In this post we will see how to promote our blog, not only between social networks, but Blogs listings. We also try to find simple formulas in order to increase traffic on your blog, not only through everyday actions, but in simple configurations that are going to ensure the visits.

We start with the decision between a blog or another. I've opted for Blogger, by the ease of their workforce, and because I see many blogs choose this option. But know posterous.com Hey, I have not started using it, but they say that one of its advantages is that you can redirect the blog to other blogs, with the strong possibility that can generate traffic to your blog. But I'll leave this option for a future publication, as I have tried to create an account on posterous and I get error.
When promoting your blog, initially it is best to promote it on social networks. The effort that costed you to build your relationships social network can be rewarded with your blog promotion. Obviously, depending on the information you're going to put on the blog, you can promote it in some networks or in others. If you are creating a blog about financial topics , do not consider including this information on Facebook, but it may be of great interest to have it both in LinkedIn and Twitter (see my article as LinkedIn link with Twitter, so that all twits appear in LinkedIn). Also, if you use Windows Live Writer as an editor for our blog, share the entries in Windows Live.
Among social networks, there are professional ones like LinkedIn, Twitter, Viadeo, Xing, Flickr (if the blog is photography, travel, etc..) While among the "less" professionals could include Facebook, Myspace, and endless more. Of course, do not forget Google +, and always give google + button and share each post you publish.
On the other hand, you can activate the site feed, when someone subscribes to a feed from a blog from your news reader, it is more than likely read your posts. Moreover, if you have interesting files or work you've created in college, etc.., Try to be downloadable only if they are discharged into the feed of your blog. In this way, the possibilities are multiplied. If you download a file that interests them, probably interested in the topic of the blog, so that many of the publications that command them will interest you and enter.
If you created your blog with Blogger, add your blog to Blogger lists. When added, our blog will appear on "Next Blog", "recently updated Blogs", etc.. It's one more way to increase traffic to your blog.
Submit your URL address directories and sites dedicated to the search for blogs. In places like Technorati, users are constantly looking at blogs content. Sites like Technorati, Blogcritics and Popdex among others.
If you use Blogger, Wordpress or Technorati Tags added complement Creator, a tool that automatically generates labels based on the content of your blog.
If you work with Blogger, configure it to perform pings. By enabling this option, your blog will be included in various lists of "recently updated blogs".
Include your blog URL in your email signature.
Post entries regularly. The more you do, the more readers you will have.
Post comments on blogs you're visiting, always call bloggers curiosity, so they can visit your blog.
Have you thought about participating in a blog contest? Well, who knows, maybe one day your blog is so interesting that to win prizes! For now, it is worth for you to participate and vote for your blog. You just start, and you will not get many points, but hey, your blog is well worth your own vote!
And finally, essential, installs a statistic to analyze traffic to your blog, as Google Analytics, and thus know the topics that are of interest to the general public. Nothing like good statistics about your blog to learn to know what they are looking for others.
