This is exactly what is sounds like.
You want to search for blogs in your marketplace and then contact the owners of those blogs asking them if you could write a guest blog post for them.
At the bottom of your guest post, include a small bio and link to your own blog.
Guest blogging is a fantastic way to increase credibility and to generate targeted traffic in your market.
You're leveraging the following of another person's blog to get traffic and gain exposure.

Guest blogging is powerful.
Action Step: Go on Google and search for blogs in your marketplace.
Find and contact 5 blog owners and ask them what it would take to do a guest post on their blog.
Try and find at least one guest post opportunity by the end of this week.
Traffic Method #3 - Facebook Good old Facebook.
Facebook is just ridiculously powerful for content sharing.
Chances are you already know the power of likes, shares, commenting and status updates so I won't go too much into it.
But just know that whenever you share, comment, like or post an update, ALL of your friends have the opportunity to see it on their news feed.
So let's say you wrote a new blog post on your blog and then you post a Facebook update with a link to your blog post.
As soon as you post the Facebook update, it will start appearing on your friends' news feeds so when your friends sign into Facebook they will see that you have a new blog post on your blog.
Your friend may then "like" your status update.
When your friend "likes" your status update, all of his/her friends will see that he/she liked your update.
Still with me? If you can't get your mind wrapped around this now, don't worry.
Just know that Facebook is extremely powerful for giving your blog exposure.
Action Step: From today on, every single time you post a new blog post be sure to post a Facebook status update about it.
The KEY is to post a status update with a powerful headline.
Most people miss the mark on this one.
They'll just post the URL of their new blog post and that's it.
That's wrong.
You want to make the status update something compelling.
