Well, as I said on the latest post, here I will tell you about 6 simple ways to promote blog. The most important and also interesting thing on these ways is that you need no skill or knowledge about web optimization. The basic skills you should have to apply these ways are only reading, typing and off course computing. So, a super duper newbie without programming skill, brand new blogger who don’t know about HTML code at all, and even the internet new users can do these simple ways in less than a minute when they completely finished this article.
Let’s get started. The first simple ways you can do to increase traffic is blogwalking. It’s very easy. You simply visit other blog, read what the blog owner write about, then leave a comment. You don’t have to write a long comment arguing the article, just write down your opinion according to the blog post clearly and briefly. Look, usually you must fill 3-4 boxes asking your nick, email address, blog address, and sometimes a question of spam protection. When your comment had been published, you’ll have a link to your own blog with the comment. This link is a sign for blog owner, and also the blog readers, that you’ve visited the blog. The chance is, both of blog owner and the readers will visit yours. Quite easy, huh?
The second way is, set your blog address as your email signature. So, when emailing someone (could be your friends, correspondent, or other relation) you could promote your blog as well. Don’t be aggressive. Simply write www.YourBlog.com below your name. It will attract people who received your email to visit the blog, see how is your blog look like and what you’ve done on it. But remember one thing, never send an email to someone you don’t have any relationship with. You may not send a mass email too. Yes, it can increase your traffic significantly, but that’s spam. A good blogger will never send a spam. Promote your blog with ethics and morals, so you’ll get both good response and respect.
The third, do a link exchange with other blogger. The more the link you have, the better the ranking your blog will get. Don’t hesitate to ask an exact anchor text matching to your blog keyword, it will be very helpful. Then, accept all link exchange offers that come to you. Make a special page named “Link Love”, “Friends”, “Links”, or something similar to place all links. I highly suggest you to place all links on a special page, not sidebar. Why? Just one simple reason, too many links on the main page will decrease your blog popularity, and ranking too. If you place it on a single page, search engine will only decrease that page’s popularity and ranking, not the blog.
Fourth, optimize the free classified ad site. Yes, submit your blog to many free classified ad sites. I mean, place an ad promoting your blog on every free classified ad site. What’s the benefit for you? First, you’ll get backlinks that help increase the blog popularity. Second, let’s hope someone interested to your ad and then click it to visit the blog. You can find so many free classified ad sites over the internet. Let Mr. Google searching those sites by typing “free ads” or something similar. But don’t submit too many ads in a day or your blog will be assumed as a spam then being blocked by both of the free ad site administrator and search engine. 10 ads/day is enough. Do it every day, and you’ll get 300 backlinks/month.
Just these 4 simple ways I have. Sorry to disappoint you, but I assure you that these ways are effective. For me, it’s effective enough. Plus, no money needed even a penny. Oops, I don’t say that you need no money to access internet. I said, you don’t have to pay to promote your blog using these simple ways. So, just try it and you’ll see the result.
Happy promoting…
