Leaving a comment is the best promotion ways:
- Leave a comment on every blog you’ve visited, this is one effective ways to promote your blog.
- Make positive comment on other’s blog.
- Fill in guestbook, online chat or tag board if it is available.
- Give a simple and suits compliment to blog author, don’t to excessive in giving complimentary, there somebody accept compliment as humiliation.
- Give a weight comment according to the topic.
- Don’t do spam word, like “Visit to my blog”, “hey, Come to my brand new blog”. This is not good ways to promote your blog, blog owner which is you leave a comment will be annoyed about it.
Join Mailing List and Forum:
- This will build strong relationship with other bloggers.
- Find the suitable and match your blog’s topic with the forum’s topic.
- Try to answer all questions on forum, and give nice comment on it. Once again, don’t do spam.
Banner Exchange
For new blogger:
- Find well known blog that has high rank, besides leaving a track, this make your blog will be indexed by search engine.
- Link exchange among blogger is not only making your blog being known, but this is as media to recognize blog URL address which had you visited.
- Don’t you ever feel angry, sad, humiliated if there is no link back to your blog. Think positive and always think positive.
- Give useful comment wisely and in proper way but containing great and look promising, like “This blog give me a lot of great things, I will bookmark it and subscribe to your RSS. I will surely revisit”. This is good way to make blog owner feel warm and happy, and it is big possibility he/she will do the same thing to you.
For old blogger:
- For famed blogger that has blogging in such a long time, share your link to others especially the new ones, because you are nothing without their support.
- Link exchange with new blogger will not give you any beneficial from page rank side, in fact this give them page rank support, but you have to remember that your blog will keep visit all time and will kept in new blogger’s mind. This has simple reason; they will feel appreciated and also give positive impression.
- Don’t you feel irked with new blogger manner, you should tolerate their action because they are new (including me myself) and need more time to learn a lot, try to remember the past when you were still learning how to promote your blog, maybe you did the same thing like new blogger do in this time.
