Four Things You Should Not Do To Promote Your Blog

Why only 4? There are many more, of course. But I wanted to highlight those that may be counterproductive, especially in the long run if made on a regular basis. These practices are so few reported profits for the purpose of promotion is not really worth the effort or attempt. Some of them may even harm your reputation online. I think we made all these mistakes at some point, and nothing happens if we correct the only stop committing. But as soon as possible.

Leave your blog address as "signature" in the comments: often a common mistake for beginners. Redundancy is a very popular because, after all, almost all comment systems allow you to leave your web address, which will link to your name. Put your blog you will see it as a beginner or someone who intends to give too much visibility to your blog. It seems that the equivalent of the child, pulling the jacket of his mother, tirelessly repeated in a toy store: "So buy, buy, buy."

YES -> Leave your address in the box provided for comments.

Request link exchange: "I put you on my blogroll and you put me on yours, okay?". O "I put your advertising on my blog and you put mine in yours." In the first case, an appeal is unsuccessful because many bloggers are aware that part of your blogroll reflects his personality, his tastes and interests, so you do not see it as a box where to put anything. In the second, if that is your interest, you must go beyond the phrase "do a link exchange." If you're interested in that exchange of truth, beyond the simple test their luck, turn to a more formal blogger, proposing to make the exchange, he will win, why you want to appear on your blog and why you? may be interested in appearing yours, etc. And always, with custom text, no emails "type", which just change the name of the recipient (or worse, you use a generic).

YES -> Simple: do not do it. If you want to put advertising on a blog, pays for it, or do it by offering something to the author (for example, write a post every so often, design services ...). If you want to put advertising on your blog, offers affordable, according to your traffic, or trade that also served as advertising writing, design, etc.. Above all, do so personalized and targeted, not a way of sending spam emails to see if anyone agrees.

Syndicate content of your blog via e-mail: who has not asked, of course. There are bloggers who are dedicated to "drop" their items from time to time in your inbox. And this simply because, on occasion, exchanged emails with him or your address was immersed in these chains sent by someone known to use the Bcc box. If you do, you will most likely end up being your emails marked as spam.

YES-> equal to or more than the above: do not do it. It is still spam, and therefore, beyond the annoying quality of what you write.

Leave feedback for simple system: it is well known that the comments of a blog is a good place to advertise, but this method is usually effective if the message is left to say anything more than a simple "Congratulations for your post. Very well said. " Lmao!!! The comments do not serve as a promotion just because you leave your address there, but because its contents, if interesting, may lead readers to your blog.
