Hi guys People with blogs and making big earnings from their sites, how do they promote it? Is it the same link building strategy? directories submissions, 3 way linking, tagging? Let us know your thoughts and ideas... Eric
use technorati or use reddit you get a huge audience for your website for like 10 minutes even if the link isnt so good if your site is really good.. it will be on the front page its not "that" effective though at least i dont think so you should still give it a try
I honestly think the best advice is to participate in online communities - whether it is forums, newsgroups, irc channels, blog commenting, etc. Don't spam, but when an opportunity arises to show your blog off, people will go to visit it. Don't forget about pinging services and social bookmarking, and update your blog at least once a day if you can. I've ignored my blog recently, but I've done absolutely no promotion and I've picked up a small user community already for what was really meant to be a note taking utility for myself. It's nothing I would make any money off of, but at the same time it has been a fairly interesting venture. You'd be surprised - I've picked up backlinks from sources I never would have thought I would - I even got one from news.com for a small article I wrote about radioactive snails?!? Online participation is something you probably do anyways - I mean you are here at a forum right now, so just try to diversify a little. Search for blogs that have similar subject matter and comment. Search for mentions of your own site in other blogs and make comments. It's not always about picking up a backlink - it's about making other people aware that you are a valuable member of the community at large. Digg, Reddit, etc. can provide bursts, but I would refrain from doing nothing but self promotion in those communities. If you're going to promote yourself, take some time promoting others and it'll help you learn what kind of response you will get with various methods of promoting your own site/blog and what kind of content those communities respond best to. There's also baiting with humor, controversy, etc. And of course providing resources - a download or online utility of some sort that can get people to link to your site and come back to it repeatedly. The list goes on, but promoting a blog isn't much different than promoting other kinds of sites - although there are more avenues open to blogs - such as pinging, technoratti, places like blog explosion, bloglines, blogads, and all that other stuff.
1. original content 2. commenting other blogs with similar content (would get you back links that way) 3. get some good PR links to get yourself indexed. (mentol)
Here are some of the ways which I used to generate traffic 1.Technorati 2.Social Bookmarking 3.RSS Feeds 4.Forums 5.Submitting to Blog Directories 6.Ezines Directories 7.Links to other blog with same niche 8.Trackback/Pingback 9.Comments in other blogs You can visit my homepage to know about it. I believe that by applying a few of these strategies. You will see the results!
The most important is the content!! And you should also try to submit your posts to sociable bookmarking sites,you'll get a lot of traffic from them.
Submit your blog to blog directories...Update your blog for new contents...try to use social bookmarking as they will give you traffic...improve your link popularity by linking with relevant blogs or sites(if possible)...use technorati and ping them back once you update your blog for new contents...
Commenting on other blogs and eventually befriending the owners works wonders. Viewing blogging as a social network certainly helps too!
yes you can send your blog into some blog directories.. you can also join some forums with your sig... link dump submissions can also help i guess....
