5 Uncommon Ways to Market Your Blog
The following post has been submitted by Neil Patel from Pronet Advertising and Quick Sprout.
If you are trying to increase the popularity of your blog, chances are you’ve already looked into search engine optimization (seo) or leveraging social media sites. There is nothing wrong with using these methods and you should probably try using them, but if you have already exhausted all the common methods of marketing your blog then here are 5 uncommon methods that work well:
1. Comments - People get lazy when it comes to posting comments on other blog on a regular basis. You may say that you don’t have the time or that you don’t want to post comments on other blogs because the majority are your competitors. It doesn’t matter, if you post comments on other blogs on a regular basis and give valuable advice many of those readers will start looking up to you and start reading your blog. If you do this for months you can get thousands of new readers as well as increase your blogs popularity.
2. Social Networks - MySpace, Facebook, and Bebo and some of the most popular websites on the Internet, so why not leverage them? They get millions of visitors a day and there’s no reason not to create profiles on every one of these sites. When building your profiles you can talk about your blog as well as link to it which will cause more visitors to flood into your website.
3. Blogroll - Lots of bloggers avoid blogrolls because they hate linking out but by using a blogroll you will get more people to link back to you. Not only does this help with search engines, but more importantly will it drive visitors to your website. When adding sites to your blogroll, don’t just do it because you want a link back from a specific site, do it because you think it is a great blog.
4. Widgets - Who would have thought widgets can increase the popularity of your blog? If you are one of those people, take a look at MyBlogLog. When you setup a community like that, new bloggers will learn about you and start reading your blog. The other great thing about MyBlogLog is that you can friend other random bloggers which causes many of them to friend you back and look into your blog.
5. Offline - When people market their blogs they usually do so online. If you go to work or meet tons of new people on a daily basis you should share your blog with them if you feel it will benefit them. Every time I go to a conference or a meetup, I usually tell people about my blog and within a day or so I see an increase in RSS subscribers.
There are many other unconventional ways you can market your blog, these are just some of the methods I use. Anybody else have other “uncommon” ideas to market your blog?

Great post Darren! I’ve also found using the media and issuing press releases to be beneficial. If you can convince one reporter to write about you they do the work to convince thousands of others about coming to your blog!

I think you need to be really careful with widgets. Yes, MyBlogLog is great - and I’ve clicked on many a fellow reader’s picture, and followed the link to their blog - but most widgets are little more than distractions.
Many bloggers harp on about using a drop down (combo) widget for archives in place of a monthly list (the standard, built in approach). I’ve never understood this, and feel it’s just plain wrong, yet so many people ‘in the know’ use it, and look down on those who don’t.
Many of my non-techie family members and friends wouldn’t know enough to open a drop down list, whereas they DO know how to click on a link. Far better to simply cut your visible archives down to the previous 8 or 10 months than hide them away in a cool drop down.

I used MyBlogLog for a while until I realized that people click on my profile just because they want to be noticed. Very few actually went to my blogs (i do not blame them, I noticed that I do exactly the same thing when browsing MyBlogLog).

I’m with you on that Michael. I took the MyBlogLog widget off my sidebar when it became abundantly clear how many of the avatars were no more than blatant ad graphics — great ugly flashing ads, too, some of them! But I still find that browsing around MyBlogLog is a great way to discover new blogs to explore.

The offline promotion of a blog (or any site for that matter) cannot be emphasized enough. Find your audience and go get them where they are. You can’t always do that sitting in front of your keyboard.
I also agree with everyone’s comments regarding widgets. It is a matter of who your audience is. For internet marketing blogs, most are totally fine because they are perfect for our community. However, if I were blogging about child safety with a target audience of mothers, then most would just get in the way or add no value.

I have reduced my ByBlogLog widget to 3 items only because it was slugging my page performance.
There are advantages to MyBlogLog, such as being able to track at a glance how much traffic you are getting as the pictures move. However, they can also be embarrassing - when I illustrated thsi technique from Problogger’s widget before Darren dumped it one of the pics was - shall we say - revealing. I have linked the article on my name above.
Great article.

