Some good ideas, although I am not sure about MySpace. Personally I don’t think it’s the right platform for promoting Blog posts of business related posts.

Hi Sheryl, I’ll have to check out that ‘bookmarking machine’. Forums are something I need to concentrate more on because they have a great track record and it’s a perfect way to build our network of friends.

Hey Brian & others,
I have been TRYING to comment on more blogs. For one I love reading them so, I am there already and if I can add something then great!I do not get accused of leaving comments such as ‘nice post’. Even if you wish I did. :0

Twitter does bring in some hits. It just depends on who your followers are. A huge number of followers does not mean that any of them care what you are doing.

I also do the ‘mini post’ on forums and social networking sites in the blog area.

I just started using Bookmarking and will be doing that with more post. In fact I will be sending this article into the ‘bookmarking machine’.

FriendFeed does bring in a few hits if you have interesting titles.

Most of all – I am excited that some of my articles are getting super great hits from the SE’s. I am still practicing on getting good keyword phrases an using them in titles and articles while still making a useful post.

I forgot that it was you with LowLifeSpammer.com – I loved that. I remember editing spam on our old board with that. LOLZ!

Hi Tom, it sound’s like blog commenting is the first choice among a lot of us, including me. Relevant and constructive are exactly right. It’s hard to believe anyone gets by with “Nice site” and simple comments like that. It’s one way to show they didn’t bother reading a single word.

Just between you and me, back in my evil days I use to have a site setup just to humiliate those people. It was LowLifeSpammer.com (now offline) and I would edit their comments and change their site URL to LowLifeSpammer.com. It was on my forums back then but the same principle.

Hi Brian, I would have to choose blog commenting as the most effective way of promoting your blog, especially if you can deep link to a relevant post on your own blog.

When it comes to commenting, relevant and constructive comments are always appreciated and get approved a lot easier than “nice post” or “thanks for sharing”.

As you pointed out, blog commenting is a fantastic way of building relationships with other bloggers.

Hi Rob, Twitter is very popular. Good call. I’m glad you found my other site. I’m following you on Twitter now but I’m not very good at it.

I’ve been having a fair bit of luck with using Twitter to promote new posts or changes on the site. It’s nothing Earth shattering, mind you, but there has been a mild uptick in traffic since I started tweeting about 3-4 weeks ago.

The great thing about comments as well is that the promotion tends to yield results quicker. I find that article based promotion tends to kick in after more of a lag (if at all, of course).

That’s a very good point Jessie. I agree completely but still recommend article marketing.

Most probably you used the wrong ids that didn’t match those on your comment.php. I’ve sent Andy a note anyway.
