But Mit, I am still learning and my background is in computers. I don't have a whole lot of experience in writing. I do believe that most people who are currently good at writing good content, probably did not start out that way. I am just going to have to do the baby step thing here. As long as I practice, I will get better; I promise.

Try to search topic that is related to yours then rephrase it. Start first with rephrasing other article until you can get idea on how to write your own.

Isn't that umm... illegal. Or at very least highly unethical?

i think the best way to promote your blog is to submit it to blog search sites and directories then put your blog in your sig, link to other blog, social bookmarking and most of all be an active commenter...

Check out the book Promoting Your Podcast. It's pretty good and informative.

Content and backlinks. Those are the keys.

great info guys. i do directory submission and link exchange to promote my blogs. but of course, i good content is the most important thing for your visitors to visit your site again.

[Pinkfly]

You're right leciram and also make sure to update your blog at least every other day and don't forget to Ping your blog coz it create some connection to other update services to let them know that your blog has been updated.

You better have a strong blog, high PR, and tons of visitors if you plan to make money blogging.

I guess sometimes being in a highly specific is tough. Hard to kind of write about the same thing over.

Do not only rely on submissions, also update your blog content frequently for you to grab more visitors to your site.

Yes you're exactly right... In addition, just make your blog eye-catching and enjoyable to read. Make the content informative to let the reader stays longer on your blog.

These are some great ideas! I know I like to read "How to" posts in subjects I'm interested in.

Another good way to promote your blog is to submit you RSS feed to RSS sites like feedburner

The topic you choose to blog about should be something you are passionate about. One of the things that can make or break your blog is the content. The content of you blog should be unique. You want to write for your readers. Also, since most people who cruise the internet do not necessarily read everything that gets posted, most people tend to scan web pages. Therefore, you need to be mindful of headers and subheaders in yoru content. Another thing to watch for, which should be obvious, is your spelling and punctuation. Also, make sure that your topic is interesting and useful to people. Don't want to bore them to death with mundane discussions on topics that are uninteresting. Lastly, spend some time researching the topic prior to writing it.

It’s a very simple tip that will take few seconds to implement, and can really benefit you in the long run. First of all, upload an avatar to your Technorati profile. Many, many site authors who ping Technorati do not have an avatar. When a Technorati reader is scanning through with pages of blog headlines, the avatars are so few and far between that the blog posts that are came with by them really jump out at you.

digg is congested ( you need 40 diggs to be popular) , so you may like to post your article which has better chance of getting "popular" eg [link removed]
