What that means is millions of nosy people want to know what the latest news is on the Tiger drama. Well your blog isn’t about Tiger you say. Hmmm this blog isn’t about Tiger either but I am writing about it just to show you how you can take something sensational that happens and add it to your blog. This blog post will show up in the long keyword tails and who knows where else it might land. When a seasoned web surfer search’s in google for a term there is a little tab in the corner that says options. I use it everyday for my other blogs that I own. It tracks the latest posts for any search term you enter in google search. When I hit submit this blog post will become the latest news story for Tiger. Sure some people will come to this blog and be disappointed that I am not posting any juicy Tiger news. But I really don’t care I just got a new unique visitor to my site. And a potential future reader if they own a blog and see that I am a blog promotion guru. Some of you might think that is underhanded blog promotion or bait and switch. Well it might be, but to succeed you need to take the by any means necessary attitude to swim with the sharks in the fight for new blog readers.


If you go to yahoo.com there is a web pulse that is updated constantly telling you what the top search terms are at that moment on yahoo. This is another good blog promotion tool to use especially if you blog about celebrities or current events. It is a must that you are up to the minute on celebrity news if you have a celebrity news blog. Most of the hot searches are going to be on celebrity news. When it gets close to the holidays the hot searches for christmas will be christmas gifts with long tails keywords. If you have a blog and you sell stuff you need to write posts with long keywords. A example would be instead of Christmas gifts for dad, you might change the title to Christmas gifts for dads that have everything. This subtle change could get your blog post on the front page of google for that search term. Are you confused yet ? Tiger Woods would probaly come to my blog for blog promotion tips if he wrote his own blog. Tiger Woods blogs about his girlfriends on this secret blog. The last two sentences I just wrote will get crawled by the google robots and get indexed probaly at the top page of google for the those search terms. This is an advance blog promotion tip that should not be over looked and you should use on a regular basis. Tiger Woods might be the popular search term of the moment but next week something else is going to take over that top spot. If you have a certain niche that you only write about, you need to figure out how you can incorporate whats popular into your latest blog posts if you want to get that extra blog promotion.

Quote of the Day :  By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day.

Using Twitter for Blog Promotion

1. Submit your articles to article directories and ez articles. A very good way to get back links and to drive traffic if done properly. A good article written today can bring traffic to your blog years from now from these article sites.

2. Submit your blog to some large free directories and search engines. Dont overdue the directories as not many people use them anymore,very outdated method of blog promotion but it can bring some traffic. You will see authors plug directories as being so important in blog promotion. But that was years ago, it is only important now to submit to the huge directories. PR 5 and above

3. Submit your site to free website review sites. Before you do this make sure your site is ready for a review, make sure you have at least 3 weeks worth of content.

4. Write related articles on WikiPedia with your blog url in it. I am guilty of not doing this very often, however it can lead to a traffic increase. But most of wikipedia is no follow, and I am anti no follow sites as they do not give anything in return for your contribution.

5. Start a myspace page for your blog.and post some of your articles in your blog on myspace. Myspace is a follow site for Blog entries which is a good thing for page rank.

6. Start a facebook page for your blog. Post links to your blog and promote your blog thru your friends pages. It can be a tedious task at times to visit all these social networking sites but it is not to be overlooked if you want to cover all angles in blog promotion.

7. Start a twitter page for your blog. This is a must for this year as twitter is the new leader in social networking sites, love it or hate it, you need to do it. Then set your blog up with a twitter plugin that tweets all your articles and posts them straight to twitter. And every now and then get on twitter to make some real human tweets to show that you are a real person and not just a plugin robot person. Those who use twitter like real human interaction so make sure you are making some real tweets as well.

8. Start a yahoo answers account to answer questions related to your niche, be sure to leave your link in the resource box. I have written about this before in previous posts. Yahoo Answers is a follow site and a PR 8 site which gives excellent back links. When you have nothing to blog about put in work on this site answering every question that is even remotely close to your niche with your blog as the answer.

9. Join Forums related to your niche if you can find them, if not create one for your niche and post the link to it everywhere. Forums are a great way to get people interested in your blog, this is a time consuming task but if you want to be successful make time for it or get a partner to help you. Which leads to my last blog promotion tip. PHFGZAKE2D8V

10. Get a partner to help you with your blog. One person cannot do the work of 2 people. With a partner you have just doubled your blog promotion capabilities. Find someone you admire for there work ethic and ask them would they be interested in being a part of your blogging venture. If you are blogging for fun then just keep on doing it by yourself, but if you are blogging for profit then a partner is the way to go. And one word of personal advice is do not let your partner be a member of your family. The old saying is true never mix family and business together. I made this mistake once and it caused me whole lot of grief that could of been avoided if I would not of went into business with my family member.

