Do you seriously want to start a personal blog or website? If so, you are not alone since every other internet user is looking to do the same thing. While the process of creating a website is complex for beginners, making it popular is even more complicated. Even as you get a new site created keep in mind that it takes strategy and hard work to make it conspicuous on the web. The process is as simple as choosing a web programmer or designer, the main theme keywords, a domain name and a web hosting service. As soon as your web portal is complete, you have to move on to the next step – getting it noticed.
Simply put, you have to know various ways of advertising and promoting your website. For a young site, article marketing is always a good strategy because it is free. What does it entail? It involves article writing and publishing on high PR article directories, such as Goarticles and ezinearticles. So, the first thing you have to do is to look for a list of top article directories, create free accounts with them and start creating articles. Most sites accept articles that are 500 words long excluding title and author/resource box (put links to your sites here). Another common method of getting your blog or website noticed is through blog commenting.
If you have money, hire a freelance blog commenter to perform the task on your behalf. Use major freelancing job sites to locate the best freelancer. The freelancer should have a list of do follow blog sites/links (redirect links to your site) or you can explore the web and find some yourself. The freelancer will basically write short comments that correspond with the theme of articles on various blogs and insert a link back. Needless to mention, the blogs’ main themes have to relate to yours. Next, submit your site/blog to various directories. They all seem to offer a free membership but do not guarantee inclusion in their directories. Others ask for a reciprocal link or offer a paid featured service.
