50 Ways to Drive Massive Traffic to Your Blog

When I first started my blog I found and bookmarked an excellent blog posting by Cassie Boorn on July 11, 2012 on how to drive massive traffic to your blog. I notice that Cassie Boorn website "www.askaprgirl.com" was no longer on line.  I thought her article on driving traffic to your blog had some good ideas and was something that should still be shared with the world so I decided to repost her blog article (with the help of Archive.org) for other to read, use and share.
