Bloggers (especially newer bloggers) are always learning when it comes to promoting your blog, and on the lookout for the most effective methods. The vast majority of bloggers will never spend money advertising their blog – good, keep it in your pocket, don’t waste it. Today I’m going to let you in on some simple blog promotion tips for getting your blog out there, and all it requires is for you to be a little selfless and get your focus off of promoting your own blog and onto promoting others. There are plenty of ‘little guys’ in the blogging world, you may very likely be one of them – and that’s okay – we all have to start somewhere. If you want to get your name out there, the best trick in the world is to promote other blogs.
You’ve likely heard about how commenting on other blogs can build backlinks and is an effective way of getting your blog out there. (Good news, by the way! Info Carnivore is now also a Comment Luv, Do Follow blog – so leaving a comment here with your most recent post attached to your comment is one way of promoting yourself!) 
How To Promote Your Blog
Comments are perhaps one of the most effective ways of promoting a new blog since it is virtually guaranteed to get noticed… at least by the blog owner! But having a blog owner on your side is a big deal as blog owners have influence and reach, and can help you get your name out there even more than you can on your own. And this is what makes blogging so great, is how bloggers stick together and support one another. Even though there is competition, it is friendly, and there’s enough space on the web for everyone. Yes, even you can offer something unique. There are literally thousands of articles that offer blog promotion tips, many of which say the same things. I’m not necessarily offering you an idea that’s never been mentioned before… what I am offering you that is unique is the idea that you must change your attitude when it comes to promoting your own blog. Too many blog owners are pre-occupied with themselves and end up getting frustrated over a lack of increased traffic from all the promotion methods they’re trying.
There are a lot of simple things you can do!
- Visit other blogs & leave a comment (don’t be picky and look only for comment luv blogs, go everywhere – especially similar niches!)
- Retweet the post (be sure to include the authors twitter username in your Tweet!)
- Stumble the post (yeah, hit that thumbs up button!)
- Share it on facebook (and like it too!)
- Submit it to a social network (like Blog Engage, Serpd, DoFollow Luv etc…)
- Vote for it when you see it on other networks.
- Network with the blogger! Make a point of following them on twitter, stumble, digg and other social networks. Follow me on twitter, here.
My point is this, if you are intentional about promoting others content, then those people will take notice! In turn they will begin promoting your content. When you go at it with the right attitude, and you find quality content and make a point of helping spread the word, people thank you by doing the same for you in return. It’s the simple axiom “give and you will receive”.
What Else Can Be Done?
The above list is far from complete. There is much more that you can do to help out a fellow blogger. What additional thoughts do you have? Here’s your chance to leave a comment.

I’ve never played favorites with blog commenting. Page Rank, Comment Luv plugin or not, doesn’t matter to me. I’ll comment anywhere and everywhere. It’s about joining the conversation. If you have something valuable to add, why would you let something silly stop you?

Insightful Daniel.
I think past the social media spectrum in open public, you can even do more by emailing and discussing strategies to create a win-win for each other. People could even help by citations or linking to popular articles on other blogger’s website.

I agree. Actually I’ve given some thought to this, and want to make a point of connecting one on one with more bloggers. I feel something could be developed kind of an agreed upon sort of network where by bloggers promote and support one another. What do you think?
Twitter: danielsnyder1
#5 by Ajay on November 2, 2010 - 3:20 am
I agree..
Although this network would require a lot of thought because cross promiting will need to be dependent on the amount of value a user will get from one another.. Why would a blogger with PR5 promote a relatively new blogger ?

“Why would a blogger with PR5 promote a relatively new blogger?” ? … because they didn’t always have PR5 and they know their own influence. When you give selflessly like that you will get it in return, affecting the little guys will help you reap the rewards, pretty soon you’ll be PR6! It’ll happen!
Twitter: danielsnyder1
#7 by Ajay on November 3, 2010 - 3:32 pm
Yes
However think about the number of users that will jump on the bandwagon – most serving average to mediocre content.
Remember a blogger will only help others if he himself sees value into promoting. Relatively a blogger may once in a while promote a lower read blogger but to have this happen frequently will need a kick of an incentive for them.
But I love the idea.Need to put a lot of thought here.

