Category — Blog Site Submissions

So you want to increase traffic to your blog for free? Here are some tips!

An important part of the arsenal of the blogmaster is finding and submitting your blog to the various blog groups and organizations. This accomplishes several things:

  • Backlinking - The more sites that list and point towards your blog that are legitimate in nature, the more search engine juice you get.
  • Organic Search Results mean more targeted traffic to your site.
  • You encounter some really great blogs and ideas along the way to help inspire you to create and expand your own ideas.
  • Clever ad placements - one of the things that I implemented on this blog was an invasive google adwords campaign. I did this not out of a random act of liking oddly paragraphed posts, I did it because it was proven statistically to be a great click source. So far, I’m pleased.

What are you doing to promote your site? Are you writing things that inspire you and others around you? Grow your ideas, grow your mind, and grow the vision of your site. All else will flow in from these sources.

MyblogLog community has some nocturnal activity!

I’m a night owl, up all night most of the time and as I surfed over to MyBloglog

and updated my information, I got a couple of people immediately checking me out. Pretty cool. Night owls unite!They asked that I submit a verification post, so that seems reasonable enough. After all, the enormous amount of traffic that is flooding into my site might very well want to check them out!

Day 2 of 4 trillion webnetworking updates!

Submitting my site for traffic - Day 1 of the 4 trillion day progress.

I have embarked on generating traffic into the site. So, I’m going to sign up for blog lists and see if it garners any traffic or interest. I figure if I do a few of these a day, eventually people will come and read what I have to say about getting set up. The whole idea behind this concept is that new people to blogging are going to be putting their hearts, soul, and content on the web for people to see…but they have to get the people here to see it. So A-1 Blog list is my first submission. I’m going to continue on with other submissions and see what type of responses I get traffic wise flowing into the site. A-1 Blog list let me submit my page with just a reciprocal link. (see previous)

The next site that I submitted to is Rss Hugger Logo RSS Hugger which is a site that promotes new blogs and helps new blogs find new readers. It’s kind of a cool shopping mall for blogs. You can go in there and describe your blog and it stays on the site for ten years. The only caveat is that you have to give an honest review of their blog. As a new person, I think any kind of exposure, good or bad, is good exposure. They say that any kind of publicity is good publicity, but I think that if you are honest and you provide genuine feedback, you are going to be rewarded with good karma :). I like the color scheme of RSS Hugger and the site looks like it’s really trying to provide a great service - putting readers in touch with new and fresh blogs.
