As a blogger it is really important to be with social sites or even events. To let other know know about you and your website. Optimizing in search engine is really an effective way to drive traffic to your site.
I think it depends of blogers. Certain like to share ideas and discussions with the readers, some others don’t so..
I’m discovering the power of social media for promoting a blog. Twitter in particular is great. And there’s another site like it that looks good called Amplify. Definitely worth checking out.
Offline marketing can also be effective. One of the most unusual examples of this I’ve seen was a blog URL written in chalk on the pavement. Must have been seen by thousands of people before it was worn down by all the foot traffic!
First two is important but I like the way you have explain 3rd point. Thanks for an excellent post.
search engine on top any then , then socialize with the people who come from search engines , coz they are interested people
I love the social media marketing strategy. The most important things for marketing through social media is to build brand there.
Yup, bloggers do need to market the site and him/herself. The more competitions there are, the harder it is to get noticed. Here are some basic but very useful tips for all of us. Time to re-examine our blogging plan, starting today. Thanks, Pradeep.
