Hello guys, im kinda new to blogging and i want to know if there are ways to promote/advertise a blog to get traffic/readers. Any answer will help me. I want to promote learn-to-host.blogspot.com Thanks.
You could try using EntreCard.com or BlogRush. Also, do all of the usual stuff, such as being an active member in a related forum and submitting to website directories.
Paint your domain onto your body then rush the field at a major sporting event. All joking aside, just type that search term in Google and you should find plenty of sites that will help you a lot.
I suggest you go to a bunch of sites in your niche and start making comments. People will come. You could also do a gorilla campaign and get 1000 new visitors like I did on one of my sites.
Submit your blog to a bunch of directories and search engines. Then submit your rss feed to a bunch of feed directories. Then write lots of articles, blogs, and comment on other people's blogs. Join link exchanges and promote using any means possible! gotta plant those seeds any way you can.
If you are blogging in a niche that people want to read about, then blogs largely promote themselves, provided you i. make frequent posts; ii. ensure your entry titles are compelling and keyword-rich (not stuffed). (Your posts titles seem a plain.) Make ~100 directory submissions to get yourself started and you should have no problems getting traffic. Join a few blogging related forums (Google: inurl:showthread intitle:"blogging forum") and tactfully "make people aware" of your blog there. Ask for reviews there. Join blogflux, BlogCatalog, MyBlogLog etc. and participate - it is often a case of I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine when you start out. Read other people's blogs and they'll often read yours. Every once in a while pick a controversial aspect within your niche and write a solid entry on it ensuring you use hot search terms in the entry title. Sign up at active forum that permit the use of the blog RSS feed (like this one), participate and use enbed your RCC feed. For your niche, you might like to find them using this Google search: inurl:showthread "Recent blog:" hosting
Social bookmarking sites are a really good way to promote your blog! They will give you a good kick start for sure!
Comment on other people's blogs of relevance and ask if they would do the same. A lot of people also have blog rolls you could ask for a link on one of those.
Thanks everyone, i'll change the titles to something better as ThreeGuineaWatch said. And i'll have to go back to social bookmarkers. Directories are boring but i guess ill have to do it.
Yes, it's a grind, but you can buy submissions fairly cheaply on here in other areas of the forum (if you can find someone reliable). Otherwise, PM me and I can hook you up with a very reliable person who will do 1000+ submissions for you for $49.

Well, Blogrush isn't that good for a traffic source. You'll probably get a few people here and there but overall, I wouldn't waste my time with it. The best place to start is social media sites, I wrote an article on the Potential Traffic from Various Media Sites and also forums are a good way to get traffic if you do it right. I also made a list of my 13 Blogging Forums that Will Help. But you have to be VERY active in marketing. Matter of fact, marketing should be like 80-90% of what you do outside of your blog stuff (writing, designs, etc).
