Now since you have understood how to write content for your blog and have got some blog posting tips, you should know that you need to let others know about your blog post.
There are some ethical methods which can be used to buzz your blog post.
- Search Engines – Search engines are the best, free and reliable source of potential traffic. Search engine visitors trends to make money for your blog and you should make sure that your blog is well indexed by search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. For this you should ping these search engines. Even without pinging, your blog posts will be indexed once you have your blog being updated regularly.
- Social Networking Sites – Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Digg are good sources of traffic. If you post gets on the front page of Digg, you will receive massive traffic. I doubt the quality of traffic from sites like Digg, but still you can try doing it. I am not advising you to Digg your own post, because I guess its not correct to do that.
- News letters – If you plan to have a subscription system, then you can send news letters about your post or use feedburner to automatically send email updates. Your should try to increase your number of subscribers and should know that you can make money from your newsletter or RSS feeds subscribers.
- Commenting on Similar Topic Posts – Once you have your post published, search for posts which are related to the post you have done and comment on those posts with the URL to your post. This could help that blog readers to come to your blog and even could turn out to be your loyal reader. Commenting on other blogs are one of the best method of getting some traffic, but make sure that you comment in an impressive way rather than annoying others.
- Interlinking your Posts – I would suggest to use plugins for related posts and link to your own posts as you might have noticed that in this post I have linked to relevant pages. This helps in increasing page views, reduces bounce rates, increase the time spent by a visitor on your blog which is very important for your blog.
Hope these information are useful for your blogging career. Marketing your blog post is as important as writing killer contents, please do not ignore this.
