11 Ways To Get Noticed By Other Bloggers [Blogging Tips]

by Ricky on October 2, 2009

Content is the king” is an old theory. It doesn’t stand alone anymore. Whether you like it or not but you need to have an effective direct marketing skill to stand out in blogosphere. Definitely content is the only weapon that is going to help  in the long term but besides that you need to build a community or audience to hear you. Here I’ve mentioned some effective ways to create a first impression to other blogger/readers.Blog exist

1.Commenting: Blogosphere always like the talkative people. You need to shout to tell the people that you are here. Let them know that you also exist in the blogosphere. The best way to get recognized by other blogger is frequently commenting to his/her blog, by commenting I mean to say valuable comments or questioning other blogger. Useless or thanking comments won’t help much as other bloggers know that you are just spamming their comment section ;) .

You can also target commentluv enabled blog as they links back to your blog. You can also target keyword enabled blogs to earn a solid backlinks or keyword position. Make sure that you don’t spam this blog as they are more tend to get spam comments.

2.Cool blog design: How do you feel when you see a sexy/hot/gorgeous chick? Consider your blog design as a hot chick. Everybody wants to speak with hot chick. Good design and easy navigation not only helps you to get more page views but also helps you to get recognized by other blogger. It will create the first impression on their mind that this blogger has something in it. But again without good content everything fails.

3.First paragraph: Your first paragraph decides how your articles is going to be. Make sure that you put as many data and your effort in first paragraph. Make it controversial, make it lucrative, make it inviting, show off your knowledge in first para itself.

4.Forums: Forums are also good ways to drive more traffic. Try to be active on few forums. Try to answer other readers at the forum. It will definitely help you to create your own secret community. Keep in touch with the people who asked you some questions. If possible reply them via DM.

5.Contact other blogger: If you have any doubt then don’t hesitate to ask the fellow blogger about it. Believe me blogger loves to answer questions that are asked them personally. Learn how to write a good email that never fails to impress.

6.Help blogger to help you: Truly said “Sharing is caring” (A quote from sexybookmarks plugin). Stumble, digg, RT, share the post of other blogger on social networking site. It will help them to get good traffic. This is the by far the most easiest method to get recognized by other blogger. Don’t forget to remind them that you have shared their post with other.

7.Link love: Who doesn’t love to earn free links? Link love posts are best way to share good post from other blogger. Make a practice to write a link love post once in a month (preferably a week). Target few blogger and try to post their link on the top of the other (make a habit of rotating policy ;) ).

8.Guest post: Guest posting has many advantages. By guest posting you can

  1. Earn solid backlink(s).
  2. More exposure of your blog to whole new world of readers.
  3. Get easily recognized by other blogger.
  4. Best way to drive some traffic.
  5. Chance to build a new community/network of your own

Always target a reputed or a blog with high PR/traffic for guest posting. It will not only increase your readers database but it can also earn you some solid backlinks which can help you to get good PR.

9.Sponsor a contest: This is the most difficult task  as new blogger  doesn’t have good amount in hand to sponsor a contest. Sponsoring a contest can help you to earn a link, increase the follower at twitter or other social network. Sponsoring a contest doesn’t have to be limited with cash award, you can provide a free ad space, link, entre card credit and lot more.

10.Write a review: Writing a good review of your favorite website with link back is another good option to get noticed by the fellow blogger. Write a constructive criticism, suggestion instead of being harsh on other blogger.

11.Alexa review: There is a latest trend in a blogopshere to write an Alexa review on the blog. Be the part of this latest trend to get recognized by other bloggers.

I’m sure you are having some more solid points in your mind. Don’t be shy. Share your thought with us here. I’ll include it in the post with a link love to your blog :smile: .

Yes commenting and guest posting can help a lot. But the most important thing is the posts I guess.Your posts should be unique and informative and useful.

Thanks

You are right in saying the the post must be informative and unique but you also need a readers to read it. Search engine can help you with this but if you do not concentrate on SEO, marketing then your traffic will be limited. Thank you for sharing your though here :smile:

All great points Ricky. Yes, content will always be king… as good content is what gets people coming back to your site, plus hopefully quality content will be indexed in the search engines which will bring you lots of traffic as you grow.

But good marketing is also important to grow your site at a much faster pace than relying on organic traffic to get people there.

I liked all of your tips, especially the nice blog design and how you related it to a hot woman. That was good! I don’t agree with holding a contest because although you get followers and subscribers, if you don’t hold a contest frequently they will unsubscribe because they subscribed only for the contest in the first place. Besides that one I really liked these tips, and I am going to put them into practice.

@Teen On Da Rise
I agree with your point that people might unsubscribe later. But think like a blogger, do you want a big subscription list or traffic? They might get turned into loyal reader or direct traffic. If we are putting a condition to subscribe then it is fair enough that they unsubscribe when the contest is closed :smile:

Alexa review is one that I rarely notice. I just heard about it from DiTesco earlier and perhaps it could be a good try. Nowadays marketing strategy is needed even in blogging so wouldn’t mind to get extra exposures via new tactics.
