How to get traffic for your blog

The guys at 37 Signals are brilliant marketers. They have taught me how to get traffic to a blog.
1. Identify the highest traffic sites
2. Compliment them to the point that they link to you
3. Reap the rewards

Second way
1. Identify the issues which get the most flames and traffic – such as say anything insulting to Apple for instance
2. Whip up a controversy
3. Curse
4. Get traffic

So the lesson here is simple. Be a foul mouthed, link baiting, back scratching sycophant. Say crazy things, start fights and what ever you do keep posting.
