I need to know how to advertise my gaming blog.It is updated with new articles everyday.the current UV is 50-100/day. Can someone give me some tips on how to advertise it?
I'd say to go to forums, when I used to game, forums were a biggie. Also, write articles [on forums and article writing websites] about your blog [perhaps change a future blog post which would be a tutorial into an article outside of the blog] and post video guides. I had a blog once called http://vindictusguide.blogspot.com/ I had a YouTube, a Twitter, and hung out at forums to get my first 100 subscribers. [Though most were from a giveaway] before I abandoned the blog when discovering my lack of passion for gaming.
If you are ready to spend some money from your pocket, go to some famous site in your niche and try buying advertisements there. Do comment marketing in your niche sites. Participate actively in forums like DP
1. Add RSS of your blog to Feedburner.google.com 2. Register your blog on twitterfeed.com and set that posts from your blog will be automatically posted on social network websites. 3. Do not forget to create sitemap.xml for your blog and submit it to your Google Webmaster account. 4. Post your blog with description in blog catalogs like blogsearch.google.com/ping
One of the best of way of advertising is using Google adwords and using keywords to advertise your blog. With this though you would need to spend a little to get your blog/ website out there using adwords keyword tool to find words that are related directly to what you're marketing. And aside from the other comments of other DP users for getting your blog out there... Just continue writing QUALITY and USEFUL content to your target market out there. Hope these helps!
I think social marekting is a good solution for you to increase your UV's. A gaming blog is mainly a leisure relevant topic, different social networks can give you the possability to filter a lot of relevant informations about people. Use this networks as a supply source of UV's and try to create connections to your gaming blog. Another idea would be to contact different gaming clans, most of them got own websites if you got new informations about a specific game go to the clan witch is playing this game and and invite them to you blog or try to integrate your articles there. This is also a chance to get insider informations about the gaming scene. The target of manny clans is to get big and famous, create something like an "monitor of the best clans" in your website. They will be happy about to see that tey are listed there. contact the admins/clan leaders and ask about it. i hope this ideas helped you. if you got any other questions not hesitate to contact me
be active on those popular game forum, use your signature to promote your blog if you willing to spend, buy ads space on those high traffic game site
what sort of information do you put on? I did have a gaming site and found the best was to change it to news and put news updates on it. Then i applied for Google News and got accepted, this helped in everything however using an auto twitter and facebook feed was a fantastic way to get it going too
you do first directory submission and second you do social bookmarking and most important blog comment only on relevant and forum also
i wouldn't waste my time with directory submissions, only really Dmoz no one else, its a lot of time involved for very little outcome
Posting on forums and leaving comments on other related blogs with a link back to your website are both good ways.
create rss feed and ad Google readers and submit in other rss feed readers ,you can share new rss feed updation in google buzz ...
I would also start buying cheap banner, leave helpful reply in game forums, other game blog comment, and do article submissions with target keyword.
