Everyday you update your blog. You write about your life and post it on your site. But no one reads them. Then you try writiting about latest technology and gadgets hoping that you will get some comments from readers on the next day but still, not many people comes to your site. But you still continue posting and updating your site everyday, every night. After some period, you realized that you need to promote and advertise your site but you don’t know how.

Here I will share with you some tips on how to promote and get more readers to your site. I’m no expert in site advertising or marketing but I have some little knowledge that I want to share with you. :d

Join bloggers forum
Join and participate in bloggers forum or portals. Introduce yourself and brief politely about your site. Tell them what your site is about. I’m sure in every bloggers forum, there is a section where you can promote or show off your blog. Post something there.

Describe your blog and invite them to visit. If the forum admin enable signature in post (usually it is enable), put your site link in your signature. That way, peoples can see your site link when you post or reply someone’s post on the forum.

Visit other blogs
You must start it first. Don’t wait people come to your site. Visit other member�s blog and drop them some comments about their blog posts. Don’t give comments say something like, “Hey, nice site!” or “I love your site. Cool!” but give comments that relate to their posts. If they read your comment, they also will visit back to your site.

Another way is, if your post same like other people post, trackback their post. I assume you know how to use trackback. :p

Submit to Blog Directory/Topsites
There are many blog directories in the Internet. Submit your site to as many blog directories as you can. Almost of them are free but some of them you need to put HTML code on your site before your site been listed in their directory.

And join topsites too. If your site is on top rank, there will be more peoples now about your site.

Signature in Email
Put your site link in your email signature. So each time you send or reply email, the receiver will see it. So they’ll know that you have a site and they will visit your site to see what your blog is about.

Join Exchange Link program
This program is a two way feedback. You put their site link on your site and they will put yours on their site. The system goes like that. Beside increase your page rank, it also can bring more peoples to your site.

Public Bookmarking
Submit your contents to any public book marking sites such del.icio.us or Furl, etc. There are many to list here. But make sure that you submit on specific topic or people will ignore it.

Submit to Search Engine
Submit your site link to popular search engine such as Google, Yahoo, etc. There are some sites that can submit your site to 20 search engines for free.

Ping your site
This is a must. Ping your site to Pingoat.com or Pingomatic.com each time you update your site. Both of them give the best ping-ing services.

Well, if you have make all these things I’m sure in one week or maybe less, you will have regular visitors that come to your site. But make sure you have good contents on your site or you will loose them one by one.

If you have any comments or want to add up your own tips, feel free to say it in the comment form. Well, thanks for your time and hope this helps! ;) [tags]advertise blog, increase visitors, increase traffic[/tags]

    The one which you placed near your ads at the top

    Yeah. You can use it. I also took it from other site too. :)

    Maybe i have to blog in international language so that i can get more traffic

    Yeah. If you post in English, many readers can read your blog. If you post in Malay, only Malaysian will only read it. So, start blogging in English then. Good luck! ;)

    Hey Mate,
    I actually wasn’t looking for this on your site but stumbled on it as I was learning to code Wordpress themes (from your tutorial – excellent BTW!). Anyway, just wanted to let you know that this was a nice succinct way of helping all of us ‘new’ bloggers gather traffic and attact attention to our site.

    Keep up the good work.

    One suggestion – could you incorporate a ‘printer friendly’ option on your posts. I’d love to get nice clean prints of your Wordpress tutorial.

    cheers

    Hi CypherHackz,
    I’m the first low-cost sandwich provider in China and I do use blogs to advetise my sandwiches and grab a better ranking on google.

    For instance, I created a contest where bloggers can add my sandwich banner on their blog. In exchange, one of them get $70 every month.

    Blogs really generate much traffic, it’s the best marketing tool I ever found for my sandwich business… So long live to you and the numerous bloggers out there.

    Bloggers who are willing to join the contest can still do so until 20/02 at his address: http://www.icistreet.com/sandw.....ontest.asp

    is that mean anyone who join your contest will get $70 monthly?

    January 29th, 2008 | 4:13 pm | Reply

    :( Aiya nooooooooo.

    Only one guy will win the money, but the good thing is that once you registered, if you keep the banner on your blog, your link remains valid and maybe you can win the 70$ the following month or another.

    Thx for asking!
