HOW TO PROMOTE YOUR BLOG!

HERE ARE SOME TIPS
1.After creating and posting your blog, you need to keep an update your online journal or diary because if someone visits your blog and discovers that the last post was four weeks ago, they will probably be disappointed.

2.Keep your readers interested and coming back for more everyday by updating your writing, participate in online communities, understand your readers and include keywords. Attracting traffic to a blog or a web site is challenging enough.

3.When you start to see visitors coming to read your blog, be sure that they feel comfortable to stick around and you must give your readers a reason to visit your site.

4. Here are the tips on promoting your blog. A quality Content- Interesting content will keep your readership returning. Update your blog regularly. Googlebot, which is Google's web-crawling robot, loves content. The more you update your blog, the more frequent the search engine spiders will return to it.

5.Take part in forums that are related to blog- Ask other bloggers for their opinion on your blog and take their suggestions to heart.

6.Publish an RSS/Atom/XML feed- If you're using Blogger, you can turn on RSS feed by clicking on settings in your dashboard and then clicking on site feed and make sure that your settings are set to yes.

7.Carefully choose your subject titles- taking into consideration what other internet users may be searching for. Use keywords in your title. I suggest subscribing to Word Tracker. Their report of the most popular searches is published each Tuesday and distributed to over 30,000 subscribers. Technorati.com is a blog search engine that also lists the top search words. The more targeted your keywords are, the greater your return in search engines will be.

8.Involve yourself in commenting on other blogs- You can gain a loyal readership just by offering feedback to your fellow bloggers. The comment feature allows you to add a link back to your blog as well.

9.Be sure to include your blog address in forum signatures and in your email signature.

10.Submit your blog to directories- Submit your bloggs url to Technorati, Daypop, Blogdex and Popdex.

12.Write articles- Include a resource box in your article and submit it to article directories such as http://iSnare.com

13.If you're using blogging software such as Blogger, there is an option to notify the central blog update services (such as http://weblogs.com) whenever you've made a new entry to your blog. Make sure that this option is turned on! In blogger, click on publish in your dashboard and make sure that your settings are set to yes under notify weblogs. Alternatively, you can go to http://ping-o-matic.com and send out a ping each time you update your blog. This lets everyone know that you've just updated your blog.

14.Link to other blogs- Use services like blog rolling, which is similar to linking. Blog rolling allows you to maintain an updated list of your favorite blogs. But, don't build a long blog roll of sites that you have no intention of returning to. There is nothing more annoying then visiting a blog that has a humongous blog roll.

15.If you want to make your blog successful then you must consider what your reader wants. Because there are thousands of blogs available for readers online. A blog is an easy and instant way to share your thoughts and feelings with readers. It is easy to build readership to your blog when you are ready to share your writing with others.

16.You need to give your readers a reason to keep reading if you want your blog creation to become a success because readers do not want to read anything which is boring and uninteresting. Also allow your visitors to post comments on your articles. Keep your blog interactive and fresh and soon you will drive increased free traffic to your website.
