Simple 7 Step Plan To Promote A Post

We all know how important quality content is, and I been known to write some here and there :)

But no matter how great your content is, no one will see it unless you promote it.

I’m not going to share mind blowing secrets here kids, but what I will share is EXACTLY what I have done to get my 12 month yr old blog to a PR4 and Alexa 117,000 and Ranking on first page for some big keywords.

Not bad for a 12 month blog that for 3 mnths I wrote NO posts and have a total of only 78 posts.  promote a post, get noticed, make money with a blog, make money blogging, make money online

That is about 1-2 posts a week,  I know pathetic lol,  but I been busy with my online businesses and family, but I promise to get on a tighter schedule.

So if what I’m sharing has worked for me with 1-2 post a week think what it would have done if I was on a consistent 3-5 posts a week.

*Please note that some of the links below are affiliate links to products that will earn me a commission. I only recommend products/services that I have used and that I like and trust.

Let’s get into it my 7 Steps…

______________________________

Submit To Twitter

This should be a no brainer for you by now.  Twitter if used correctly WILL send people back to your blog to read your post! Period!

Now more then ever, Twitter should be first place to send your new post, Read Why.

Submit To 20 Social Sites

I use Hootsuite and Ping.fm to send out my post to over 20 other social sites.

Go here is to be as efficient as you can be, using Ping.fm let’s you do that without having to sign into each and every account.

Facebook tip, is to post your link directly on facebook at least once before using Ping that way will get more SEO juice from it as a direct link back to your blog.

Bookmark To 30 Sites

Bookmarking works and with Onlywire I send my new post out to 30 sites with the exception of a few Capcha codes it is automatic.

Added to this I use firefox add on Shareholic to submit to another 15 sites that Onlywire doesn’t have.

So in about 15min of time I have my post out to about 45 sites.

Lately I been testing Bookmark Demon to go crazy with bookmarking, to over 200 possible sites, so far I am very happy with it.

Both options work great Onlywire and Shareholic or BookMarking Demon, but if you have a little bit of money to spend then I Highly recommend BookMarking Demon software it is awesome.

Submit To Blog Carnivals

Blog carnivals are a great way to a. get quality back links and b. get targeted traffic.

It is free to submit to carnivals and the more targeted the post to carnival is the higher your chance your post will be excepted.

I did this manually for a few weeks and bitched and moaned the whole way thru lol  but in the end the effort is worth the hard work.

I have been using a blog carnival submitting software called Xingla Pro that pretty much automates the process to 1 or 30 carnivals at once.

Have used it for 3 weeks and makes life A LOT easier..lol  especially if you have a lot of old posts that you would like to submit.

Post To Bloggersbase

I been posting on BloggerBase for few months see my BloggersBase Profile and each my post have been read (each my post get read 200-400 times.

Not bad for a site that lets you post on for free as many times as you like and let you read readers you may never have before.

Post To BlogEngage

BlogEngage is a new site I was invited to join a few weeks back.  Brian at BlogEngage has a nice system setup to let bloggers reach other bloggers, connect and share in the promotion of each others blogs.

I been very happy with the luv my posts have gotten and the comments, traffic and ReTweets I been getting all from BlogEngage.

You have to be invited to be  part of the community, which is Brian’s way of keeping things at a high quality and a benefit to all members.

If you email Brian tell him John Paul sent you and I’m sure he will send you an invite,  yea I got celebrity status like that :)

Comment On Related Blogs

I have talked about how I use blog commenting before so I won’t go to far into it, but I comment on blog posts that fit what my most recent post was about.

Also I learned recently is if you are blog commenting for a back link, then don’t waste your time commenting on a post with over 40 – 50 comments.

Google only spiders the first 60 links on a page top to bottom, so if you comment 55 plus the links on that page beside the comment links, then you wont get credit for that back link.

Now you SHOULD comment FIRST to offer something to the conversation, and back link benefit should be a bonus not your primary reason to comment.

That’s it, simple to read and simple to do if you take the time and do it for each and every post you write.

Any tips you can share?

    John Paul,

    A list of very useful promotional sites; I'll be taking a further look at some of these. Thank you for sharing them.

    I've not seen too many of your posts recently; have you been away?

    Regards

    Paul

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Hey Paul.. Thanks for the comment. As far as the sites, BloggersBase is great and Blog Engage so far is bringing in nice amount traffic, very happy with both.

