5 Tips To Help Get Your Blog Noticed

Posted on January 31st, 2008 as Sites, Social Networking

After doing my quick series of links I wanted to give some quick and easy tips to help get your blog noticed. I think these 5 tips will really helped get your blog noticed as they have helped me in the past few weeks to get mine noticed. So without further ado.

1. Comment - Try to comment on 3 new blogs a week but also comment on the blogs that you read daily.

2. RSS Feeds - Subscribe to blogs you like. Let the blogger know you like their blog and you subscribed to their feed. Hopefully they will visit your site and return the favor.

3. Run a contest - If you are trying to get new people to your site they need an incentive to visit. What a better way than free stuff. I grew my rss subscribers from 2 to 23 in
a week and went from 47 comments to 103 in 5 days and my contest is still going.

4. Get a blog review - If you can afford it or can work out a deal get a blog review on a blog bigger than yours. It will draw in new readers and they will trust you more because
you have a referral from a trusted blogger.

5. Run a competition - start a competition with a competing site. It might be for more new subscribers or for more comments but it’s a great tool. Some example are
Shoemoney vs. John Chow or Winnging the Web vs. Tyler Cruz

I know these are some basic tips but they lay the foundation for growing.

    well, having a contest on your blog is definitely the one working, but placing a good content is the best one.

    @ mann3r You are right content is always king. Contest do help to drive traffic while the contest is running but more hit and miss when it ends.

    indeed it is bud, so even without a contest or after the contest passed, they will keep on returning if new knowledge is being acquired to your site.

    -Add BlogRush
    -Give away stuff, like tshirts, wallpapers, etc.

    @ Nico Thanks for the comment. I am not a fan of blogrush, I feel it delivers crappy traffic. Right now I am trying out entrecard its competitor. We shall see how it goes. I have only been using it for a few weeks.

    @manner…
    I came to this blog for the RSS contest, but I’m still around, I think contests are a great way to pick up subscribers, and new readers

    I personally don’t like blogrush also, it doesn’t help, you are just giving away traffic but not getting traffic in return.

    @willhaynes,
    I didn’t say you will be gone lol, you are doing great buddy.