Blog promotion is like  a good vegetable soup recipe , it contains many ingredients to get it just right . One of the ingredients to successful blog promotion is networking. All accomplished bloggers are connected to other successful bloggers this is a fact that can sometimes be verified by the same advertising network they are in or the links backs to each others site. Networking with other bloggers is usually overlooked by the startup bloggers and some of the know it all bloggers. You need to make a point to reach out to other bloggers either thru comments on their blogs or thru emails and forums. Connect constantly to build your blog up to the level that will make it worthwhile to keep writing.

Networking with other bloggers can provide you a path to some of there readers and maybe a link on there blog. A good friend who is a blogger will have no problem mentioning your blog in one of there posts and you should do the same back but getting a stranger to do this is no easy task. Compliment a blog writer if you enjoyed his or her article it will go a long way towards establishing a new relationship. Be sincere in wanting to network with other bloggers dont go at it with a bad attitude. Bloggers come in many shapes and sizes it is a mosh pit of ranters and professionals with many in betweens. You need to juggle all the different types of bloggers out there in the blog world to achieve networking greatness. A few good loyal blogging friends is better than zero blogging friends. I am the type of person that this is a hard task for me as I can be withdrawn and I am quick to anger, but my better half is really good at this aspect of business relationships and she sometimes helps me in this area. When you are looking for blog to network with explore many blogs that write about subjects in your niche as well as blogs that are subjects that interest you. Visit blogs often that you like and comment often or they will not know you have visited. The blog writer will notice after a period of time that you are a loyal visitor and that is the perfect time to start your networking. Ask for a link or ask for them to write a post about your blog and you will do the same back for them. It might work it might not it just depends on the blogger you approach. Like I said earlier a few blogger friends are better than zero. Keep at it until you get your first blogger friend after that it will get easier and easier as you build your network of blogger buddies.

Im sure I will have some who disagree with me but this is a blog promotion site and I dont want to steer you wrong with a bunch of fluff and B.S. like some of the bigger sites will. First and foremost do not ever pay someone to promote your site thru Youtube this is a guaranteed scam.

It wouldn’t be profitable for the business that claims it can because the time and effort would outweigh their profit.Steer clear of these scams. But if you are a avid Youtube visitor like I am, I use Youtube videos on some of my other sites there is one fast way to drive traffic to your site using Youtube. It is leaving a comment on any video page that you watch.

The comment will not create a link back but it can lead to visitors and usually the person who posted the video will come for a visit as well, because they always come back to check their video comments out. If your niche is celebrity news then search for celebrity news videos and be specific and search only for today. Videos will show up about celebrity news and some will show up not related to your search , you will have to sift thru these videos.

If your site is called celebritynewsbuzz  then leave a comment on the site that says we used your video on our site celebritynewsbuzz it is on the front page. If you use videos in your blog then post the Youtube video you have found on your blog, readers love videos.

If you dont post videos then leave the comment we are thinking about using your video on our site celebritynewsbuzz. You can not leave a .com at the end of your comment as it will be filtered out by youtube. And if your site is not a .com then you are out of luck because 99% of the people who are nosy and the video poster will type in celebritynewsbuzz.com.

The only other way you can get traffic from Youtube is to make your own videos and post them up on Youtube , but once again this is a lot of trouble and you dont want to do this as very few will leave Youtube to check out your site. Posting comments is the way to go , I know I do it everyday for my site that I use videos on.

Using Twitter to Promote your Blog

1. Sending Blog Posts Straight to Twitter

I use a wordpress plugin called twittertools on all my other Blog sites to post straight to twitter and to put a post on twitter every time I publish a article. I was a genuine twitter hater at first but my partner is a twitter junkie and she has shown me the error of my ways. Twitter is a great way to get unique visitors to visit your blog.

2. Add Follow me on Twitter badges

Twitter is in its early stages and it is a good time now to get a lot of followers. Every follower is a potential everyday reader for your blog. Users of Twitter do not follow everyone, they pick and choose who they follow. Twitter has grown and morphed into a “whoever has the most followers has the power” type of site. Gaining a lot of followers is the key to using twitter to its full potential. To accomplish this I would add twitter follow me badges on every blog page and post you make.

3. Comment on other Twitter users Posts

Make your twitter followers believe whatever they are tweeting about interests you. People love to have their ego stroked and commenting positively about other tweets is a good start to gaining positive responses on your own tweets.

