    Well the question is in the title:p

    I have a lowest unique bid site (www.bidzap.biz), so if I created a bidzap blog on wordpress, how could I use this to promote my website?

    Thanks:cool:

    Bidzapbiz - for the benefit of newbies like myself, can you explain how your site works? I don't understand the concept of a lowest unique bid.

    As far as being able to promote your site using a blog, I think you can promote anything via a blog, but naturally you have to offer content that people want. The blogs I regularly visit are consistently fresh and informative... something that might be hard to achieve if all you've got to talk about is your very minimalist site. You might fare better with some stealth promotion via comments on other peoples' blogs. If, for example, you're going to be giving away a lot of game consoles, why not chat up your site on blogs and forums devoted to gaming?

    You can write reviews and such about your site and also add unique content to the blog to get people to read the blog. You also if it is a different domain name, get a back link to the bid directory.

    A lowest unique bid site - you a buy a bid ticket and enter the bid you would like to make for the site trying to make it the lowest, and the only one of that bid (so unique), once all the bid tickets are sold the one with the lowest unique bid pays their bid amount then wins the prize.

    I'm not sure what kind of content I could put in a blog?

    What kind of topic/niche does your site revolve around?

    I use my blog to post articles on home business, internet marketing, and other related areas to help out my visitors.

    You will have to promote your blog in the first place, so it's pretty much the same thing as promoting your site directly.

    i would post stories of recent auctions. I would write reviews of your websites and even the product that are selling on the website. Post announcement about your website.

    You could do with a 'compelling offer' of some sort - a give-away to get people to sign up to your list - and I'd agree with previous comments about keeping your blog lively, up to date, full of content that will keep people coming back for more.

    You can promote your site using a blog by finding other similar blogs in your niche and leaving valuable comments on them, ensure that the comments adds value or else they might be removed by the admin

    By creating a blog, you can publish there unique contents and put a link to your website. You can also allow readers to comment on your blogs. It's another way of getting more traffics.
