8 Ways to Popularize Your Blog

1. Write compelling text: To build a loyal blog audience, your content should be interesting and offer something to the readers that will urge them to come back for more. You need to write often and offer your readers some meaningful information to help breed loyalty and maintain their interest.
2. You should submit your blog URL to various search engines including the popular ones like Google and Yahoo. This will help you to appear in the search results of these engines as they will crawl your blog and include your pages after your submission.
3. Add links to other blogs in your blogroll: Though many blog owners do not like to put outbound links on their blogs, relevant links to other blogs will not only help your readers get information but also bring traffic from those blogs. The owners of blogs to which you link are likely to add a reciprocal link, thereby sending their visitors to your blog.
4. Use the comments section: The Comment section of your blog is a simple yet effective tool to bring traffic to your blog. You need to respond to your readers comments to show how actively involved you are with the blog and the opinion of your readers. This two-way conversation between you and your readers will also increase their loyalty. There is an icing on the cake too. Search engines love content. The more active your comment section is, the more content will be created there. The search engines will lap up this fresh and unique content, created by your blog readers.
5. Use RSS Feed: Make it easier for your readers to read your blog by putting the RSS feed button on your blog. It will also help your feed subscribers to know when you publish new content even if they do not visit your blog.
6. Use tags: The search engines notice tags easily. Make sure to include tags in your blog posts as it will get you some additional traffic.
7. Optimize your blog posts: While you write your blog posts, try to include relevant keywords and links. Use of proper and relevant keywords play a major role in search engine optimization. However, do not overload your copy with too many links and keywords, thereby robbing the natural flow of language. If you do so, the search engines may blacklist you and your blog may even be pulled off the search results.
8. Use social book marking sites: An easy way to boost traffic to your blog is to submit your blog URL to popular social book marking sites like StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit and Del.icio.us.
