Blog Marketing

If you've got a blog (or any other form of website actually, but blogs are what I know about best) then you need to make sure that people actually know that it's there. You've got to market it, that is.

Now there are indeed effective methods that people already know about: leave comments on other blogs, link to others, use trackbacks and so on. But one that people don't in fact use enough is taking advantage of free web directories.

There's a double advantage here: the first is that you will get some traffic, if not all that much, from having an entry in them. But more importantly, you'll also raise your Google Page Rank, and that's the most important thing about how high you'll rank in the search engine. The higher your rank, the more likely your post on Britney Spears' car crash will be on the front page. Or, as this blog's post is on "Dick Cheney's sunglasses" the number one result on Google.

Yes, directories can indeed be very useful to you. Click through that link to find out more.