    Yea I been here..lol did a post last week then one 4 weeks before, been slacking on th blog,, online business been taking up alot of time. But I should be back toa reg schedule soon :)

  • http://twitter.com/mmdrama My Momma Drama

    Thanks for posting this! There are a few that you mentioned I had no idea about.

    ~found from BlogEngage

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Drama, TY for the comment. and nice to see a BlogEngage friend :) I hope the list helps.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Wendee TY for thew comment. Yea if you follow some or all the steps I laid out, you will see a nice bump in traffic.

    Takes a lil time to get in the habit of doing all this, but once you do, it's quick.

  • http://letupdate.com Dana

    It is such a great list of tips but I wonder how the traffic quality that you get from blogger base. Is it the real traffic?

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Bloggersbase traffic is good traffic since they read the post, they get no benefit to reading it. Not like in a traffic exchange site where people go to your site JUST to get credit to show their site.

    Good thing with Bloggersbase is it gets read by bloggers that may or may not ever have found my blog.

    Great site, and free to post..lol So why not.

  • http://www.diary4life.com Paul

    John Paul,

    Thanks for the tips I'll take a look at those two.

    Regards

    Paul

  • http://cashwithatrueconscience.com/rbblog Ryan

    John Paul, Great tip on not commenting old blog posts with big comment strreams. Not that I did this but wasn't aware of google's spider algorithm.

    I just pound the hell out of twitter. It's worked for me. Also use pingomatic, FB, and another good pinging service is Zimbio. Some of my zimbio pings earned 1st page status on google before I knew what the heck I was doing with marketing, etc; it's powerful.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Hey Ryan… TY for the comment. Yea Twitter works if you work it right. I will check out Zimbio.. Great add :)

    We all know how important quality content is, and I been known to write some here and there :) But no matter how great your content is, no one will see it…

  • http://www.source-blogger.com Source Blogger

    John Paul,

    This is Source Blogger. How are you?

    I see that many articles encourage you to automate the article marketing process, particularly pings and the such.

    We also have a unique process of pinging to numerous other RSS and Social Media resources.

    How have you proven that this system is really driving traffic to your site? Were you able to detect traffic from specific referrals unique to the roster of sites from a ping sites unique directory?

    Thanks in advance for your response.

    Your friend,

    Source Blogger

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    I know it works since all the 7 steps is ALL I have done with my blog and in 10 months and only 1-2 posts a week, I have a PR 4 Alexa 117,000 score.

    So that's what I look at to tell me whether w=hat I'm doing is working. :)

    Understand my post isn't about who has the better pinging service, I use Ping.fm but there are many out there to chose, doesn't matter which you use, JUST USE ONE! :)

  • http://thoushallblog.com Yan

    Nice tip on promotion, John. I really wish bloggerbase is dofollow so we could have both traffic + backlinks. I kinda like the interface though.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Yan TY for the comment man.. Means alot, since I got alot great info from your blog when I started mine :)

    I agree that Bloggersbase would be nice to get the back links, interface is great, but I think he could do so much more with that site.

  • Anonymous

    Thanks for the great post. Its very helpful to a newbie blogger like me! There is so much to do and so little time to do it. These steps are going to save some serious time!

  • http://www.fazreen.com Fazreen

    Good jobs man! Sounds easy to do but it's hard actually. Am I right? With so many tools people will confuse which one they should use. To do this, we must do it properly.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Fazreen TY for the comment. If you do all 7 steps here it should take you no more then 30 – 60 min. Not bad considering the results you will get. Can also do the steps at different times in the day, break it up, do 2-3 steps then 2-3 steps later. Long as you do it the same day you will be fine.

  • http://twitter.com/another_blogger 4notherBlogg3r

    I'm still confusing about the blog carnival John. Any help?

    Sure.. what are you confused about?

  • http://samswebguide.com/ Sam's Web Guide

    Hey John,

    Hey Sam..TY for the comment. Nice to see soem BlogEngage luv :)

    Yes semi automation is just enough to free up your time, and get the most out of your time.

    Let me know how the tips work out for you.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    TY Tia for the comment :)

    Yea BookMark Demon is so good, you have use it at 50% power..lol

    I'm glad you like the tips. and linked from your resource page is awesome.. your the best.

    Havn't tried PubSubHubbub…have it open now,,TY.

