However, with a little time, patience and work, it can be done. In this article, we'll explore a few easy ways that you can drive additional traffic to your weblog using search engine optimization or SEO.

First - if you're not using WordPress for your weblog platform, you should probably switch. WordPress includes a ton of "proper" SEO items out of the box, and the remainder of things you need to SEO your weblog can be added through plugins such as HeadSpace or All-In-One SEO. Install WordPress on your web server using their handy guides, and transfer your posts from your previous blog installation over to WordPress. You'll also need to sort yourself out with a theme design for your website - but you can find many of these for free by searching Google. You will also want to install Google XML Sitemaps, which will create a search engine-valid XML Sitemap AND submit it for you.

If you're not using WordPress, you're in for bit slower of a time. You can use online tools to create your sitemap and submit it in to the search engines for you. You can also use other free tools that will get the search engines to visit your site and index your content for you on a regular basis. One of these such tools is called an XML-RPC Pinger, which when used correctly will cause the Google spider and Google Blogs spiders to visit your site and index your new blog posts almost immediately.

Finally, you will want to ensure that you are writing relevant, unique content regularly. You don't need to be posting every single day, but it's best to get at least a couple of fresh blog posts up a week to ensure that the search spiders are revisiting your site on a regular basis.
