Can’t agree more on everything you said. Social networks really does a lot of things, more than the publicity it brings to your blogs, it also gives you the sense of being legit and prove that you really do exist. Seem like a small thing, but to us bloggers, those two things mean a lot, especially if the idea is to get broader traffic as much as you can.

Thankyou for the concise recommendations on blogging for first-timers. I am one of these plus in the dinosaur generation so all of this seems like a different language. The etiquette of blogging and social networking is a mystery until I realize that it’s all about building relationships using an out-dated set of rules called good manners.

Good and usable advice (and it is free too, which is a rarity!). Thanks.

Thanks for the tips, I’ll keep these in mind. I just started a new blog for a company that’s about a year old..we’re focusing on promoting at the moment so this is the kind of thing we need to work on.

Concise, carefully planned, and well-practiced post about blog promotion.

A tip I’d share for any Blogger is to try and define your market. Talk to your target audience in your own voice if like me you’d like to become a “Go-To Person and a Connector”

Pretty useful stuff here. Commenting on other peoples blog is indeed very effective to get yourself noticed and drive traffic to your site.

Also, recently Google launched Google Profile. Just register your details (including your blog/website link) so that when people search Google with your name as the keyword, your Google profile is displayed on the first page of the result.

Thanks for some great ideas. I just started my blog to promote my books and ideas regarding holistic weight and life management. This is based on my experience with loosing over 40 pounds using holistic methods and a variety of other methods. I am also writing a diary. I am more than willing to answer questions and give free advice, though I also offer more involved personal consultations/coachings. Though I am realist and do discuss self-discipline, II always give encouragement as i believe in having a positive approach.
Thank you so much.

Thanks for these great ideas. I will try them with my blog about debt and see if I can get more traffic. What do you think about Message boards? Are they a valid place for links to a blog?

Certainly words for thought. Here I thought that if my thoughts were good and relevant enough, they would mean something to someone out ‘there’ but you’re right – with all the noise – who’s listening if you don’t persuade them to :)

Thanks again! As we Singaporeans like to say, I’ve “waken up my idea”,

Cheers!

This is what I have been looking for. I have been concerned about being too forward with other bloggers, but what’s the worst that can happen? They say no.

I am going to find the relevant sites, be a contributor in their comments and then move into link swaps.

Any suggestions on getting good reciprocal links when my site has such few visitors?

Good article, but getting guests posts are not that easy. You want posts to be aligned with the main theme of your blog and provide value to your readers, not just add junk advertising content.

I was approached multiple times about guest articles for http://www.interviewpattern.com blog and in many cases the article I got was not even close to the content of the site (Interview and job search related topics)

BTW, if you have something to share in this area, I welcome hight quality interview related posts, just shoot me an email on contact@interviewpattern.com

I think the most important part of networking is being realistic!

Remember, you want something out of the relationship and so does the other person, so be straight forward about how you and them can benefit from your networking.

This always helps me see my potential and theirs far better and makes the opportunities more promising.

I know this is a relatively old post. But finding it was a real blessing to me.Last year I lost my Job. Decided to go out on my own. Started my own website developing, design and hosting business. My biggest problem was getting noticed. I had read that blogging really helps build your credentials, but never took that seriously.
But two months ago I really took this seriously. It has made a remarkable improvement in the traffic to my site. It is continuely growing day by day. But not at a rate that I had hoped. There is still that idea of recognition and getting more readership. Coming across this post about networking is a real confidence booster.
I have always been weary of things like Facebook, though it was for kids, but soon realised that it can be a valuable tool. You offer some good points in networking, I’m sure that I will enjoy the rest of the articles in this series

This was the inspiration I have been looking for to take my blog http://www.disneydreaming.com to the next level. We are getting some good traffic but it would be great to reach out to some new bloggers.