  • http://www.famousbloggers.net/ Hesham @ FamousBloggers

    Excellent post, tools and ways!

    I must submit it now to my MMO social network site as well and give you another link and a few retweets, I like it!

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Hesham your the best man..TY Glad you liked the post too.

    Will be RTing the Contest Winners post soon myself. TY for letting me be a part of that.

  • http://www.bizchickblogs.com Tia Peterson

    Wow, John. This is great info!

    I’ve been using Bookmarking Demon – not for my blog, but on client sites – I am skeptical of using it on the blog. I think I will wait a few months longer to see the long-term effects in PR for that. It’s a GREAT tool though, especially for really quick indexing.

    Have you tried PubSubHubbub? If not, try that as it’s also great for lightning fast publishing into Google BlogSearch.

    I will try BlogEngage (emailed Brian) and Bloggersbase. That’s awesome. This is one of the more informational posts I’ve read on blog promotion and I’ll link to this from my resources page!

    Cheers,
    Tia

  • http://www.iwoodpecker.com/ iWoodpecker

    &#8220;Google only spiders the first 60 links on a page top to bottom”

    You're partially right. But.. As far as I've noticed.. the higher PR of some certain web page, the more links will be indexed. So, it's fair to say, that if you often comment on ProBlogger, it doesn't really matter wether you were the first commenter or the 150th – your link will be indexed despite the nofollow tag. This is from my practice according to GA.

    And I believe this very natural. The more important is your content on a page, the better it should be scanned and indexed.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Pecker Google will not spider every link on a page with 150 links, you are completely wrong .

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Yea the communities are a small part of gettign traffic and a small part of what the post was about.

    Alo more to do then just postint in blogengage and bloggersbase, this alone wont help your blog all that much.

  • Anonymous

    Great tools John!
    Twitter, stumbleupon and blogengage help me with quality traffic, but promoting my content further comes with a little more manual work, because some of the communities I publish my links in (especially design related networks), are not included in these tools.
    Therefore, after publishing each of my posts I have to go over many places like dzone and queness and post my links.

  • http://twitter.com/jakemaslow Jacob Maslow

    Comments and FaceBook are worth doing. More thought should go to each.

    You generally wont get SEO from comments or FaceBook, but lots of exposure to people who will be interested in your subject matter

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Jacob TY for the comment. You will get SEO from facebook read my post from other day on this.

    Posting to facebook gets you BIG SEO juice and ranked on Google.

    Yes commenting is big, I have talked about this on other posts many times, this post was for JUST promoting a post :)

  • http://thoushallblog.com Yan

    You're doing great indeed, John. You've got a great community here. In fact, the # of comments on this article proves that you've done a terrific job at promoting it. Keep on keeping on, buddy.

    Cheers!

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    TY Yan, I Appreciate the Encouragement..

    Yea I'm very happy with the comments today, I have a lot great followers. My blog wouldn't be any where without them and their support.

    Stay in touch man, I still have a lot to learn from you :)

  • http://twitter.com/DanielStoicaTax Daniel Stoica

    I know, I wish there was a tool to share posts in all niche communities as well :-)

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    That would be nice 'm sure there is something out there… just need to find it.

  • http://www.freemanlegacyllc.com Ms. Freeman

    I use a few of these sources, but not nearly as many as you have listed. How long does it take you to submit your posts to each of these?

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Ms,Freeman TY for your comment :)

    If you did all that lsit shows like I do using the free options like Onlywire, then you could do it all in 45min – 1 hr.

    Also you can do some of it right away and some later in the day.long as you get it all done that day you will be fine.

    If you want to cut all that in half. and use the paid options you would be done in 20 – 30 min.

  • dragonblogger

    I hadn't even heard of Onlywire so I am off to check out that site right now, two of the others which are paid programs I hadn't heard of either.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Hey Justin… TY for the comment. Yea Onlywire is great, have used it a long time. But if you ahve some cash then Bookmark Demon is a silly software..lol

  • dragonblogger

    Is bookmark demon automated, or do you still have to manually do the submissions. I was hoping for something like Ping.FM plug-in for wordpress, that auto submits bookmarks without manually having to do it.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    BMD is a software, once you put the url you want to bookmark to over 200 sites, it runs automatically.

    Onlywire isn't automated fully. Ping.fm I have tied to my HootSuite account.

