Top 3 Blog Promotion Ideas

Top 3 Blog Promotion Ideas

1. Get T-Shirts printed with your URL on it

and give them out to friends and family. This can be a somewhat expensive blog promotion idea but it carries a lot of weight. The amount of people that will see your url on a t-shirt during the life of that t-shirt could be thousands and thousands. Just about everyone wears t-shirts so they are a easy giveaway and they need no talking into to get someone to accept your freebee. It is easy to get t-shirts printed online from many t-shirt business’s. If you live in a big city you can get them done at a t-shirt shop, the more you buy the cheaper the per unit cost. Humans are curious by nature and people will visit your url if they see it on a t-shirt.

2.Blog Promotion on Billboards and Bus stop benches

This can be a reach for some startup blogs budgets. But the old saying goes it takes money to make money holds true to this day. In every town in America their are billboards for rent that you can have your url and tag line on. These can be seen by millions if you get one by a busy highway in a big city. If you live in the country it might not be the best idea for you. Billboards are a very good way to advertise and are not to be overlooked it you are serious about promoting your blog. It can be a expensive way to advertise. But if you think big you will become big if you think small you will stay small.

3. Laptop Skins for Blog Promotion

I love this idea as it is the least expensive idea for today and it can pay off in dividends. Their are many Laptop skins business’s that you can design and have a laptop skin made for your computer. This is only a good idea if you use your laptop in coffeshops and airports and places where people are around. If you never leave your house with your laptop then revert back to Idea 1 or 2.

5 Important Steps to Building Links to Your Blog

Five  Important Steps to Building Links to Your Blog

This important blog promotion tip is known as “link building,” it is getting other Web sites to link to your site. It’s like one of your neighbors recommending a auto repairman or good restaurant; it carries a whole lot more weight than if a person just found  your blog site.

In today’s competitive world wide web, there is so much more to good search engine listings than simply optimizing your site for keywords.

Building links have become increasingly more important to the Search engines because they see links as an endorsement or Co sign of your site by other Blog sites.

The best way to build links is still doing it yourself,do not pay any website to build links for you and never pay for links. Here are the steps you should follow when building links:

1. Set a Goal and dont stop until you achieve it.

Link building is very time consuming, but it is very effective and easy to do, so you want to keep at it. Set a goal for the number of links you want as a way to stay motivated through the process. If your goal is 1000 links then dont stop until you achieve this goal. I repeat do not stop until you achieve your goal. There is no feeling in the world like reaching your goal.

2. Identify the type of blogs you want to link with.

Focus on blogs and sites that are related to your target market niche, we have all heard this since the start of seo techniques. But do not ignore blogs that are not related to your niche. A lot of the old so called standards for linking you will read about on the outdated posts do not apply today. Some of the algorithms used by google in the past are not used anymore. I know I have put them to the test and all my finding are that it does not matter anymore where the links come from. To achieve front page rankings in the past you needed a lot of links, this is no longer the case. The reason you need a lot of links for blog promotion is to establish many avenues for traffic sources to your blog. Links from blogs in your niche are important because if someone is interested in basketball and your site is about basketball then of course it would be a good thing to have your link on other basketball sites.

3. Target High Google Page Rank Sites

The higher a page ranks the better. One strategy is to try to link up with sites that have pages ranked as high as or higher than your own. This can and always has been the hardest part of link building. Most high PR sites dont give the little blogs and sites anything. They even turn off their follow comments part of their site as they get bigger. It is like they are too good for the old neighborhood since they moved on up. Some of the big PR sites think google penalizes them for linking to lower PR sites. Google does not confirm this , as they give no PR information out. I would say that Linking to high PR sites is definatley good for your blog but not a must. Dont lose

sleep over it if you are snubbed by a lot of high PR sites in your niche. You can get quality High PR links from sites like PR 8 Digg.com and PR 8 answers Yahoo for free and with no trouble at all and I doubt any site in your niche is a PR 8. Those 2 sites give you immediate follow links that are from PR 8 sites.

4. Make a list and Follow up

Make a list in excel or word of every blog or site you have tryed to link to. After about a week check their blog to see if they have added you, if they have not send them a follow up email asking them to link you again. Sometime persistance pays off, they might have overlooked your first email or it could of went to the spam folder do not assume that they just didnt link you. A follow up email is

a step that has paid off for me many times and you should use it. Do not get discouraged if some blog snubs you, just keep it moving and keep your eye on the prize. Like the old saying goes Rome was not built in a day.

5. Set a schedule for blog link building.

It will be a lot easier on you if you set a schedule for your link building campaign. If you do it for 1 hour a day at a set time , then stick to your schedule you will achieve your goal. Do not try to get 1000 links in a month this is not the way to do it, the slow grind is the best way and the natural way. Google will notice if you get 150 links overnight and it might penalize you for this as it seems fishy. Happy link building

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.
