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!

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!

The best – THE BEST – way to get people reading your blog, is to write stuff that people want to read! It might sound radical, but like others have noted, when people are using the web to merely get clicks, the web doesn’t become too interesting anymore.

I will certainly give this a try. I am going to start actively responding to posts and see what it does for my site. I am really hoping that readers will spread through word of mouth though.

I agree with most of the other comments on widgets, but what a new way to promote your blog, and website, is by incorporating your blog into your site. Then use a program like twitter to send out the daily signal and drive more traffic to your site.

A great post Darren! Especially on the social networking, which I think the most important free way to generate traffic. I start to comment on other’s blogs today. Hope I can see some traffic come to my blog :-)

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.

THanks,
zerk

I think that offline marketing is the most overlooked aspect of picking up blog numbers. I work in the consumer tech publishing field, so I’m always mixing and mingling with people, both PR and the average joe consumer. I always make sure to have my blog cards on hand.

Well thats the way to promote or market your blog, but can anyone tell the way to promote your website as its pages are going in supplemental results.
Thanks, Samay Ahuja.

I think this list is missing. Have you checked Peopleized.com ? People make interview with people. After making an interview, you can copy and paste the interview to your blog and publish it. Super cool!

I am sure this way you can market your blog better than any other options mentioned in this post.

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.
