There wouldn’t be too many bloggers writing today who didn’t have a rudimentary idea of how to promote their blog on the web. These ideas all fit into a nice little package called SEO, or Search Engine Optimization. Some of these ideas bloggers use may include;

1. Commenting on other blogs, especially do-follow blogs
2. Submitting the blog to RSS, blog and other directories
3. Signature links in emails
4. Being generous with your link luv
5. Using Social Media such as Twitter, Digg, StumbleUpon etc.
6. Submitting Free articles
7. Being an active member in Forums using the blog link as a signature
8. Using the right keyword and phrases
9. Making sure that a google sitemap is active ensuring the blog is fully indexed
10. Supplying good content, because all of the above is useless if a blog’s content is not good enough to capture the readers interest so that they come back for more.

There are many other ways but I’ve only mentioned some of the free methods available to bloggers for the promotion of their blogs.

I would like to talk a little bit more about submitting your blog to article directories. This is pretty well an untapped resource for many bloggers. These directories are not just a resource where you can Find Free content, as submitting your own articles, complete with a link to your blog, is a great way of blog promotion, especially if you’re supplying great content. Apart from the SEO advantages, people reading the articles are very likely to visit your blog just to see what other great content you have available.