This tactic does seem to deliver a good rate of visibility.
And I love what Daniel says about bloggers promoting other bloggers – totally agree!

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the link love!
You’re definitely spot on with the message here. Commenting is quickly becoming the non-paying way to introduce quality traffic to your site, especially if you blog.
As a blogger myself, I find that if there is an article I like, I’ll want to contribute my thoughts as well. Mostly to also introduce it to my friends and readers because it gives them different ways to think about their blogging.
So to treat it as a social platform is definitely the way to go. After all, you’re not writing to yourself. You’re writing to hear what your friends or visitors can also converse with – dofollow or not.

Thanks for the feedback, it’s encouraging to know others share my point of view. Blogging can be so selfish sometimes – it’s all about promoting me – that when you take on that attitude even with blog commenting, I question: why are you commenting? Is it just to say something so you can get a comment luv link? That’s silly. That’s not blogging! Good for you being social, and sharing – you’ll go far with that attitude.

Hello Daniel,
Great Post as always ! I agree with you. I didn’t really promote others till this year (I wrote a lot of articles advising others to do it, but I didn’t really do it). This year, I realized that I had to start doing it. Ever since I started promoting others, all stats are going up (traffic rank, subscriber count).
I would rate this as an excellent read both for a newbie and an upcoming blogger. Anyway, Thanks for the wonderful post.

Not so long- I’ve posted similar post on Bloggers Talks (http://bloggers.com/talks). It’s nice to see the same tone here. That’s the way to promote- Give. It gets back to you, too. Only takers doesn’t last long.
I’m a bit surprised too, not seeing Bloggers on your list. Since I’ve found this blog through that network.
Personally I don’t care “dofollow” or “nofllow” (true or not everyone would label same line here!), I’ve a funny round of haiku along with my thoughts about this on my blog.
Reality is, if you want pro bloggers to stop by on your Blog- whatever they say, they wont do much when you’ve less to none of those “promoter” tools like commentluv. That’s funny and it’s how major professional bloggers act in blogsphere, doesn’t matter how good the content is.
I’ve found it’s more pleasing to connect with personal or non-pro bloggers since they only care the person and your content, promotional goodies less important to them. When blog to making money off from it, people learn this sooner or later, eventually they started acting same, you know- keeping with the wind.
#25 by Daniel Snyder on November 2, 2010 - 5:40 am
You know I like bloggers.com and I do spend a little time there, but I’m not that active (yet), and I’ve not really utilized it for a whole lot of purposes other than more or less a directory listing. I do find it to be a friendly network however, and simply wasn’t one that is (yet) driving a lot of traffic. But it makes me happy that you found me there! So, that in itself makes it a top notch network.
I agree, about connecting with the personal bloggers vs. the pro guys. After all do the pro guys even reply to their comments anymore?
Twitter: danielsnyder1
#26 by Moonomo on November 19, 2010 - 3:43 pm
Thanks Daniel. Twitter doesn’t driving much traffic for me yet. I do spend time on twitter, because I love the way of communication and this letting me to meet new people eventually. I know if I push and use the “tricks” it will bring traffic too. I will when I look for unknown visitors.
My point is, when you promote your blog, you need to keep up with better Bloggers- not only through your link and counting which network or which blogger brings most of the ‘traffic’ for you.
On the other hand, whenever you connect yourself with some network, you should take time (based on your schedule off course) to respond who promote you on the network whether you not-so-active or not. Otherwise the whole influence won’t go in to right direction at all. That’s a mistake, most of the bloggers do, and they miss that “potential traffic” along with the chance they get to know wider audience.
My 2 cents.
#27 by Daniel Snyder on November 20, 2010 - 1:33 pm
It does take a lot of work to build a solid twitter network – and the growth potential is virtually unlimited. You’re right about responding to, and acknowledging those who promote you. I tend to fall short in this area from time to time (as you know!)
… but I’m working on it. Thanks for your 2 cents, they’re worth more than that! LOL

#28 by Daniel Sharkov on November 2, 2010 - 11:45 am
Hi Daniel,
A great post and one that beginners in blogging should definitely take a look at. By promoting others you are actually promoting yourself in an indirect way. Retweeting, commenting and voting are the most basic set of things you can do for other bloggers. Those might turn just enough to gain you some recognition. And still doing them just for the sake of getting traffic is something I wouldn’t do. I am retweeting something only if I feel like it is worth the retweet. Same is valid for commenting and I personally don’t care whether a blog is a dofollow or a nofollow one. If the content is worth a comment, then I’ll comment. It’s always a good thing to get a backlink or two nevertheless – no argue about it.

