5 Ways to Promote Your Blog Free

Myspace: recently launched a news service and sites wanting to be considered for this can submit their site here. Wow! Imagine the traffic you would get if you got lucky and were listed on Myspace. A site that has reached well over 100 million users and still going! 

I’ve looked through their FAQ and they do not have any requirements outlined that your blog must meet in order to be accepted.  So just click the link and submit keep your fingers crossed and maybe your server will crash from traffic.

Link Love: the question you must ask yourself is do you really care who links to you? Is there such a thing as a bad link? Is link exchange bad? Things to think about; Small Sites Grow, Links Equal Traffic, and it takes link love for Technorati, and Google to find you irresistible. 

Recluse: just stop it if you fit into this category.  If you are posting content to your blog daily and never linking or talking about other bloggers or websites you are a loner and you need to start interacting with other people.  Guess what? Interaction equals traffic! Who knows maybe you are an exceptional recluse jet eye blogger and you do not need the help of others. More insight here because I’m not a Hermit!

Yes, another very cheeky Digg Promotion. I’ve only had a few of these golden buttons on this blog since the start with little success. Now that you have read some of this article I’m now asking if you like it Digg it and if you don’t think about Digging it anyway - Thank you in Advance.

Link Popularity: To get you started my favorite 10 ways to improve your popularity; Link Contest, Link to Readers, Trade Articles, Increase Technorati Ranking, List your Site everywhere: business bureau, libraries, manufactures, retailers, friends, Submitt Articles (Digg)(Del.icio.us), Create a Squidoo page, Sponsor Reviews(Me) related products and services, and keep Trading Links, and last but not least try Hiring a PR company with your profits.

Titles: a secret to success in itself; short, impulsive and attention grabbing. The backbone of your site the headline then the article comes second.  If you do not have an optimal title then many of your readers will never get around to reading your article and the search engines will end up indexing you on page 1000 of the search.

    Good article. I also posted an article about how to get free traffic for your blog.

    I would add ‘Networking’ to your list - I know you have included link exchanges but I think networking goes even further; it encompasses really getting to know people and sharing ideas both new and old.

    Yep, I think you hit on something with the focus on headlines.

    I know that selecting the right niche and then beating your headlines into submission works.

    Hi Jason, great article. Thanks for taking the time to share this info with us, I think your comments on avoiding reclusion hit the target pretty well, and it’s something I’ve found myself doing on occasion. It seems easy for me to get obsessed with writing the next article or post and forget about the prerequisite marketing aspect.

    What got you into blogging in the first place?

    Warm Regards, -Matt

  15. Jason Neuman on May 25th, 2007

    Hi Matt

    Thank you - I got into blogging around a year ago when my wife and I wanted to promote some products. Then I started this site in February to blog about things I’m interested in and wife is still blogging about fashion & celebs on our first site.

    I thought that posting great articles regularly on your blog is enough. Do I really need to link my blog to other blogs in order to achieve more traffic? Great post, by the way!
