Promoting your Weblog
What is the use of having a blog and nobody is reading it? That is why you need to promote your Weblog. Let people know that you are on the internet with a great blog. The way to do this is by promoting your blog. So take a little time for this because it is very important. The first thing you do should be letting friends and family know that you have your own personal Weblog.
How to promote your blog
Get listed on search engines specially made for blogs. These Web sites list your blog on their sites so you will be exposed to a lot of potential readers. This takes a little time and effort but is very effective. If more Web sites have a link to your site, other search engines such as Google think that you maintain a popular site so they place your blog on their search results pages. You find a list of blog promotion Web sites below.
RSS Feed
Also make sure that the special search engines for blogs know the URL of your RSS feed. An RSS feed is a URL with a piece of code. If people place this URL on their site they automatically see the headlines of your most recent topics on their own site or in their RSS reader. You can get the URL for the RSS feed of your Weblog when you are logged into the blog control panel. This way the regular readers of your blog will automatically know when your site is updated. Letting people know your blog is updated can also be done through www.pingomatic.com. Use this every time you update your blog. The ping function is also available in the blog control panel.