#34 by Suresh Khanal@seo mmo tips on November 4, 2010 - 8:03 am
I agree with you whole heartedly. I strongly believe:
“What goes around comes around”
in its true essence. I have always received lot of reflections of whatever I do in Internet. I comment on lots of blog, so many friends visit my blog to comment. I vote many friends, so many vote for me as well. That is the rule of thumb.
When I comment on any blog, I don’t look notice if it is dofollow or not, if it is pr 10 or 0. If something impresses me, I leave comment.
It is very necessary to promote the post you comment. If everybody who comment on a post it is very possible that the post will rank higher. The blog owner is benefited no doubt, but have you thought that your links on comment are getting good value. you are getting some share from that post. If the post is ranked very low you will get low value back to you and vice versa!
After all blogging is not to collect and keep everything with yourself. Selfish people can’t stand long in this cooperative society.
Thanks Daniel for the wonderful post. You’ve written the well known topic in really interesting way!

Good article Dan. I’ve recently begun to promote the articles I enjoy on various blogs, and I’ve found that it does drive traffic to my site.
I also think to do so is a nice reward to the writer of the article for taking the time to write the article in the first place, kind of a way to say “thank you” for the effort.

I most of the time do all those things that you mentioned i.e. if I am not a lot busy. Even if I am busy, I do try to give a small amount of time to blog commenting and retweeting, resharing others post. Sometimes it becomes hard to maintain that due to my full time job but still I think it is a great way of maintaining a good relationship with bloggers in your niche.

Cos I am in a small niche it is one way to get my blog out there. Finding that the more I interact with other bloggers the more I become a part of this amazng blogging community. Also if I tweet a post I have read I do what you suggest and say thanks….blog owner’s name. Just the little things that I would do if I was speaking face to face. I would use a person’s name so why wouldn’t I use their name on Twitter. I don’t bother about PR or Alexa, just comment good posts that have been helpful. We all start somewhere and us newbies need vistors and comments too. Thanks for sharing Daniel.

Hey Patricia, thanks again for commenting here! Yeah it’s important for bloggers to support one another… early on in a blog’s life I think that a vast majority of support and comments will come from other bloggers – as your blog grows (of course depending on it’s niche), it will begin to get traffic from the real consumers – those outside the blogging world … Being obsessed with stats is never healthy, so when you say you don’t bother yourself with Alexa than I think that is A-OKAY… it’s not the bottom line (right now), so why worry about it?

Great advice Daniel. My niche is poetry and I come across others along side me who ask how to get more people to read and comment on their site. I always ask them the question “How many blogs have you read and commented on?” The answer is usually none. I have tweeted many times before “You have to be supportive in order to get supported” And that reigns true. Unless you are famous, no one knows about your blog. So you must reach out and let them know you are there. Commenting on blogs in your niche as well as those that you just love is a great way to promote yourself as well as be supportive. I found that majority of my readers are from referring sites, blogs I have commented on. That’s proof it works.

I comment on blogs every day, and make a point of doing so… but I still overlook bloggers and miss posts that I wish I had seen/commented on!

GASP doesn’t “catch” and hold spam like Akismet, if the box isn’t checked it just doesn’t go through. If the box is checked it does. So in that sense you still need to look at your own comment folder and ensure that the comments are legit. 90% of comments I get are good to go. Thanks for asking!

I absolutely agree. On twitter, 90% of my tweets are promoting my followers as well as blogs I run across like this one. I only promote myself when I have a new blog post and even then, I only tweet the link one or two times. The result is I get a lot of follow backs and my stuff gets favorited and retweeted often.At this point, many of my followers know they can feel free to ask me for a retweet and I know if I ever need the favor returned I can ask for help as well. Some people forget that twitter is a community that they’ll never be part of if they make it all about them.
