Here's a liittle known search engine trick to get traffic. Incorporate people, places and things that have been in the news recently. It works especially well for people in the news. One example I can refer to is my recent post When recruiters go bad.
In that post I wrote about a woman Kathryn Clark Melanson, a recruiter who was in the news for stealing some money. That post got me several visitors in the days that followed. Since people had seen her on the news and in the newspaper, they began googling her. In fact my post is now #3 on the first page of Google results for " kathryn clark melanson".
I also wrote a post on SOTHJ about the Fort McMurray, Canada job market which is booming due to oilsands production. This post alone has resulted in almost 1,000 visitors to that blog. All I did was watch a piece on 60 minutes and then blogged about it the next day. Instant traffic followed.