I dunno if “uncommon” is the right word for this post. All five of these tips show up frequently in posts highlighting different ways to market your blog, particularly numbers 1 to 3.
I’m a bit disappointed; Neil usually delivers good stuff over at Pronet. What gives? :P
Jeremy Steele
June 7th, 2007 7:57 am
Yeah posting comments is definitely a nice way to get some traffic and readers. A few months back I’d probably leave 40-50 comments per day on dozens of blogs and traffic wasn’t even on my mind at the time, I just did it because it was relaxing and it is fun to start debates… been getting lazy lately though ;)

June 7th, 2007 7:59 am
For more professional blogs, having my blog listed on my LinkedIn profile has brought in a few readers. I think it helps that I’ve answered a few questions in the Q and A section, otherwise, the only way for someone to find you is though your contacts or by a search.
Hmm, I guess this comment serves as a test of number 1.

Good tips. One way I market my blog offline is buying cheap sheets of blank business cards at my local office supply store. Then, using MS Publisher, I design a simple card that has my blog’s web address on it a maybe a few thing about the blog (and I always include the free monthly newsletter).
I then print off several sheets of these cards and take them with me everywhere. When I’m in a coffee shop or bookstore, or any other public place, I just drop one where I know it’ll be found. I know it sounds kind of slimy, but it works. NOTE: I don’t put any personal information on the cards, just info. related to my blog.
Oh yeah, and I also get a few hits from leaving comments here! Thank you everyone for visiting my site. I appreciate all my visitors!!!!

Here are a few more ways I use. I am not going for lots of traffic so this is hardly do or die.
SpringWidgets — if fact I use its Widget for THIS blog. But I could for any RSS feed. Handsome, beta and good.
Technorati — I do serious Good Keywords research in setting up a blog and choose results tied to what I believe will not rotate too quickly in Technorati kw results. Consequently I find consistent Technorati traffic in my logs.
I point most of my external traffic from free Veretekk portals to a GDI gateway (actual domain) which would on a good day rerminate in a click to my main blog.
I plan to begin commenting in subject areas of interest mainly to develop common interests in some of my non-commercial, subject blogs.
I find social sites and even Squidoo are not as big a deal as I thought they were at one time.
Using podcasting and other audio methods seems to me the biggest unmentioned (in this post) aid to maxing interest and meaningful visits.

A few comments:
#2. A good way to generate traffic via Facebook: first to build a large body of friends. Next, mention a few of your blog posts as a posted item link w/ picture. You’ll get hits, and good quality ones too. Don’t try this with every blog post you do, otherwise you might get a rep among your Facebook friends as being spammy. But 2 or so times a week works wonders.
#4. One widget I found to be useful was AltaVista BabelFish. A lot of visitors to my site don’t read English well and it is a help for them to be able to translate the whole thing into their native tongue via one click.
#5. I had some blog business cards printed up for a convention in February and found that they were an extremely useful way to market my blog offline.

While blogs are more popular now than traditional message boards or forums, we’ve noticed that we get quite a few hits coming from those.
For example, Dede’s Caliente garners a lot of visitors from the NewBeetle.org message forums.
Likewise, we get a significant amount of traffic over on our Russian Adoption Journal niche blog from adoption message forums, such as FRUA Chat.
And I’ve certainly seen minor surges of traffic coming from some of the webmaster forums like the DigitalPoint Forums.
So, don’t discount the usefulness of old-school message boards to help publicize your blog.

Don’t offer the ability to post comments on the blog and no one will know that you only get 20 uniques a day. Once you’re upwards of 100 RSS subscribers or 1000 unique visitors per day, you can open up the comments and see light activity.

There are a couple of free advertising networks too that might be good:
http://bla.st/ a visual directory and ad network (which I run)
http://www.adgridwork.com/ - free google adwords style ads
MyBlogLog widget is also good for sites that aren’t blogs. The widget is a great way to see who’s visiting your site and that they are real people. I see regulars on all the time, and I’m sure some new customers have arrived from it.

June 7th, 2007 10:59 am
A great way that I have found to generate buzz is via Blog Reviews. ReviewMe.com and Payperpost.com are awesome for getting A-List bloggers to review and link to your site. If you don’t have the resources to pay for this kind of thing, there are always free blog review exchanges like http://www.reviewback.com that allow you to swap reviews with other bloggers within your niche. With all of the methods though, you should definitely disclose the fact that the post is paid/exchanged in order to upset your user base.

