How To Get More Free Promotion For Your Blogger Blog
Did you know that Blogger is actually limiting your ability to
get visitors to your blog?
That's right. Although it's free and provides a great service,
there is one thing that Blogger could do for you to make it even
better. But, as they don't do that, you're about to learn how to
do it yourself.
Buried deep within the Blogger settings is an option called
"Notify Weblogs.com", which is described as "Weblogs.com is a
blog update notification service that many individuals and
services use to track blog changes."
(Note: this update notification service normally called
"pinging" - Blogger "pings" Weblogs.com with the update to your
site).
This is one way your blog is promoted each time you create a new
post - Weblogs.com lists your post's title, the time it was
updated, and a link back to your blog. In return, there is a
chance that the search engines find that link and then find your
blog. Once they find your blog, they'll start to index all the
pages and list them somewhere in the search engines.
Notice I said "there is a chance...". Go visit Weblogs.com and
take a look at the time that the first post was submitted, and
the time of the last one was submitted. If you're lucky, there
are about 5 minutes between the two of them.
Which means you're post will
be listed for 5 minutes, and then
it'll drop off the bottom of the list.
That's not long for the search engines to find your link, is it?
So how can you improve the odds?
Simple - submit to more sites like Weblogs.com. There are dozens
(at the time I write this, about 50-60) well-known sites like
Weblogs.com that list blog entries submitted to them.
50-60. And yet Blogger only submits to one of them.
So how can you submit your blog URL to the other 50-69 sites?
Simple. Each time you update your blog, visit
http://www.pingoat.com or http://www.pingomatic.com, and enter
the name and URL of your blog in the form. Then select the sites
that you want to be informed of your update. Pingoat and
Pingomatic will then contact those sites on your behalf (and for
free) to let them know about your updates.
That's it.
Start doing that on a regular basis, and you'll start to see
more traffic to your blog.
