Today’s Niche Site Tip: Promoting Articles

A lot of people may find find themselves in the same boat that I was in when I started blogging sites dedicated to niches; I was writing good, useful content, but I was not attracting many visitors.

This happens a lot of the time because sites with similar content may have a higher page rank than your newly established sites, and it may be hard to appear before them in the search engines. Below is the process I normally take when I write a new article for one of my sites. It is really just a starting point, as there are many ways to promote your articles, but this method is quick, easy and it works for me.

Following these 6 steps will help get your blog some well deserved attention.

Step 1: Write some Great Content

You want to write informative articles on your site that are related to your niche. This type of content is really what your visitors want, and it is what will keep them coming back.

Step 2: Submit your Article to Reddit.com

Once you sign up for a Reddit account, you’ll be able to post links to them on the site and have thousands of people hopefully check them out. Readers are able to vote your link “up” if it is really good, which will result in more visits.

Reddit also has a high page rank, which means that you’ll get a good backlink from the site.

Step 3: Submit your Article to Digg.com

Digg is a lot like Reddit and you’ll experience the same benefits from posting on this site as well.

My “Digg Links” will almost always show up on the front page of Google when searching for a term directly related to my content. These links will re-direct visitors to the whole article on my site.

Step 4: Submit your blog to Zimbio.com

Zimbio is basically a high ranking article source that will post all of the updates on your blog to its site. In my experience, search engines like Zimbio, and a good amount of content I have written appears high in searches because of Zimbio.

Another great thing about Zimbio is that it will update itself automatically when you post new content on your blog.

Step 5: Submit your blog to BlogoWogo.com

This site shares a lot of similarities with Zimbio. It is also an online “blog directory” that will host small samples of your article which link back to your site.

The update process for this site is also automatic, so once you post a new article on your site BlogoWogo will detect it and display an associated post.

Step 6: Submit your blog to BlogCatalog.com

This is a great way to get your blog content some attention. It will add your blog to a community of others so it can also result in some great link exchange opportunities.

BlogCatalog also displays links to all of your content that you add to your site which helps out in the search engines as well.
