Attract Blog Readers

Using Twitter to Promote your Blog

Twitter Maddness is everywhere below I have put together the top 4 ways to use twitter to promote your blog.

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.

Writing Testimonials is a overlooked way to create blog backlinks

A often overlooked way to create quality backlinks is to write testimonials for services and software that you use.

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 ? How to get Blog Readers

Many new bloggers start blogging and assume their blog will have readers. They don’t promote their blog,and might pay for a few adsense ads and assume people will actually come to their blog and become loyal readers.

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.

Write good Content and the search engines will reward you

“Content is King” – you have probably heard this saying with regards to search engine optimization. Your website content is a representation of your business and your personality. Your content on your blog determines whether you’ll get more traffic and links and.

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.