You make a good point about offline marketing. Bloggers and webmasters tend to stick to online marketing techniques, but I have a business card with my blog URL, contact details, and whenever I come in touch with wants to know about what I do for a living, I pass them the business card.
I travel alot [my main blog is travel related] and people are always asking me for advice, so the business card is a good way to remind them about the blog.
Whenever I get a taxi, I also give the driver a business card - can you imagine how many people he/she comes into contact with during the day and how many people talk about holidays.

This is an oldy but a goody.
Have cards printed, and then go to a book store and place the cards into the reference book relatd to your niche.
A bit “geurilla marketing-esque” but good fun, it’s sorta like shop lifting but you leave something behind.

Once i went door to door dropping little fliers in mailboxes in a 4 block radius of my appartment with a little blurb about my free stuff blog. It was in between jobs, so i had the time :) i think i got a handful of hits from it.
I guess the point is that you should expiriment with any idea that comes to mind and give it a shot…
I also once passed out little fliers downtown durring lunchbreak
hey, it was when i first started. Maybe i was a little desprate for traffic….

Some of them, i used to do. when i just created firstly my blog. I felt worried that who know my blog. and later I went into other blogs and leave comments. and then they commented me back. But sometimes, it is my fault to be lazy to leave comments. I will follow up your good advices.

June 7th, 2007 1:52 pm
i think its best to cover off all aspects of traffic building or at least have them available on your blog as you never know 10 of your readers may digg you and get you 50 more readers or the comments that you make may keep the attraction your blog has. by this i mean that say a certain reader is reading through your post and they think its great. but the havn’t yet subscribed to your feed burner reading the comments you have on or under your blog may make them sign up after they see what others think of you. commenting on other blogs has brought me traffic it is irritating i must admit but it does work if you stick it out long enough

I have been experimenting with social networking sites as a way to drive traffic to my blog, especially as I’m not not currently getting a great deal of traffic from Google. I have found I am getting some hits from these sites, particularly MySpace. There’s a few more social networking sites I need to register with, better go and do that.

The offline one is by far the most important one here — and one of the things I try and emphasise to the music industry people I consult.
The number of bands I see live that say ‘check out our myspace’ at the end of their gigs and simply leave it at that is heartbreaking. Not only are most of the people there already ‘myspace friends’ but actually, there’s no new information there to be found other than upcoming gigs in towns other than the ones where the audience lives.
There’s no URL on their flyers, their T-shirts or their CD liner notes, and nothing new to look at if they do find the website on more than one occasion. Blogging professionally (as opposed to blogging AS a profession) is nowhere more important than in the music business.
It’s perhaps the most simple thing I tell independent labels, artists, promoters, venue operators, music educators and anyone else who’ll listen: your website is not a marketing strategy — your website REQUIRES a marketing strategy. If you work in a business where crowds of people gather, and you don’t tell them how to find you online, then you’ve missed an important opportunity.
And while I’m here, just thought I’d add how much I appreciate this blog. It’s been a real source of inspiration and clear thinking. Cheers.

Offline is a big one for me. As a stand-up comedian, I am one of the few performers who passes around an email sign-up list after my shows. This has been very valuable for getting my audience to follow me to my comedy web site and then back out to the live shows.

Having exhausted all other methods, I find your list of 5 refreshing and serves as a reminder to what I did not do (opposed to which I am supposed to do).
I had hesitated thoughts of being selfish and not include other great blogs in MyBlogRoll as some school of thought said linking out is Not a good thing to do.
I think I would start posting in other people’s blog and start adding in some great sites in my BlogRoll.
Thanks

The offline thing is huge. Getting the attention of even a small local newspaper will bring in a surprising amount of traffic. The key to that, of course, is doing something different or newsworthy. My website and blog have been written up in five different newspapers that I’m aware of, and every time it shows up in the press I get a really nice spike in traffic along with a decent number of new regular readers.
Of all of the other methods, I’ve found commenting to be the most important for attracting and keeping readers. Basically, it just shows that you’re involved in the community and genuinely interested in what’s going on. I’ve had a few comments on my blog of the “hey, look what I wrote” variety, and those do nothing but turn me off. But when I come across an insightful, smart comment, either on my blog or someone else’s, I almost always end up visiting that person’s blog.

