Blog Marketing Question? |
I have a new blog that I want to promote one specific web site鈥?. http://blog.iap-home.com/index.asp... ( New Blog ) www iap-home.com ( web site ) To better promote blog and give it high page rank, which in return will help promote my web site iap-home.com 鈥?do I put a link of my blog on my other web sites for example www.iapsales.com and www.iapcooling.com I have 15 web sites I could do this to it Or should I just submit it to other directories Do both! Back links are crucial to promoting your blog and getting it into the search engines and driving traffic. Directory submission is also important, especially regarding web 2.0 networking sites. Also make sure that you ping your blog every time you update it. Source(s): http://www.homebizhelper.com/583... Many make the mistake of believing that once they create a blog, people will immediately flock to it. There are millions out there so why would they visit your blog? Here are some ways you can promote your blog 1. Create great content 鈥?everything starts with great content. Think 'Linkbait" -- or writing about stuff that would be so great that people will want to link to you. It can be a news hook where you write about something that is contrary to what everyone else is saying; resource hook where you have the only information available or humor hook. 2. Update the content regularly 鈥?make your visitors come back again and again to your blog by providing daily updates (even multiple posts per day!) 3. Submit your blog to blog directories such as Blogcritics.org http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/10/...

BLOG鈥檢 http://www.sarthak.net/blogz/add.php... 5. Email other bloggers 鈥?pitch your post to other bloggers and hope that they will link or mention your blog 6. Use techniques to showcase your blog 鈥?examples include meme games such as the Daily Meme http://thedailymeme.com/ or carnivals http://blogcarnival.com/bc/ 7. You can try pay per click programs such as Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords or Yahoo Search Marketing http://searchmarketing.yahoo.c... 鈥?though the key is to carefully track your ROI and which keywords actually perform well 8. Make sure your blog is indexable by the search engines - and make sure that your titles have great keywords that your target audience are most likely to use 9. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News. http://www.prleap.com/sign_up.html...... http://i-newswire.com/ http://www.24-7pressrelease.com/...... http://www.pressbox.co.uk/cgi-bin/links.... http://www.pr.com/press-releases...... http://www.prfree.com/ http://www.clickpress.com http://www.theopenpress.com/ http://www.przoom.com/ http://www.prweb.com http://www.newswiretoday.com/ http://www.free-press-release.... 10. Submit articles with your blog posts. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings. Resources for Marketing Your Blogs and RSS Feeds http://www.powerhomebiz.com/onlinemarket... I tried to check out your blog, but didn't see any content on the site. If this isn't a tech prob then I say get to writing asap! I would also suggest networking with other bloggers, especially bloggers who write about similar topics. You can do this by emailing, as suggested, or even just reading their blogs and commenting on them to start a dialog. If you have a good blog, and make relevant comments many friendly bloggers will link back to you in their "blogroll". To add to the list of directories mentioned by imisidro check out http://www.today.com and http://technorati.com Also, don't forget about pinging. Most blogging software allow you to configure your blog to automatically to ping sites which automatically let them know you've updated your blog when you post something new without you having to do anything. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ping_blog... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/blogroll... |