    Hey John thanks so much for posting about us in this article. I think blog engage has so much to offer bloggers I would hate so see anyone miss out in it and not get involved. I'm also a big fan of twitter and use it as often as I can., It has much potential.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Hey Brian, TY for the comment. Your welcome for the BE mention, it is a great service, and I am very happy with it so far.

    I have been blogging for over a year now. Almost everything I've learned I've had to scratch up by myself. I realize that there is still much more to know. I wish I had these tips when I started.

    In October I started another blog called Chicken Scratchings as an adjunct to an association for self-publishing authors. I've encouraged them to begin blogging to establish or increase credibility. Please check us out and if you like what you see would you allow me to republish these tips for blogging authors?

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Hey Bill… TY for the comment. I'm glad you liked the tips.

    Yea I had lot to learn in the beggining and still learning :)

    You can re-publish the post, that's fine, just make sure to include a link back to the post here on my blog.

    Ralph, TY for the comment. I'm glad you liked the tips, any tips to promote a post better I'm happy to share.

  • http://itauditsecurity.wordpress.com itauditsecurity

    While the focus of your post was driving traffic to your blog, don't neglect to promote your posts INSIDE your blog. Three ideas:

    1) Post a list of previous articles with short teasers. This works good with posts that you think are good, but haven't received the traffic you feel they deserve; people may have just missed them (for an example, see A Few Good Posts on my blog). I like to pick humorous or non-typical posts that give readers a broader view of your content.

    2) Write about the most popular posts on your blog for the quarter or year. Again, summarize the post and note why you think its popular. Note which posts received the most comments. Note which posts you were surprised didn't receive more traffic and ask for comments (see my Most Popular Posts).

    Both of these methods provide lists of posts and tempt readers to read articles they missed. The key is to do it sparingly.

    3) Remember to interlink your posts. For example, my most popular post, Teach Yourself ACL, is also linked to all my newer ACL content. Those links drive a lot of traffic to my more recent material.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    TY for the comment,, the post was about “promoting a new post” not about interlinking posts on the blog.

    If it was then your tips would be great and relevant :)

  • http://www.bloggodown.com gautamhans

    I would agree with you that twitter is a great medium to get traffic and i have found it get m immense amount of traffic. But submission to many websites at the same time is a great technique to get your search rankings up

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Hans, TY for the comment.

    Yea Twitter combined with submissions is a good start to driving traffic.

  • kylesharick

    Thanks for the references. You mentioned 20 is a good number of social sites to post too and 30 bookmarking sites. Of these, (besides the mainstream FB, Twitter, Delicious, Reddit) which are some less notable sites you find provide the greatest value?

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Hey Kyle.. TY for the comment.

    I have about 25 social sites connected to my Ping.fm you can have more. but I think 20-30 is fine.

    Bookmarking I send to about 25-35 Now I use BookMark Demon I talked about in post.. with that softwar eit is so powerful,, you can bookmark to like 200 place,, so with that you need to relax a lil,lol 30-50 is good evey once in awhile I hit 100.

    But you dont wanna go to crazy and piss of Google .. better to be safe then sorry.

    Hope that helps man.

  • kylesharick

    definitely

  • http://www.vladexperiment.com Vlad Olariu

    Hi John.
    Well, you're post is great.. thanks for all these useful informations… pity for those (like me) who have a blog in Italian is * much * more difficult …

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    lad, TY for the comment.

    I think using these tips will work even in english. maybe you can add a simple translator plugin so that it can be english and Italian.

  • http://www.vladexperiment.com Vlad Olariu

    Nice Idea.. I will provide.. Thank You.

  • http://www.internetemploy.com mmarketing

    Great post John, I had been looking for all of that (obviously not too hard)
    I have a question, namely – how do you co-ordinate all of the submission programs. I already have a wordpress plugin for twitter posts. Surely you are not merely submitting post on auto with all bookmark sites. I am aware that you can pick and choose what is sent and where to, but this then leaves one with a browser-header full of book-marklets.
    Am I just being dense, or lazy?
    Regards chris.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Chris.. TY for the comment.

    You have to submit each post as your write them,, tols help but you still need to work.

