Do You Want Free Advertising Space?

Why pay for advertising space when you can advertise for free?

The word "Blog" is short for Web Log and is defined as an on-line journal, although they can be used for a variety of purposes.

Blogs are generally personal articles written by anyone who wants to publish something for the world to see. They can be news, opinions, product reviews, messages or anything else as long as it's your own work and it doesn't promote anything illegal (Check the T&C of the particular site). Most blogs are mainly text, but sometimes they include photos, artwork, videos and sound. After your particular blog is published, readers have the ability to leave comments interactively.

If used correctly, blogs can be a great way to advertise and promote your business and/or website for free. Popular blogging sites draw in millions of potential customers every day and there are plenty to choose from.

7 ways to ensure your blog is successful:

1. Make sure your blogs have a good title, this is very important as it often decides the success or failure of the blog. Asking a question in the title is one good way of attracting interest, Eg. Are you lonely? Discover a brand new dating experience.

2. Make sure your blog is well written, as unique as possible, to the point and try to be entertaining. Good quality blogs gain your readers respect.

3. Keep your blogs up to date and write new ones regularly.

4. Don't oversell your product as this has a negative effect. Write about your chosen subject, then briefly describe how your product can assist.

5. Place comments about other peoples blogs relevant to your product.

6. Ask questions in your blog to encourage people to place comments.

7. Publish to as many popular blogging sites as possible for maximum exposure, see below for more information about how to achieve this.
