    Hi

    Here are few tips that how can we promote our site through blogs. I got that from about. and want to share you also

    How to promote your Blog

    1. Write Well and Write Often
    Frequently updating your blog with useful content is the first step to building your blog's audience. The content you write is what will keep readers coming back for more. Make sure you have something meaningful to say to them and say it often to maintain their interest and keep them loyal.
    2. Submit Your Blog to Search Engines
    Get on the radar screen for the popular search engines such as Google and Yahoo! by submitting your blog's URL to them. Most search engines provide a 'Submit' link (or something similar) to notify the search engine of your new blog, so those search engines will crawl it and include your pages in their results.
    3. Use and Update Your Blogroll
    By adding links to sites you like in your blogroll, the owners of those blogs will find your blog and will be likely to add a reciprocal link in their blogrolls. It's an easy way to get the link to your blog in front of many readers on other blogs.
    4. Harness the Power of Comments
    Commenting is a simple and essential tool to increase your blog's traffic. First, respond to comments left on your blog to show your readers that you value their opinions and draw them into a two-way conversation. This will increase reader loyalty.
    5. Syndicate Your Blog's Content with an RSS Feed
    Setting up an RSS feed button on your blog makes it easy for your loyal readers to not just read your blog but also know when you publish new content.
    6. Use Links and Trackbacks
    Links are one of the most powerful parts of your blog. Not only are links noticed by search engines, but they also act as a tap on the shoulder to other bloggers who can easily identify who is linking to their sites. Linking helps to get you noticed by other bloggers who are likely to investigate the sites that are linking to them. This may lead them to become new readers of your blog or to add links to your blog from theirs.
    7. Tag Your Posts
    It takes a few extra seconds to add tags to each of your blog posts, but it's worth the time in terms of the additional traffic tags can drive to your blog. Tags (like links) are easily noticed by search engines.
    8. Submit Your Posts to Social Bookmarking Sites
    9. Remember Search Engine Optimization
    When you write your blog posts and pages, remember to optimize your pages for search engines to find them. Include relevant keywords and links but don't overload your posts with too many relevant keywords or completely irrelevant keywords. Doing so can be considered spamming and could have negative results such as your blog being removed from Google's search entirely.
    10. Don't Forget Images
    Images don't just make your blog look pretty, they also help people find you in search engine listings.
    11. Consider Guest Blogging
    Guest blogging can be done when you write a guest post on another blogger's blog or when another blogger writes a guest post on your blog.
    12. Join Forums, Web Rings or Online Groups
    Find online forums, web rings, groups or social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn where you can share ideas and ask questions of like-minded individuals.
    13. Promote Outside Your Blog
    Promoting your blog shouldn't stop when you step outside the blogosphere. Add your blog's URL to your email signature and business cards. Talk about it in offline conversations. It's important to get your name and your blog's URL noticed offline, too.
    14. Nominate Yourself and Other Blogs for Blog Awards
    There are a number of blog awards given out throughout the year. Nominating yourself and other blogs and bloggers can draw attention to your blog and drive traffic to it.
    15. Don't Be Shy
    The most important part of the blogosphere is its community and much of your success as a blogger will be tied to your willingness to network with that community. Don't be afraid to ask questions, join conversations or just say hi and introduce yourself. Don't sit back and hope the online world will find you. Speak out and get yourself noticed.

    the images comment is true, a few of sites get a ton of traffic from "google images" from witch analytics show that the traffic then leads to other pages of the site

    :)

    Thank you for your tips.

    One more thing to add to the list, add blog to various blog directories.

    I have two blogs other than my "main" site and I want to use them to help promote my main site. Question I am grappling with is how much to link back to my main site in blog posts and elsewhere. On the one hand as a visitor to a blog I would not want to simply see link after link back to the main site while I can certainly use the links, particularly deep links to products. I don't want to be a blog that just has pictures of pretty girls in their bras and panties but I am unclear how much content to add as this is a "secondary" blog.

    Richromo, you can add a part of your main site's content... or maybe you could put only the first part of text, and then make a link saying „complete article on the www.xxxx.com“.

    to add up, Anticipate upcoming big events because Google ad sense is all about traffic. Watch TV and try to predict which upcoming shows will have mass media appeal.
