Do you think a new blog can generate traffic without any promotion?

that was my problem before... i still dont even understand what a SEO really is all about... it was like months already and i still have 200 visitors. i wanted to earn from blogging and there is a requirement in ranking, so it was really my problem. i had this what i called blogging and online income journey, along that way, aside from earning, i found that you need to have good posts, you need to follow other people's blog, so they will follow yours too. and your blog posts should really really be good, and updated all the time so people will keep on coming back to your site. but there is also a way to generate visitors to it, for free. now my blog have more than 14,000 visitors, and i had made my alexa rank from 25 million now down to 8 million in less than 2 months, not bad... this blog i am talking about is my sort of journal blog (well not daily journal).

Hi, i have recently started a blog myself and I can definitely say its possible, but there is still a bit you work that you have to do for this to happen. These two sites are very handy for doing this, this one is a list of blog directories that you can submit your blog to and hopefully send more web surfers in the direction of your blog http://www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55/part-2.htm This one automatically sends your blogs URL out to a number of directories and databases which might be worth doing http://pingomatic.com/ If you have any friends with blogs / websites aswell, it helps greatly if you make links to each others sites on your homepages. Hope this helps, and happy traffic hunting :)

I think with a lot of hard work, and time it is possible. However, using SEO and other methods, you would be far more successful.

I doubt it would be easy, as there are more site coming up, how are you able to ensure your site would be good with SEO and rank high among other sites.

There are such blogs which attract visitors naturally, without any promotion. Those blogs are enriched with very high quality content and a good keyword density. Then what's the doubt in it's traffic? In my opinion, six months are enough to get an average of 100 visitors per day, but the blog must be updated with more and more rich contented posts. I recently read about this from an online article, where a 16 year old guy explains the same topic.

I don't think its possible unless you choose very good keyword. I think you will be able to get traffic, but very limited since your not promoting it. You don't money to promote a website. You could use forums or a site like this to promote your blog. All it takes is some hard work and your good to go. Give it a try.

Perhaps if there were enough of the right kinds of keywords and the blog was devoted to a subject that was particularly popular.
