Hello all. Just registered and just setup my new blog. Its a blog from my dogs point of view (kind of cheesy I guess, but there are a ton of dog lovers!) I posted a few things on there but being new to this, i dont really know where to go next. I have an adsense account and a clickbank account, what would be the best way to set that up on this blog? How should i go about promoting my blog. Is there a place to get free info i can redistribute? Thanks http://samtheboxer.blogspot.com sam.....
I wouldn't bother putting adsense on your blog until you get some traffic it can make a site look a little spamy in the beginning untill you build up a decent amount of content. You should submit your site to blog directories aswell as free web directories to build some backlinks. For free content try: www.goarticles.com www.articlealley.com www.article-free.net
Here are some of my favorite traffic driving & website promotion techniques. Works great at pulling in traffic, subscribers and sales. 1. Article Marketing 2. Social Bookmarking 3. RSS Submission 4.

JV with related competitors You can pick up more details on powerful traffic driving and sales pulling secrets from my free report in my signature. It is a great guide for newbies.
Well, there are a few tips I would give you and one of those is the most basic: get your own domain name. While free sounds nice, having your own domain name makes it easier for people to remember you and you are able to build a brand up. Once you do that, this is what I recommend you do: 1. Write a new post every day (or develop a frequency that makes sense). However, follow through with that frequency. 2. Go to different dog forums and every once in a while, post a thread that links to one of your stories. That will bring more people to your blog for sure. 3. Definitely try social bookmarking. Try and get a couple of your articles stumbled a few times and the traffic should come in fast. I wouldn't worry so much about earning money right now because if you're a brand new blogger, chances are, you won't make much money. I wrote a blog post about when to monetize a blog, so check it out. It may answer some questions. Good luck regardless!
Best way to drive traffic at the beginning of a blog, if you dont have an advertising budget, is to post comments on similar blogs, and leave a link there.
just post your article every day. Submit your blog to directory and your article to digg or somewhere else. keep walking then you will get the good raking
