After you have exhausted your creative energy giving birth to the perfect blog post you hit ‘publish’. Relax not young blogger, for you must get your words out there. There is no quick fix for this and unfortunately it takes time and persistence to build your online reputation. The following is a plethora of promoting activities you can get stuck into for building your readership, your traffic and inevitably your monies!
A good way to promote your site submit its link to be including in a free directory. I recommend choosing only 3 quality directories and submitting your site. The idea is not to spam every internet directory with your website link but build quality links to your site.
Watch out for dodgy directories where you have to pay to submit. It has been found that there are directories out there who list company/blog websites, then pack up and move to the next scam internet directory. A simple way around this is to just submit your site to quality directories that are free and get there monies from long-term established advertising revenue. Read the rest of this entry »
What do you mean by ‘Free Articles’ ?
Authors submit their writings to free article directories to build up their reputation and link backs to their website. Any website can republish these articles by abiding to creative commons rules and keeping any links intact.
Instead of writing your own content you can simply publish free articles to keep your readers entertained. There are some pros and cons however as the easiest path to blogging fame may not be the best. So, where to get these mass published prints…
Free Article Directories
There has been massive growth of article directories on the internet. This is because they like to generate revenue by using Google AdSense and uploaded content from enthusiastic free article writers.
Free articles serve the author by sending specific traffic back to their website. This is effectively achieved by attaching an intriguing signature or author bio at the bottom of the article. As free online newsletter editors search for monthly content, new blogs seek relevant texts, author bio links grow as their free articles are republished. Google then scans these blogs, newsletters, article directories which all point back to the authors PageRank effectively pushing up the author website in Google Search results.
As the above demo shows, we will now be able to hit two birds with one stone. Logging on twice to Google’s blogging cornerstones is a thing of the past. You’ll now be able to find out exactly which pages generate what income at what time from what referrer. Tracking your users through your blog has never been so easy allowing us bloggers improved financial gain. Invites will be out soon it is now being gradually rolled out.
Will we now see only money making content on blogs with all else suffering economic cut backs? Well no. Luckily economics shows us one product swamping the market will drive down it’s monetary value allowing other niche topics back in the game. The diverse blogosphere will continue to evolve even under Google’s analytic/adsense microscope.

6 Reasons Steer Clear of Blog Networks
- Money - You only get part of the money!
- Guilty by Association - If the network looks bad so do you!
- Conforming - If you thrive on controversy posts consider your partners
- Inside the Square - Tunnel-vision from working with your blog partners rather than with the outside world (lack of inspiration)
- Growing Pains - Being drowned out by the big bang - network expansion may result in not receiving support
- Locked In - Did you start blogging to vent via writing? Deadlines, 1 post per day requirements, sounds like a job to me… bach humbug

7 Reasons to Enter Blog Networks
- Relationships - communicate to your blog teammates through forums, chat, email lists for support all things blogging. You have already established raport by fighting for the same cause!
