Tip #15 - Advertise Your Blog Using Different Methods

I am back from my hiatus. With this post, I will help you advertise your blog and get it out there. There are several unconventional ways to do this, all of which have helped this blog itself rise up in Google's Pagerank.

1) Comments - Commenting on other people's blogs will draw the blog owner's to your blog as well as driving readers of those blogs to your blog (if you include your blog address). If you leave comments that are well written, nice, and coherant, people will want to check out your blog even more.

2) Forums - Use forums that are in your blog's niche as a way to bring in boat loads of visitors to your site. Be sure to include your blog's address in your signature, and search for topics that you have addressed in your blog. Be sure not to post so many times that you are spamming the board.. that will take away readers.

3) Real World - You can print up business cards and go to local shops / stores, or conferences / meetups and giveout the card with your website address on it.

4) Exchange Links - I think I have gone over this already, but it is worth reiterating. Exchanging links is VERY important and helps draw traffic to your blog which otherwise might never have found it. Personally, I only link to sites that are of good quality and also have the same niche (blogging).

Good luck!
