Yup! I've played around with them some...not enough though to really say if they helped much. I think alot has to do with what niche you're in, but thats just my guess.
Anyone have any experience with social networking traffic that can give us good/bad/ugly about it LOL
Really useful thread!
Anybody..... suggest how to promote a blog?
Promoting a blog...well, ping alot. That helps, get them into the social network sites so people are "digging" you and all those types of things.
Another good resource, if you have a niche and informative site, you may want to submit your blog to Sphere. This is a cool resource. When you get approved by them, your blog post will be shown and many highly credible websites, wall street journal, etc (our is a financial blog) which is awesome. So say, for example, we wrote a post about AIG a financial company...the Wall Street Journal has an article in their online paper about it and at the bottom it says "related articles" or "Blogs" its a pretty cool concept, I mean you could pay big money to advertise on these sites of course, but this way, as long as you write useful posts you can get picked up by them! orth a shot IMHO
