To ensure that you make money with blogs you must drive traffic to your blog. There are many ways to get more traffic. The following are proven methods that don't cost anything more than your time but are important enough to budget some time and repeat them as often as possible.

1) Post relevant and useful comments on others' blogs in an effort to receive track back links and comments on your blog. Adding good information and resources will help establish you as an expert in your particular niche as you share knowledge and build a relationship with other webmasters and bloggers. Finding relevant blogs and posting to them takes time but there is a time saver. I use Comment Kahuna, a software that quickly finds blogs with a keyword search and allows you to post comments in short order.

2) Posting in forums works very much the same way. it's easy to show off your expertise by answering question and offering solutions to others in the forum community. It's a great place to establish friendships and even find JV partners. A forum dedicated to your particular niche is also a learning center - you might even find an idea for a niche market. Do write a signature file that will be added to every post you make.

3) Great content applies not only to your website, but also to the articles you submit. Content that offers real information - especially new or unique information - that will be of value to your readers, establishes your authority as an expert in your niche and will help you gain a following...repeat readers. Now that is a good thing. Personally, I find posts and articles explaining technical stuff very interesting. Also, reviews of software and plug-ins cause me to go back and look for more. In this fast changing internet world, there is always something new - some really helpful and some not so great.

4) Make the most of your blogs and web pages with an opt-in box in a very visible spot. Request your readers' email address in exchange for a free report, e-book or newsletter. You can then notify them of new updates and offers. This opt-in box builds your list and opens the door to opportunities to make money because this is a very targeted list.

5) Join social bookmarking sites to share favorite web sites with one another. Just "tag" to your blog posts and readers will be able to bookmark your site in their account. Digg is one of the popular social bookmarking sites. I like Onlywire. It takes a bit of effort to set up because there are a dozen or more social sites to join and then add your membership info to OnlyWire. Once you're set up, it only takes a minute to submit your blog posts and articles to all these various social networking sites in one easy step.

There are many ways to drive traffic and they all add up to help you make money with blogs.
