Simple tips to Promote blog ourself

9 Simple tips to Promote blog yourself

I am sharing some of the tips I observed in promoting Blog yourselves. Here you don’t need to ask some one to view your blog or no need to request anyone for anything. You just need to observe and use the resources around you.

Here are some of the sources I observed:

1. Include blog URL in signatures: This is a powerful media to drive the traffic again and again. Naturally you will send tons of mail from your inbox to friends, colleague and to many known and unknown people. So if you include URL in signature, it’s natural that people will click on your URL to know what that is. Here you need to attract them to visit again and again. For that you should have an interesting content on your blog. So just include it and receive the traffic.

One more important thing I forgot to say, People will forward your mail to many people in long run so your URL will travel around the web.

2. Place URL in IM’s: Do place your URL in IM’s like Gtalk, Yahoo messenger, MSN, AOL and etc….

3. Place it in Social Networking Profiles: Yes, do mention URL in profiles of social networking site like Orkut, Facebook, Hi5, MySpace and etc…

4. Submit to Search Engines: Don’t forget to submit your blog to search engines like Google, Yahoo, Live, Cuil and etc…

5. Submit to Social Bookmarking Sites: Promote your content on Social Bookmarking Sites like Digg.com, Reddit.com, StumbleUpon.com, Del.icio.us and etc…

6. Share links with other Bloggers: This is really a powerful trick to drive traffic in the initial stages of your blog. Do share links with Blogs under your niche.

7. Place feed headlines in your other Blogs: If you own multiple blogs, it’s always good to place feed headlines from Feedburner on your blogs. And also place a section called my blogs or my network to let visitors know that you own more that one blog.

8.  Comments on fellow blogs: This is my personal experience; Commenting on other blogs will work like anything. You will get lots of traffic starting from the owner of the blog where you commented to his visitors.

9. Join Blog directories: Now-a-days every Country or City has its own blogging communities maintaining a list of Bloggers from that region or language or etc… By joining in those will drive traffic from your own region or Country.
