Simple Blog Web Promotion Ideas!!
by Sam Partland

Getting your blog off the ground is not as tricky
as people make it out to be. If you follow some
really basic steps then it can be as eating a
piece of pie. I have found a couple great blogs
that have taught be something very unique and
extremely rare. What I have learnt will benefit
any and every blogger out there. Read on to find
out more.

If you talk to bloggers about how many readers
they had from the word go most of them will say
absolutely NONE. They will tell you that it takes
weeks if not months to get a small, simple blog
off the ground and get people reading, reviewing,
and subscribing to your blog. How would you like
it if I told you that you did not have to weeks
promoting your blog? How would you like it if you
didn't even have to spend days promoting your
blog?
Well I am going to tell you how you can get
hundreds if not a thousand visitors to your blog
in its first week. There are a few things that
you will have to do. The steps are really simple
to follow and you can either do it in one big
load in one day or you can spread it out spending
no more than half an hour or so a day over the
span of about a couple weeks for best results.

Content

Many bloggers will start out with one to five
post on their first day and then post once a day
or week. This is the first thing that they are
doing wrong to get their blog off the ground. You
ask all of the bloggers that have done this and
they will tell you that it took a week to a month
before they started to get readers.
Having five posts when your blog is started is
not enough to get people to hang around and keep
reading. You have to have enough posts pre-
written so by the time your blog goes live you
can post them all one after another. This will
allow a visitor to be able to have a look around
at what your writing and the more they read the
higher the chance that they will subscribe or
come back for more.

To get returning visitors from the start you have
to have ATLEAST 20-30 post pre-written and ready
to post as soon as your blog goes live. If you
have 20-30 quality posts ready to go you can be
assured that your visitors will stick around and
read.

Tagging

While researching blogs and blog promotion I came
across something called Technorati Tagging. I
had never seen this before and I didn't have a
clue what they did so I looked into it further. I
found out that Technorati Tags are actually able
to deliver mass amounts of traffic. They way it
works is as your writing your post when you come
across a word that could categorize your post you
add [tag] and close the word with a [/tag) (
change the ) with a ]) around it. This will 'tag'
that word and once your blog is pinged to
Technorati your blog will be placed under the
category of that word. When someone searches a
word that you have tagged your blog will show up.

Social Bookmarking

You will definitely see results by social
bookmarking. It is very simple and all it
requires is a little time. All you simply have to
do is notify them of your post :O that sounds so
hard. I managed to find a great list of the best
social bookmarking sites. Take your pick of these
top 20. They are all great and will improve your
search engine results greatly.

1. 30daytags
2. BlinkBits
3. BlogHop
4. BlogLot
5. BlogMarks
6. BlogMemes
7. BlogPulse
8. BmAccess
9. browsr
10. Fark
11. CiteULike
12. clipclip
13. clipmarks
14. Complore
15. Connectedy
16. Connotea
17. de.lirio.us
18. del.icio.us
19. digg
20. diigo

Tell Other Bloggers

If you are after highly targeted traffic then
this is a MUST. Before your blog goes live search
through Google and other search engines for blog
that are highly ranked on the topic you are
writing on.
Create some personalised emails for each of the
blogs you find (I recommend around 30-40 as you
should recieve 75% positive results). Do not
email the bloggers until you have made your
initial posts.
By notifying other bloggers about your blog you
will get the 'word' out and you should recieve
some good traffic and links from these other
blogs.

Your Done!!

If you do all of this correctly then not to long
after you made our first post your should be
receiving some quality views. This has to be the
easiest web promotion for your blog ever.
You will be receiving many return readers if you
have followed these steps because the traffic is
so targeted. If you wish to read more on this
