Hug a Blogger Today, Okay?
Index card taken from the files of the hugely talented Jessica Hagy (Hug somebody today!)
One of the easiest way to generate more traffic to your blog is by networking with other bloggers.
- Send thank you notes to other bloggers in your industry
- Comment on other blogs
Total time to send one thank you note and comment on one blog everyday is 10 minutes a day. But the response will be phenomenal.
- People will read comments on other blogs and come visit your blog
- The bloggers themselves will appreciate your commenting on their posts
- And most of them will visit your blog
- Many of them will link back to your posts and comment on your blog too
- A few of them will add you to their Blog Rolls
- Search engines may find your link on other blogs and improve your rankings
As you can see – the benefits are many. So are you going to be persistent and hug a new blogger everyday?
