Last week Daniel over at Daily Blog Tips announced ran his first, of what he’s calling his Monthly Blog Projects. He set two parameters for each month’s project:

1. Send me your tip about the current topic (the first one will be “Traffic Generation Tips”). You can use the contact form or post a comment below.
2. After I publish the list of participants and their tips you write a post with a link to everyone that participated in the project.

I thought this sounded great. All of us that read in Daily Blog Tips would benefit from all the responses Daniel get to each month’s project. AND, if we participate in the montly project, we benefit with links and trackbacks to our sites. Sounds like a win all the way around, huh?

Well Daniel just posted Blog Project: 30 Traffic Generating Tips with some nice tips from bloggers about how to grow the traffic on our blogs. Many of the tips we’ve heard before…commenting on other blogs, join communities, post frequency, etc.

But I did find a couple of favorites that I have yet to try:

• from Daniel: Add a translator plugin to extend your blog to non-english speaking bloggers.
• from Tillerman: Write about the top ten bloggers in your niche
• from Inspirationbit: Use other social bookmarking sites like blog-buzz.com
• from Kyle: Use complex posts to write shorter, simpler “for dummies” version with your own lessons learned and relevant tips.
• from Rory: Get involved in a blog carnival.

There are some good ideas here. I think I’m most intrigued with adding a translator plugin to my blog. Anyone have experience using one? If so, I’d love to hear your feedback.

I didn’t have the chance to participate in this Blog Project. I’ll certainly look to add my tips in future additions. In the meantime, for your reading pleasure, here are some of the best articles I’ve found from around the blogosphere for suggestions on generating traffic…
