Useful info! I thought that posting too much content on other people’s blogs would affect my blog’s rank.. Anyway I will give it a try..

I never would have thought that posting on other people’s blogs would be a good networking tool. Sure, your name gains some exposure, and you might get a little traffic, but is it worth having your ‘post’ show up in multiple search engine hits (outside your domain)?

I guess it can’t hurt to give it a try.

That’s really useful! I may be contacting you about putting something on your site, if you don’t mind. At the moment I am participating in something called the webcomic war and this week we have to promote outside that community. I’ve been finding it really tough to come up with ways of doing this. I mean going to random places that have absolutely nothing to do with webcomics and saying “Hey, check this out” just strikes me as rude. But now I think I will email some blogs about posting a cartoon on their site with linking details to my comic, ‘Epic Fail.’ Cheers for this!

Good article, I’m just starting my blog out. I’m a graphic designer so I talk about all things related, but also talk about everyday life stuff. I’m getting serious about blogging this year and this article helps. You just got to listen to these things and put them into action!

Hmmm with that in mind, maybe I’ll come back later when I have something more interesting to say and post here again. :-)
Thanks!

It is great to find useful content such as above. Most searches such as “how to promote my blog” lead to unhelpful affiliate type material. I will certainly be going to search for some larger blogs within my niche.

This is an awesome post and I’m REALLY excited to get to the next 4 parts! I just started my blog about 2 weeks ago and it’s coming along great in my opinion. No haven’t made any money yet or anything like that but I have really enjoyed getting to express myself and getting a few comments from some strangers… that was cool :)

I have done a little bit of guest posting because I have read before that it was good for promotion of my blog. I’m going to start getting a little more into it. I think that I will have “bursts” as well… sounds like a damn good idea to me!

How can I find the main page?

I offered guest posting on my blog and had no takers, but I contacted two people and they were thrilled to guest blog. I assume my readers prefer to read not write.

I tried guest blogging on another site and will do so again. I am re-thinking my strategy and will look into guest blogging some of my best work.

When I look at my stats I find people who have put links from my blog on their site, generates hits back to my site. I try to link to other people’s sites too.

Thanks for your tips,

Patricia

Great advice! With me new to blogging, it’s like drinking from a fire hydrant, but I can’t wait to implement what I’ve learned from this and the other related posts.

Good article Darren. I’ve actually featured you in my presentations as someone who has made blogging work for them (obviously you are probably more famous than most in this world).

Interesting to read your first point on your first thread on this topic. As with anything with online marketing (in fact ANY marketing) it is all about RELEVANCY. Spend your time in the wrong places or being too general, you decrease your chance of success greatly. Carefully pick your targets and work them, you’ve got a much better chance of success!

Keep up the good work.

This is great advice. I have one blog that’s pretty established in the SERPS in a small niche, but now I’m working hard at promoting a new blog in a larger market. I’ve started doing guest posts — both accepting the invites I’ve had and trying to cultivate new blogs. So far the results have been really good, and I’m shooting for one per week in addition to my own content.

I saw your other posts in the series and I think this is one of the most effective of all the techniques. It’s a variation on what you mentioned in the social networking post — thinking of the needs of others first.

Yet it’s not strictly altruistic. Writing for someone else is in a way counter-intuitive, but if done strategically if you point out, it can be quite effective and a win all around.

Thrilled to have the opportunity to guest blog for Liz Strauss – the post ran yesterday.

Really exciting to be published in a space like hers. My topic? De-mystifying PR.| 7 Secrets to Becoming an Expert News Source.

Excellent idea, my blog is a little different to the usual kind of blogs but these tips should really help.

Thanks,

I think it’s a case of stepping outside my comfort zone, I always question that my post is good enough.

When I’ve guest posted once then it won’t seem quite so daunting probably, it’s always the first step that is the hardest.

Saying that I am working on a guest post at the moment because I think it is the best way to get exposure from your niche and get to know other bloggers quickly.
