brett Lee, Matthew Hayden, Shane Warne, Justin Langer and Glenn McGrath.
Also in the fray are 25 Indians, 11 Sri Lankans, 11 South Africans, eight Pakistanis, five New Zealanders, three West Indians and one Zimbabwean.

mapquest
MapQuest is a map publisher and a free online Web mapping service owned by AOL. The company was founded in 1967 as Cartographic Services, a division of R.R. Donnelley & Sons in Chicago, Illinois. It moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1969. When it became an independent company in 1994, it was renamed GeoSystems Global Corporation. MapQuest was acquired in 2000 by America Online, Inc. Company headquarters are in Lancaster and Denver, Colorado.[1]
Donnelley began making maps with computers in the mid-1980s to generate maps for customers. Much of that code was adapted for use on the Internet to create the MapQuest web service in 1996. In 1999 the company was renamed to MapQuest to leverage the popularity of its online brand. For a while, MapQuest included satellite images, but later removed them. In September 2006, the web site once again began serving satellite imagery in a new beta program.
In 2004, MapQuest, uLocate, Research in Motion and Nextel launched MapQuest Find Me, a buddy-finder service that works on GPS-enabled mobile phones. MapQuest Find Me lets users automatically find their location, access maps and directions and locate nearby points of interest including airports, hotels, restaurants, banks and ATMs. Users also have the ability to set up alerts to be notified when network members arrive or depart from a designated area. In 2005 the service became available on Sprint and in 2006, Boost Mobile.
In July 2006, MapQuest created a beta version of a new feature in which users could now "Build Your Route" by adding additional stops, reorder one's route (and the stops along the way), and avoid any turn or road en route.
In April 2007, MapQuest announced a partnership with General Motors' OnStar that will allow OnStar subscribers to plan their driving routes on MapQuest.com and send their destination right to OnStar's Turn-by-Turn Navigation service. The OnStar Web Destination Entry pilot program will begin the summer of 2007 with a select group of OnStar subscribers.
