Ok you're first hot trends blog is set up and ready for visitors to come and read your content and hopefully click on your money making links. So let's get some visitors. Obviously we want all we can get in a short period of time.

Since we can't really count on Google to index out blog within 24 to 48 hours, so we can start seeing some traffic from organic searches, we need to build some back links to our blog that will generate traffic to our post from people interested in the content.

Here's the formula:
More links from popular sites = higher search engine positions for your page.

But for our Purposes:
The initial traffic boost comes from people using Social Bookmarking sites INSTEAD of search engines. Social Bookmarking sites not only give you a link back to your site but allows others to rate and recommend your site.

Why? Because millions of people have learned that people who are actual users and not machines do a much better job of categorizing topical RELEVANT information than search engines do. Not that they have stopped using search engines all together, but they have found that their favorite social bookmarking site(s) are a viable resource.

Some Hot Trends Linger On to the first page of the social bookmarking site such as Digg or Stumbleupon, when a hot site is featured on the front page you are sure to get lots of traffic.

When a hot trend lingers (Stays hot for a week or 2), back links from popular sites to your hot trend blogs can make a significant difference. How does Social Bookmarking build or generate traffic to your hot trends blog? The top (PR-5 and above), Social Bookmarking sites are very popular and therefore just getting your blog URL, description of your content and tags (Keywords), generate traffic from the social bookmarking sites themselves.

Google sees links coming from the more popular sites as having more weight when listing your blog in search engine results. It's for this reason, optimizing your blog for the social web and using bookmarking widgets can help your site gain extra traffic. This traffic can come in avalanches just by having a popular article as compared to ranking for a keyword.

If you have done your hot trends research right, there will be some ongoing interest in your hot trend topic this is sometimes called link baiting.
