You have wrote an awesome post and it’s starting to feel that no one’s paying attention on it. No comments, no retweets on your blog posts.
Let’s face it, there’s no sense in creating a blog that only you are going to read. You need traffic, which in turn will turn into commentators, subscribers, which in turn will make your blog more successful.
If you are looking to promote your blog posts on your blog more effectively, here are 5 ways to promote your blog posts:
1. Social bookmarking sites
One of the most easiest way to get targeted traffic. It is really a great way to boost traffic, backlinks, marketing to your blog. I usually submit my blog posts to BlogEngage, Sphinn and MMOSocialNetwork.
More bookmark links of your blog posts means more popularity of your blog posts.
Here are 30+ Inspirational Social Bookmarking Sites.
PS. For Blogegnage you have to be invited to be part of the community.
2. Discussion Forums
You have to actively get involved in discussions and try to be as resourceful as possible, most of the discussion forums allow you to post links in your signature these links help you to drive visitors to your site. I usually active on Digital Point and warrior Forums.
Digital Point also allows you to put up your own blog posts as threads.
You can find forum that suits your niche on BigBoards, this site lists hundreds of forums arranged according to categories and traffic.
3. Blog commenting
It is very effective method for getting traffic to your blog posts. Commenting on related blogs is one of my favorite way to drive targeted traffic, backlinks. I usually comment on some blogs such as FamousBloggers, Problogger, Dailyblogtips and techcrunch, which are all related to my niche. The more you interact with the blogger, the more they’ll notice you.
Take the time to leave a useful comment often enough, don’t just write “nice post” or “thanks”. Keep in mind spamming will only hurt your blog.
4. Newsletter
Are you building mailing list on your blog and you’ve written a killer blog post, then include a link to it in your next newsletter. Doing this will drive traffic but also signal to your readers that it’s a Killer post that you feel deserves their attention. If you not have a mailing list, than start building it now.
5. Social media
It’s simply an incredible viral means to drive a large amount of sustainable traffic to any website over a period of time.
One of the best ways to succeed on Social media is to get really involved. It was built for genuine people who want to talk as humans and make connections.
I try to submit every article to social media websites like Twitter, Digg, Delicious.

Hi Devesh,
Well getting involved in this 100 blog contest has really given my blog exposure and an increase in traffic. Blog commenting really does work, ok so people may think I don’t want to spend hours looking through peoples blog and leaving comments. But it so much more as you can interact with other marketers and get some great ideas from others.
Yes I use all of your traffic sources but not really as much as I should. One more I would like to add to get traffic and backlinks is through Press Release.
Cheers

An excellent summary Devesh, you’ve made me realise I need to get on to some forums. I’ve had a look at the Warrior forum, but didn’t do anything with it. If we took action on all your five steps, nobody would have any problems with getting traffic.

Hey Devesh
Excellent post. Your 5 points are a great resource to get things going when it comes to traffic generation. I am fairly new to blogging so I found your ideas very helpful. Have you you discovered any good forums for sharing ideas for online marketing it is always good to meet new people? Out of the 5 points that you listed which do you consider to be the most important point to implement? Also is there any easy way to move the side bar on your blog as I had difficulty reading all the text.

Hi Devesh, you have mentioned it all, from Social Bookmarking to Social media.Those tips are more than enough to promote a blog post.Though I would like to add some particular sites in that list.
I think you should promote your post at ‘Blog Catalog Community’.It works.You will definitely get some long time readers from there.
Now you have mentioned Twitter but I would also like to mention another site i.e. Friendfeed.It a wonderful community and you may easily get readers and friends there too.

I think your list is an excellent help: I do have to say I haven’t tried the newsletter promotion yet, and I don’t think I want to. Despite all the success stories I’ve heard online about starting a newsletter and getting people from their e-mail account, I’m not convinced that’s the way to go.
Melvin mentioned in another post that he might comment on 100-150 blogs a day. That actually makes more sense to me: engage the Web, see if things will work out.

The important thing, I am finding, is that you have to be active on the social bookmarking sites you are submitting your blog to. It’s kind of the same idea as forums: if you’re only writing about your own blog, it’ll be a turnoff, but if you are generous in sharing other people’s content and interacting with their content, the law of reciprocity will reward you down the road.

Very good tips.
Be careful in forums – each one has a different opinion about what self promotion is – even following one admin’s instructions about adding a link to your signature could get you banned by another one. I like Digital Point, PromoJunkie, Bloggeries, and Dream Team Money, all of which actually appreciate having people who know what they’re talking about share information, as opposed to some of the others.
And when it comes to social bookmarking sites like Sphinn, just be sure that your post fits in their categories, otherwise it will get removed (or not receive enough votes to make it to the first page).

Do this in particular on the community that relates to your topic and if they have comluv enabled, all the better
*Agreed with you here Kristi. People should really be careful in forums as there are those who do not understand if one is sharing simply good information. I have encountered some certain difficulties at WarriorForum and your advice is duly noted.

All great tips Devesh, thanks for the BigBoards mention, never heard of it.
I use these techniques plus a few different pinging services: pingomatic.com and zimbio.com. Zimbio has been good to me. More than a few cash gifting articles have topped google for months on end after pinging on zimbio. It’s a keeper.