Great article.
One additional tip: Find a niche social content that matches your topic and begin submitting articles there.
For example, if you’re writing about business topics, we have a new social content site, http://www.DailyHub.com where lots of folks interested in business topics aggregate. This is another way to build traffic and the smaller social content sites like DailyHub are much easier to get some visibility on vs. things like digg and reddit.
Just make sure you are contributing content that is relevant to that community.

I have been following the ideas and advice from Darren and other contributors. Unfortunately, having a site specific to non-English readers, and also most of my readers not being so technorati/digg/stumbleupon savvy, I have problems attracting traffic by this method.
I believe I am one of the few right now blogging about my niche subject; however, I find these methods to be irrelevant at this point. But I found that participating on forums related to my niche and not directly mentioning my site (b/c the posts get deleted!) and linking to my site via my signature helps significantly with traffic. Most forums allow bbcode as signatures. I try to post my logo along with site name. The only down side is, just like commenting, it needs maintenance. I have to constantly post because subjects usually roll quite quickly. Sometimes this is hard to do when you don’t have much to say about everything :)
P.S. Non-english sites with not so technical niche…Now, thats a challange! Is there anything other than google that I can attract readers with?

I disagree. I think that having comments open from the start will help to increase your readership. People like to comment on blogs. If you don’t give them that option, you’ve just decreased the chances of them sticking around. I know there are a few popular blogs that don’t let readers leave comments, but I think these are the exception.
Besides, even if you have hundreds of readers, odds are that most of your comments will come from a much smaller “core” group of readers.
One last thing–a lot of people judge the quality of a blog by the number of comments it receives. If they visit your blog in the early stages and see that you have no comments, or don’t allow comments, they may never return.

These are good reminders, but not really all that “uncommon.” I do at least 4 out of the 5 regularly for several of my blogs, and I know a lot of bloggers do at least use blogrolls and commenting. Maybe it’s just that I’m in niches that have embraced those from the start… I don’t know. It would be good to see more written on offline blog promotion though. A lot of bloggers probably don’t even know where to start with that.

I also have difficulty with commenting on other blogs…I just have to take the time to do it. I think I will carve an hour a day to do just this. I think my main excuse for not doing this is that I have so much ‘real’ work to do, it just seems like I am not working when I do this. But I can see how it can have an impact on my own blogs. So thanks! for the reminder.

Offline: Traditional marketing is one of the things that bloggers seem to overlook, badly. I always have business cards for the different things I’m involved with. In my wallet now are my personal card (I’m a photographer), my work card (I still have a real job as a network admin), and my “fun” blog (click my name to see it).
For my fun blog, I have several contributing writers in different parts of the country, I’ve created and mailed them all their own cards. This has gone over very well with all of them as they feel part of something now, and feel official.
I’m working on getting some vinyl stickers made too, everyone loves stickers =)

I agree a lot with the comments thing. However, it is a very strenous exercise for any blogger. To visit quite a few blogs and leave meaningful comments on their posts for a consistent amount of time is time-consuming and also required a huge amount of intellectual engagement.
However, if it is followed religiously it can be productive and can drive a lot of traffic and also build wonderful relationships with other bloggers. That is extremely crucial for any blogger.

Uncommon ways to market your blog… Would you recommend we do these before, after or DURING the ‘common’ ways to promote a blog.
My new blog is getting about 30-80 visitors a day, lately more towards 80. I think most of them are coming from one popular internet marketing forum though. The problem I think with it is content. I need a base of ideas to just sit down and write. I HAVE them, but I feel a lot of it deals with SEO techniques that I myself am still learning. That being the case, why would people want to listen to me? I know they work, I just need to get people to know I know they do. My site is 10 days old, btw.

Hey, thanks for your information. I just launched my blog yesteday and one of the first things I did was list a blogroll. Who knows, maybe it will lead to “friendships” with some of my favorite blogs. Wish me luck and please check out my newborn blog, called Lindsey Lou!

I know this is a very old post, but it still has a lot of good advice!
I’ve found the most valuable uncommon way to market my blog is through my Twitter page. I’ll start the post as a Tweet, and then post the link to the complete blog post. Readers will generally click through to read the longer post.
Thanks!
