Well the good news!
But the bad news is that with the thousands of new blogs churn every day, what hope is there for a reader interested in your topic to reach you. You’ve written many brilliant masterpieces, but how do you let others know that (think of most poets and artists who are not recognized because they are poor and not extend themselves to share with others).
In this article we will not get into details about the quality of your content, and assumes that you are clean copy written. Good copy, informative, entertaining and exciting (Remember to include your keyword in the body content and get the labels / tags).
There are several ways to promote your blog and reach out to the millions out there. The strategies below will not only help you get more traffic to your blog, but also get a higher ranking for your blog, and corporate site (if you have one).
Deep-Linking
Start a corporate blog for your employees, customers, suppliers, employees and investors. The benefits are many, as seen in the trend where many corporate blogs are doing very well in building brand loyalty, customer loyalty and drive business through existing customers.
Also starting a blog of your specific subject expertise. To give you an example of an SEO Expert Services Company, is starting a blog about SEO tips, advice and marketing to attract professionals, students, seo, internet marketing professionals, readers and businessman.
Now comes the easy part; relevant links deep links between your corporate web pages, blog posts and go corporate blog posts. Your website, corporate blog and the subject are treated as separate sites, many blog search engines go, so do not hesitate to use your content for link building purposes.
Each blog post is a potential for another link to your corporate website to build. But do not overdo it. Search engines do not penalize a site for too many links (unless the site is just a whole lot left for the pure purpose of linking agriculture, and try to trick search engines to give irrelevant results), but was a big turn off for your readers who just want to enjoy the story and not much you care for her brains strategies to dominate the Internet.
Cross-linking
It is easy to create links if you’re the master of your website and blogs, but how we get other websites / blogs to provide the same quality links back to your blog.
As in the real world when you build a new contact, would you approach that person, ask yourself this person informed of the value you offer, and maintaining a good relationship with that person. In the blog world, building links is no different.
1. Approach websites that content / target audience similar to your blogs and offer extra value to their readers, or better still write a good review on a number of intelligent services / products to offer. Send a nice e-mail noted the same with a link back to your blog. Online marketers, including gathering evidence, so there is big chance that they link back to your blog.
2. Approach other bloggers who command high loyalty. Most of the time when a professional approach, a good throw and a value proposition, most bloggers will not mind writing a small study and the link to your blog.
After all these bloggers to create content everyday, so give them a helping hand. Many bloggers argue in their semi-promotional posts, and bloggers define their tastes, preferences, likes and dislikes on all brands of time. So why not get on the bandwagon.
Another way is to intelligently comment on the bloggers to post something nice to say about leaving the blogger, and give a little link to your blog to explain in detail. Usually leave the blogger a good comment and not delete. I do not personally use this method, but as they say, in this case, flattery can get you what you want.
3. Some SEO experts and bloggers have good relationships with other fellow bloggers. A good seo expert must be able to some of these bloggers get to a good review and a link to your blog / website writing. It will drive traffic to your website and your link building campaign to add.
Create an RSS feed
Most blog software like Blogger users to create an automated RSS feed. If you notice an RSS feed is a very simple page, no large format, no pictures and video.
RSS also know as “Real Simple Syndication” is a mechanism used to distribute content without depending on the browser or e-mail client. Users subscribe to RSS feeds the latest updates (with a small short heads) on their favorite websites / blogs on the Internet in one place.
In your case, your blog posts are part of the content that can be sold to news / content feeds. Once your RSS feed is published, you can feed many of the feed and your content aggregators / blog post over their network of users. You can use this link http://www. rss specifications. com / rss-submission. htm to your blog many feeds.
Submit Article Sites
Article sites are a great way to distribute your content on many sites without the fear of landing in the soup for duplicate content. Additionally you build credibility as an expert in your domain, quality links and traffic to your blog.
By submitting your blog posts to article submission sites with a high page rank, you are basically Syndicating same content on different channels, getting links and traffic. Now that is a good deal!
A warning, not only submit your article to 1000 places, rather wise and work with a few major article sites. In this way it is easy for a good relationship with these sites and their audience to build, because they feel that you are not living your article on any website in the world plastered.
Also easy to keep the momentum up, otherwise the submission of each blog post to 1000 sites would be time consuming.
Social Use your blog
