Promote this...

I am at it again, time to get this blog out there.

If you can recall, a couple of weeks ago I posted on this blog about how to promote your blog and what steps I had done for mine. To start with, I signed up with Weblogs.com and Blogdigger.com. These sites update their directories every time I post, giving searchers of those sites an opportunity to catch my blog.

I then linked my site to my email signature, and watched my responses/comments climb. This helped show my bosses, family, and intern-manager who I was, and what I was doing with my time.

I topped it off with tons of Word-of-Mouth promoting and filling my social networks with my link (AIM, FaceBook, etc).

Today, I tried a new technique, simply respond to my peers and fellow bloggers. With my classmates, I spent time reading through several blogs, commenting on the posts that I found most interesting. I also checked outside sites/blogs and emailed several people about their input on certain matters at hand. Forrester's Marketing Blog was a site I visited and commented on.

Commenting on blogs not only allows you to check out what other people are saying, but it also leaves room for you to drop your URL. This is a great way for the authors to spend a little time at your blog in return. In fact, it also keeps you more involved with the entire social network of blogging, and the more your involved, the more known your blog will be.
