Innovative Ways to Promote Your Blog

Innovative Ways to Promote Your Blog

1. Offer to Write Guest Blog Posts

Many blog owners are actively looking for guest bloggers. You can research
blogs in a directory like Technorati or go to Blogger Linkup that can
connect you with blogs looking for a guest blogger.

2. Blog Communities

Examples of Blog Communities that you can submit your blog to include
MyBlogLog, Blogged, BlogCatalog and NetworkedBlogs. The search engines will
index your blog faster because these blog communities have great search
engine ranking.

3. Blog Directories

Blog Directories are great places to submit your blog to. The advantage of
this is that more people will find you since the blogs are listed by
category. Technorati is a great blog directory, but you can find more doing
a search in Google.

4. Submit to Document Sharing Sites

Document sharing sites are often totally overlooked by the small and home
business owner. Examples are Scribd, Issuu or Docshare, each with great
search engine ranking. You will have to make your article into a PDF
document for this.

5. Feed Directories

You should also submit your blog's RSS feed to Feed Directories. Here are
some good free ones: Feedage, Feedraider, GoldenFeeds, BlogDigger,
RssMountain, RssMicro.com, RssMotron.com, Technorati.com and IceRocket.

After you submit your feed once, these directories should keep track of your
new posts, and will index them.

6. Pinging Sites

Because pinging your site is very important if you want the search engines
to index you and give you those coveted top positions, you need to do it
every time you update your blog. By default, WordPress pings your blog to
one pinging site every time you update. This can work against you as it
pings after you edit as well, making it appear you are pinging
unnecessarily. I found a great plugin that can stop this from happening. You
can set it to ping every time you update your blog or to ping once every
fifteen minutes, thereby safeguarding you from getting blocked by search
engines for pinging too often.

7. Social Media Sites

If you sign up for a social media site such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+
and YouTube, use your blog name as your username. This will also help your
blog get indexed quickly.

Share your blog posts on your social media sites to invite comments and
retweets which will help your search engine ranking. You can make this
process automatic through services such as Onlywire or Scoop.it if you
curate as well.

8. Social Bookmarking Sites

Social bookmarking sites such as StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit and Delicious can
also help to give you more traffic back to your website. Onlywire also
automates this process.

9. Blog Broadcasts

Add your blog links to your autoresponder and invite your subscribers to
comment on them.

10. Offer to write for Ezines and Associations

You can offer to write for ezines and associations in your niche. You can
also use the search engines for this.

Where can QR Codes be placed?

Where can QR Codes be placed? The answer to this is almost anywhere! QR Code printing can be done in newspapers, magazines, brochures, leaflets and on business cards. Further to this they can be put on product packaging or labels, or on billboards or even walls. You could even tattoo a QR Code on your body - now that would be an interesting take on giving a girl/guy your number in a bar! You can use QR Codes on a website but they should not generally be used as a substitute for an old-fashioned hyperlink because obviously the user is already online and doesn't really want to fiddle around with their phone only to find a website they could have just clicked through to in half the time. If you have any questions or comments please contact me.

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

Get More Visitors to Take an action When visiting your Website

When you start out in the blogosphere, there are two words that you hear over and over again. 1. Content - Because let's face it, if you're not writing anything, your blog is going to be pretty lonesome 2. Traffic - The rationale being that if no one is visiting your content, you can't do much, including make money I'd like to toss something out there though that not a lot of people seem to talk about, and that's quality in your content and in your traffic. You see, if you are blogging for any particular reason, whether it's to build your brand or to fill your wallet, you need to build a community of people who will actually support your content, click on your affiliate links, and buy your very first e-book. Right? The two modes of blogging Now, there are two ways that people strive for that goal. The more predominant way is to play the blogging game as if you were a commercial fisherman.
