5 Surefire Basic Methods to use in Promoting Your Blog

Copyright 2005 Mal Keenan

Okay! Your research is solid and youve created strategies
for presenting the contents in your blog. Youve identified
your audience and have created hooks for appealing to them.

You are definitely ready to go blogging!

First, youll need to know and understand what kind of
software a blogging uses, to be effective in promoting the
blog.

Blogging software is simple Content Management System
(CMS). This makes it easy for you to add new pages and have
them easily integrated into your site's navigational
structure and linkage.

Although there are crucial differences between a website
and a blog, but they possess one very good quality. They
are search engine friendly; ergo both use a good sized dose
of keyword phrases. Blogs are also text-rich, link-rich,
frequently updated web pages which utilize CSS, and need
very little HTML.

Prior to writing your blog, go to websites to get a supply
of at least 100 keywords relevant to your topic, try the
Word Tracker website.

When writing, keep these 100 keywords close at hand, so
that youll write the primary keyword into your blog urls.
Use your primary key words in your title, the secondary
keywords in the body of your posts, and in the anchor text
of links in the body of your post.

Now that youve done the preliminaries such as picking your
100 keywords, and know how to slip them into your blog
posts, these are the next steps youll need to take:

1.Build links to your blog, do this by the following ways.
Link your blog from each page on your website, post
comments on other blogs that are similarly themed. Ask if
you can link to them.

2.Submit your blog and RSS feed to big directories. This
will expand your community of readers and keep old ones
coming back for more.

3.Make sure that your side navigation bar is present on all
your blog posts, so that search engines can easily spider
your blog.

4.Frequently post blogs. Search engine spiders strive on
fresh content.

5.Stay with the domain youve picked. If you move, youll
lose important data; traffic and worse, your position in
the search engine rankings.

Use these basics to get started. Youll get to the top in a
short time. Make posting new content on your blog a habit
and youll stay there.

I have been able to get to the top positions for important
keyword phrases simply by naming my blog post according to
the keyword I am targeting... so I know that blogging DOES
work.

Get blogging today!
