Market your blog

After you have monetized your blog, now is the time to market it agressively. These are some tips which might help:

1. If you have not submitted your blog URL to the major search engines do so now. See point 3 of my previous post.
2. Go to a related discussion forum (search for one using Google), and start participating actively and constructively there. Subtlely market your blog by including the URL in your signature.
3. Browse related blogs (do a search in Blogger), and post comments constructively and actively.
   
4. Make sure your blog is tagged and searchable in Technorati.com. Technorati is basically a search engine for blogs. From within Technorati, monitor the incoming links to your blog. Reciprocate and further market your blog by visiting those blogs/sites and leave constructive comments.
5. If your posts are technical or science-related in nature, visit digg.com and regularly submit the URLs of your posts, with eye-catching titles.
   
6. Ensure that you have a web tracker/counter such as statcounter.com (if you haven't, see my previous post). Then, through the tracker log, monitor where most of your traffic come from. And increase your marketing efforts at those sites. For example, if you notice that you have some traffic coming from a certain discussion forum, this means it is working, and you should increase your participation in that forum.
