I started up my site couple weeks back and I feel right now that I am very isolated by other blogs. I have been submitting my site to blog directories. What I was wondering was what do most people do? What does it mean to feed your posts? and How do you do it? Also, how do you build up your popularity with blogs that have similar content? Also, does anyone have any helpful links?
yah I think that is a popular one I typed in Ping a bong in google and found a couple sites that do the same thing. I think ping is basically to let the site know that you have new information on your blog correct me if im wrong?
can u guys pls give a detailed info abt blog promotion... even i am new to blogging.. but m really interested in it
make sure the content is updated regularly, give interesting tips and tricks to the readers so they come back again and spread a word for ur blog
its very hard to get people to find your blog as there are SO many out there. Gaining traffic is a slow process.
What is your niche ? What do you mean by ''isolated by other blogs '' ? Do you mean that they do not comment on your site ? If yes, give them some time. Comment on theirs and they will do on yours too.
You need patience. If your blog has valuable content for it's visitors in time you should experience an increasing number of visits and comments and so on...
Seo it, buy links, get free links, submit to everything, comment on other blogs... Enough ideas? p.l.u.r.
Advertise on other blogs....yes paid advertisement... be regular commentator of some blog who reward their top commentators with sitewide links participate on the discussions in other blogs via commenting there and posting a sequel to their posts...be involved in community discussion...not working for me... encourage linking by linking to other's blog get some feed readers and some real feed readers..who would visit each post u make..but normally people don't subscribe to feeds make friends with same interest as your site in stumbleupon and post your articles each post to stumbleupon..it is working for me...check d blog at sig. run contests for your blog readers...visit and comment in blogs of those people who visit u using mybloglog recent visitors improve alexa technorati ranks and subscribers of blog too...this has nothing to do with traffic but people would pay u more at reviewme TLA for this purpose blog directory..general directory(take a big submission package from some thread in service section u get many backlinks)..improve pagerank and get many search engine traffic..do a bit of SEO
Apart from posting regularly, you could submit to blog directories, free web directories, comment on other relevant blogs, find a forum based on your niche and place a sig link to your blog.
