New ways to build traffic through offline and online blog promotion, a very popular post written about blog promotion which I highly recommend you read.
If you are short on time, here are a few excerpts:
- List of Other Blogger’s Best Posts – Sounds odd but if you went through other blogs and made a list of the best posts on their blog you will most likely get a link and easily get tweets if the blogger is popular on twitter.
- List Post of Bloggers Your Readers Must Follow – Bloggers will come and check it out, thank you, pingback and comment. Creates some buzz on a variety of sites. For an example check out BloggingTips.com with 373 tweets!
- Do an Interview with An Important Blogger – Create some buzz about a famous person being interviewed on your site. Make it unique and your site will be the place to get their important interview.
- Thank You Notes – Send thank you notes to bloggers you have been inspired by, learned from or connected with. Your gratitude will go a long way in solidifying a long-term relationship.
- What is Wrong With This Picture? – Make a picture with your digital imaging software, like photoshop, and put together an image with lots of items in it. Then make it a “what 10 items are out of place?”, or “Can you find?” post. People will forward it in emails, blog about it and stumble it.
- Article Marketing Outside Your Niche – Write articles and submit them to Ezine or other article databases on subjects you normally don’t write about.
- Submitting to Aggregators – Make sure your blog is in reputable aggregators for other bloggers to find your great content.
- Submitting to Domain Checkers – Use free domain tools to check your site and build links through their custom pages of your site.
