Increasing the exposure of your site equates to greater web traffic. Also, you can exert extra effort to make your traffic subscribe to your feeds, bookmark your site, or both.

How do you do it?

Here are 5 ways to increase your site's exposure:

1. Join blog carnivals. In the blogosphere, carnivals are an ideal way to get free link backs and drive new visitors to your site. A good site to have them is blogcarnival.com. The more carnivals you get, the more exposure you will enjoy.

2. Comment on other blogs. Such participation could create proximity. Chances are bloggers will scope you out.

3. Participate in forums. Forums involving different topics are almost everywhere. So choose some forums that are directly related to your site's subject matter.

4. Post Link Love. A 5-10 posted links on other bloggers site is a good promotion. Also, you can compliment them by posting your links on your site.

5. Join a blog network. The network is easy to find. And easy to join. Again, make sure the network is directly related to your site.