4. Re Tweet your followers tweets

This is very important point I must emphasize, always Re Tweet your followers tweets. This is what everyone on twitter wants to happen to their tweets. Re tweeting someone else’s post shows you are interested in what they have to say and helps them gain new followers. The old saying one hand washes the other will then begin to happen for your own blog posts your followers that you have retweeted will start re tweeting your tweets which in turn will lead to more followers for you.

If you have followers that never re tweet your posts send them a personal message asking them to re tweet your posts and you will do the same for them. This form of direct communication should be used sparingly as I presume in the future twitter will crack down on this and it will result in a ban. But for now the wild wild twitter mania is wide open so use it for your benefit.

5. Ask your followers to critique your blog posts

Ask your twitter followers to critique your current blog post. Post a link to your new blog post and ask your readers to look over your grammar or your overall article.  Make a list for your blog, for instance if your blog is about movie lovers, you would make the list the top 100 horror movies of all time and ask your followers to look over the list and see if there are any good movies that you have left off the list. This will lead to instant traffic to your blog by your followers and also if you ask them to re tweet it for you it could lead to a spike in traffic in one day. I hated to give that secret away but I have decided that I will not hold back any blog promotion tips on this blog. You can take that one and run with it.

Asking followers for input should be used sparingly, over use will put off your followers your responses will drop off.

If you love super successful Zappos to order your shoes from write them a letter and tell them so. Do not be a phony and write to every publisher out there as they will see right thru it especially if you havent ordered something from the business you are writing about. If you write a sincere quality testimonal there is a good chance they may publish it with a link back to your blog. Be very specific about what you like about the particular service or business you are writing about.

Every business owner loves to see good articles written about there business or service and more time than not they will reward you with a back link. If you’ve written a review of the product/service on your blog and it is a good review send them a email and let them know as they might want to use it as a plug for their business or service. I don’t recommend you do this nonstop but if you can get some of these feathers in your hat it will go a long way in your quest for that top spot in the page rankings.

If nobody knows your blog exists, who is going to read it?

There are a numerous things you can do to get readers to your blog. Do them consistently while you’re writing good, interesting content and your readership might grow.

You will want to bring your blog to the attention of people who might be interested without making it clear that’s all you want to do so find places these people hang out, and get the word out. Let’s say your blog is about rating movies. You need to frequent forums and places that other people who rate movies go to and post comments and engage in the topic.

Make some blog posts about the topic or reply to some other posts and include a link to your blog. This isn’t allowed on every forum, so know the rules,but never support a forum that doesnt allow signature links or any links , it is a waste of your time. Also always view page source if it is a no follow site or forum dont waste your time going there, I am all for boycotting these type of sites that want your readership but give nothing in return.

Another top way to get blog readers is by writing articles about your topic and submitting them to article directories with a link back to your site. There are endless places you can publish your articles and blog posts that will drive traffic to your blog. You have to put in work to reach your traffic goal.

Here are some reasons to start blogging right now

Search Engines Love Blogs: The major search engines usually give higher page rankings to blogs that post frequently. When you post to your blog daily your content is constantly growing ,thus adding more pages for the search engines to index which is a good thing and the search engines will reward you for it.

Building a Audience: A good blog can attract many new readers. Readers who like what you have to say will visit your blog more frequently and might link your blog and or tell others about your blog.

You can Become Somebody if you have a Blog:

Starting a blog is one of the fastest and easiest ways to showcase your knowledge in your subject of choice. When you share valuable tips,news and resources you will keep your readers interest while building a fan base that keeps them coming back for more.

Republish your Blog Content:

It doesn’t take long to build up a great amount of blog content. You can republish your posts into articles, ebooks, books and news releases. Many bloggers have found ebook success by building a loyal following online and then writing a ebook and selling it to there loyal readers for a profit.

Why do you write new content? Because you want to attract a lot more readers to your site or blog, and secondly, because you probaly want to get some more links to your website.

Creating new content simply to obtain links cuts both ways. This tactic can work sometimes;but sometimes it can totally fail. Some will appreciate your content,very few people will link. Content created for search engine optimization purposes only can often seem artificial and may not bring you a link you were looking for. Yes, it can help the website ranking for a while but it won’t be a long lasting success in my experience.

Adding new content just because you have to and not because you want to build a quality site is the downfall of most startup blogs and websites.

A post with some good content will favor the search engine rankings while bad content will hurt it.

The big secret is to write to attract more readers and not links. More readers, more chances to get links. Write quality content for your visitors and you’ll be rewarded. Many will return and some will link.
