Hello everyone, I started a poker blog about 3 months ago (the one in my sig), and currently I get about 20 unique visitors a day. I have not done much in terms of marketing the site. I have lots of unique content, and I try to post every 3-4 days, and i've been building links here and there. I'd like to hear from you guys to help me with marketing my site...because this is definitely my weakness! Anything that you can think of that will drive quality traffic to my site and bring in the dollars! Thanks in advance, Kevin
Well, submit your blog to SEO friendly directories with an average-good page rank. This will provide you even more backlinks. Second, when you post and send out pings...send out an additional ping using Ping-o-Matic service: http://pingomatic.com/
I suggest you to do press release and do submission to PRweb and other free press release distribution sites to get more exposure for your site. You can also write articles and submit it to article directories to get high quality backlinks to your site.
You should participate in some online poker communities. You don't need to spam your blog to them; simply add a link to your signature and participate in the community; other members will notice you and take a look at your blog.
Does wordpress not do this already? I will give that a try. Great idea. I'll start searching for poker forums.
find some longtail keywords, write articles with the keyword phrase as the heading, have a link back to your blog in the resource box and submit to ezinearticles. make a report full of tips and put a link to it in some of the poker forums.
I was thinking of making a free ebook (with my links in it) and distributing it to everywhere I could. Besides forums, is there anywhere I could give an ebook away?
