Ways to Get Your Blog Noticed
Built a blog? Will they come? They will if you do these simple things that can attract new eyes.
Link, Link, Link
Include links to other articles, web sites, and blogs that are similar to what you write about. “Social bookmarking” sites, such as digg or del.icio.us, and those with high pageranks can generate good traffic. Referrals to other blogs often can mean links back to you.
Syndicate
RSS feeds can generate a lot of traffic. Encourage visitors to subscribe and make it easy for them to include you in their readers.
Aggregate
Make sure your blog is being “pinged” by technorati, blo.gs, weblogs.com, or pingomatic to get your blog noted by other aggregator sites.
Install: Email This Post
Allow people to simply forward an article to a friend via email. It enables others to publicize your blog for you.
Install a Blogroll
Similar to linking, it puts a list of other bloggers and their sites on your blog. It is a personal statement that says these are the bloggers I like or the crowd I’d like to be associated with. Again, a very simple yet effective social networking scheme.
Add Comments & Trackbacks
You can routinely pickup new readers by allowing them to communicate with you. Referrer and new audiences can spring from trackbacks and other references to your site.
Great Writing
Interesting posts always keeps them coming back. See tips on writing great content.
I commend you on being consice. What took other people 12-17 steps to say you said in seven steps.

Thanks for the tips!
I really enjoyed your blog. I just started blogging and felt lost. This really helped
Those are good tips.. if you link out to a lot of sites though, that don't ever link back to you, does that end up hurting your page rank?
This blog looks great: http://deleteyourbrain.blogspot.com/
Its dissapointing that hardly any people notice my blog. I can’t understand why.
I have joined Digg and none of them are following me. Apart from this I have submitted my blog to many directories. Still, i cannot get traffic.
Can you please explain me the reason. Is it because I’m a creepy repellent weirdo or is it my blog?
Is there a way to submit a blog to the major search engines? I tried submitting to bing but only got an error.
Thank you! Thank you! I have been trying to drive more traffic to my blog. People seem really interested and I stumbled upon a couple of aggregation sites, but the advice I read here in your post, made me feel confident that I now possess the right tools.
Thanks for an informative and easy to read and follow site.
Great tips! Thank you. We’ll give them a try!

Thank you for the tips! http://laurenmichelleotheim.wordpress.com/
I found your article quite informative. I recenently did class on creating blogs but nothing was addressed on how to get your blog noticed. Thanks for the information. I will definitely be trying them.
Very simple steps and not like other complicating articles that confuses the reader at the end. good job.
Thanks for the tips. I’ll give ‘em a shot!
Appreciate the advice!
I really appreciate the advise. Being a new blogger, I’m kind of “dumb” when it comes to getting my thoughts out there to share. You made it easy and simple to do. There is a lot of info out there on how to publish a blog, but getting it noticed is harder to do. Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the tips! Will definitely try them!
thank so much for this advice! very helpful. cheers!
This is great advice. I am working on getting my blog seen online. It takes a lot of time to build links, but doing it slowly and honestly is best. Blog rolls really do help as well.
I not so long ago, started blogging. I am always looking for new ways to get noticed. I have implimented all of the things listed here to some extent. One of the biggest thing that I think was missed here is TAGS. TAGS are critical so that people doing web searches will find your blog. I have 3 blogs and the first one I did http://www.whatisinmyyard.com I have done the most work with it to get it noticed and so far I have 900+ hits in just a few months. I am hoping that as time goes on that people will just simply spread the word.
I had no idea how important “pinging” was with getting your blog noticed, thanks for the information it providing me with a couple ways to get my blog noticed. Getting listed high on Google searches seems like a golden standard, and blog usually don’t make it very far up the list, obviously we (blog masters) need more creative ways to get our blogs noticed or else they collect dust without getting any traffic. It sounds like posting frequently is a good idea? Does this generate more pings?
Excellent. Just the info I need in starting my blog and my membership blog. So many out there that anything will help.
I found your list of related services very useful, and I have now subscribed to them. Thanks!
this was very helpful as a new blogger
thanks a lot!

Is there any way you can check traffic on a blog? People claim they’re reading it but I see no comments or indications.
Thanks for the tips , surely we all appreciate words of wisdom…now let’s hope I can accomplish all of the steps properly..it is a lot to research for those of us who are new at blogging and don’t really know how to “Ping”, “Digg”, “Link”, etc…I’ll get right onto researching now how to accomplish these important blogging “must dos”.
Thanks again! ^_^

Hi All,
Blogging is fun. Oh yeah. Learning WordPress, was at my first entry a horrid process, switching from Blogger.
Then came themes. Then came the continuous stream of upgrades. So my http://www.thetalker.org became a full time effort.
Finally get to posting. Where are the visitors!
So a bunch of goodies here. Thank you.
Hi, I have a blog that gets about 71,000 visitors per day. Is that a decent number in the scheme of things?
Hi, this site is very helpfull, im new to this bloggin business, and am finding it hard to get traffic to my blogs, but this has been an eye opener, thanks. http://www.healthandfitnessgym.blogspot.com

I have been trying to get more traffic since I started my blog, and my website businesses, so far I am only getting between 5-10 clicks per day for two of my sites, not so good. I have been looking all around the web to find away to get more traffic to my blog and my businesses. There are a lot of articles and people giving advice out on the web. Some good, some I don’t even understand what they are talking about. But your steps are easy for me to understand and easy for me to follow. I will implement these steps and let you know at a later date of how it all worked out. Thanks for just telling it like it is without making it complicated.
Thanks for the tips! Just started my blog and I’ll keep these in mind as I continue to post!

Good post, I am trying to get my blog/website http://www.TechBurrow.com noticed. If you guys could check it out that would be very helpful.
I have tried most of these methods, sometimes twice over, I’m pretty sure it’s down to your blogs topic and content, I mean if you specialize in a niche subject, it’s going to be pretty hard to get lots of ppl visiting or reading your blog.
