Hello everybody, How are you? I have a blog of 4 months old, I write short and intense stories. People like them, everybody told me, I am very happy. I want to promote my blog because it is unknown. A friend told me it's enough to write good content for people to come to my blog. But they need to know about it, I assume. Can you be so nice to suggest me a list or a link with all I can do to promote my blog please? It is on facebook, twitter, indexed by google already, I signed for some sites like google, yahoo and other. I need a list with the best places to promote it. I tried to place the link to some forums, posting, but they banned me. How do you promote the sites on the forums? On facebook and twitter I only keep on adding contacts, hoping one day they visit my blog after I announce a new story and post the link. Thanks for a short and comprehensive list. A nice day!

Well, you can start by putting your blog url in your profile signature. That way, people will be able to tell you what all things you need to do so that your visitors come again. e.g. you can put an RSS subscribe button through feedburner or something. That way, your readers will be notified whenever you write a new article. There are various ways of promoting your blog but I'm no expert on that. You can however start by having a look the top blogs like problogger.net, johnchow.com, etc.

Your friends is definitely right. Content is over all the main thing. I won`t repeat here the issues which you have already read but I would add one more thing. Working on your content try to make something like VIRUS stuff. Something like scandal, nonsense, discovering. The rest will happened itself.
Do some article marketing, if you're a writer I would suggest you go to other's writers blogs and leave comments on their blogs, and build relationships with other well known writers...from there you could do guest posts on their blogs with a link back to your blog. Best of Luck!

From this point popularity of your blog is like a vicious circle - the higher the PR - the more people can approach it, the more people visit it and then link to it - the higher PR will be.
