I actually liked your blog -- and the blog design theme you selected is great. There is a huge market out there for your topic, so continue developing your content to improve readership of your blog

Here are some ways you can get the word out and promote your blog

1. Create great content â€“ everything starts with great content. Think 'Linkbait" -- or writing about stuff that would be so great that people will want to link to you. It can be a news hook where you write about something that is contrary to what everyone else is saying; resource hook where you have the only information available or humor hook.

Then submit to social bookmarking sites such as Digg, StumbleUpon, del.i.cious and others

2. Update the content regularly â€“ make your visitors come back again and again to your blog by providing daily updates (even multiple posts per day!)

3. Submit your blog to blog directories such as

Technorati http://www.technorati.com/ping.html

4. Network with other bloggers â€“ comment on their blogs, read and link to other blogs and request them to link back to you

5. Email other bloggers â€“ pitch your post to other bloggers and hope that they will link or mention your blog

6. Use techniques to showcase your blog â€“ examples include meme games such as the Daily Meme http://thedailymeme.com/ or carnivals http://blogcarnival.com/bc/

7. You can try pay per click programs such as Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords or Yahoo Search Marketing http://searchmarketing.yahoo.c... â€“ though the key is to carefully track your ROI and which keywords actually perform well

8. Make sure your blog is indexable by the search engines - and make sure that your titles have great keywords that your target audience are most likely to use

9. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

10. Submit articles with your blog posts. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.

I'm not really into blogs and all that stuff, but yours seems nice. It must take a lot of your time. I believe it's a constructive hobby. Good for you. Keep it up. And hope you get a rockin' birthday next June. If I get any ideas for it, I'll make sure to visit your blog and share them with you. Hope I'm invited ;-)
Good Luck.

Hi, Natalie Rose!

You need to have your blog VERY targeted. That basically means that you need to write about certain subjects, etc.

That way, you can attract a CERTAIN group of people there.

So here are some generic tips:

1. Become an expert on the subject.
Most people are not doing this, so you'll have an edge up. Start marketing yourself in forums, chatrooms, and blogs as an expert on whatever your website's subject is. Find out why your product, service, or website is better than anyone else's. (Then tell other people that!)

2. Give away tons of free samples of your product.
With online websites, it's really easy to find 100000 websites that sell or do the same thing. Make people able to TRUST your website by giving away your product for free, and then by having people write back in and saying how well it's worked for them. Otherwise, they won't trust you, and they'll just leave.

3. Come up with, and market, your USP.
(Unique Selling Point) You need to show people why you're better than anyone else!Anyways, I hoped this helped. This stuff is just the TIP of the iceberg of marketing!

Good luck!

-Andy

P.S. (Just a thought) I just published a free book you can find at my website called "How to Start Your Own Online Vending Machine From Scratch In 10 Easy Steps" - it might help you out..

(It has some really good marketing tips in!)

You could email enquiries@txtdon.com and see if they can help.

Here's an idea to make it more appealing:
Don't tell people you like Rosie Odonnell's opinion.

I will never visit your blog again.

* INTERNATIONAL ONLINE COMMUNITY WHERE U CAN BLOG AND CREATE ATTRACTIVE PROFILES TO SHOW WORLDWIDE (advertise in ur blogs):

http://r.yuwie.com/scorpionelyyours

* USE PTC SITE TO REDEEM UR EARNING INTO FREE ADS:

http://bux.to/?r=Bux2register

* A FACEBOOK OF LINKS, this site is new, U SIGN UP FOR FREE THEN ADD UR SITE, DESCRIBE IT AND RATE IT, GIVE UR URL LINK and SEE REFERRALS AND CLIENTS GET INTO U for FREEEEEE:

http://www.zion5.com/?a=scorpio

* WORLDWIDE ABSTRACTS IN MORE THAN 30 LANGUAGES!! WRITE AN ABSTRACT AND PUBLISH IT IN ANY LANGUAGE U WANT AND MAKE ALL PEOPLE WORLDWIDE READ IT AND GO TO UR SITE FOR FREE:

No offense...but it's nothing that 99% of the rest of the country doesn't already write about. Sure they might seem interesting to you but I personally feel that more important issues are going on. Although it's great to hear that Hanson might tour again..and who doesn't love seeing someone dance around to Britney spears.

Also American Idol is fake. Half of the people don't actually even get to see Simon or Paula yet they make it seem like they do.

Honestly Instead of TV show reviews you should write about things deeper and more meaningfull to you. Stand out and be different. Your site says "The only Opinion that matters"
well say something interesting.