  • http://www.prolificliving.com/blog prolificliving

    Great post but a few spelling and grammar errors. It may have been written in a hurry but you were focusing on getting the content to the readers … The tips are excellent and a bit shocking to me on how much you market the posts. Perhaps I need to start doing that too…

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Farnoosh? Sorry if that's not your name :) TY for the comment. Yes spelling..I think faster then I type..lol

    I'm glad you liked the tips.

    Once you do a few it really isn't that much work.. you just really need to do some promotion of a new post to get it read by more people.

  • http://www.prolificliving.com/blog prolificliving

    Yes you do think faster THAN you type :) !
    Farnoosh is indeed my one and only name. I respond to few other things but I prefer this one :) !
    I am going to use your tips! But a grammar lesson may be due soon ;) ! Just teasing, keep up the good work.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Ok hope they help.

  • http://myblog2day.com Lee Ka Hoong

    John, I have no idea whether submitting to social bookmarking sites does really help in pagerank or search engine ranking, but I believe that it could bring you some traffic. I've been using Blogengage for quite few months and I have the traffic they send me.

    I have a question, with Hootsuite and Ping.fm, I need to register in ping.fm and submit my post to ping.fm and it will send out my post to over 20 social bookmarking sites?

    My blog stuck PR3 for more than a year, perhaps I'll try your help and see whether I can get PR4 in the near future.

    Thanks for the tips John!

    Regards,
    Lee

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Hey Lee.. Yea submitting to social site and bookmarking sites will give you more traffic more back link from authoritive site, and will raise your PR.. Google luvs sm site and bm sites.

    As far as hoot and ping

    You need to first join ping and fill out all the sites you want to submit to.

    Once you do that you add ping account to hoot. and when you want to submit to your Ping account you just check it and when you tweet a post or message it will automatically got to your ping sites.

    Lee if you do all the tips here and add commenting trust me your PR will jump at the next Google PR update.

  • http://myblog2day.com Lee Ka Hoong

    That sounds pretty cool! I just about to sign up all the social sites that listed in ping.fm, so you have signed up almost all the social sites that listed in ping.fm? Or you just pick some of them?

    One more question, shareholic and Onlywire are free to use right? I'm just going to check out them. I used to submit my latest blog post to Digg, Blogengage, stumbleUpon and Google bookmark only, my intention is just to get my blog post indexed as soon as possible, never think of getting higher PR or helping in search engine ranking. You change my mind now, I'm going to try them out.

    Thanks John.

    Regards,
    Lee

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Lee I have about 25 sites in Ping.. pik the best ones.

    Onlywire and Shareholic are free I use shareholic to submit to about 10 sites that are not part of Onlywire.

  • http://myblog2day.com Lee Ka Hoong

    I notice that Onlywire is not free to use, or we have to place a button in our blog in order to use the services for free. I didn't see the button in your blog, so are you using the paid one John?

    I'm registering all the social bookmarking sites one by one right now.

    Regards,

    This is a very nice post. I never thought that there are sites like ping.fm to send new posts automatically to social sites! this post is so cool!

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    TY for the comment. Yea there are few sites that can help do this.. Ping.fm is what I have used a long time and happy with them. Simple to setup too.

    Hi John
    I'm working like crazy for PR4.
    Got to PR3 but I want 4… this could be the post that gets it for me.

    “Also I learned recently is if you are blog commenting for a back link, then don’t waste your time commenting on a post with over 40 – 50 comments.”

    Didn't know that, but certainly worth knowing.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Hey Keith..TY for the comment. I hope the post helps you get to PR 4.. felt good going there from a PR2. :)

    Yea if your commenting for back links,,and you really should be commenting for more then just a back link.. but stay away from posts with over 50 comments.

  • http://www.signupandmakemoney.com Greg London

    Thanks for the recommendations. I'm definitely going to be checking out XinglaPro and Bloggerbase. These look like good things.

    Thanks.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Grehg.. TY for the comment. Yea Bloggersbase will get some more eyes on your post.

    XinglaPro is the best.. take a min to learn it but once you so its fast.

  • http://www.diary4life.com Paul

    John Paul, I've finally got round to visiting all your recommendations. When they begin to take effect it will certainly like my life a lot easier. Thanks again for the great tips.

    One other question; how do you identify which blogs are writing similar material to you?

    Regards
    Paul

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Paul I hope they help save you some time and bring in more readers. Keep me informed :)

    I find blogs thru twitter, Google Search etc.. My RSS has about 50 – 75 blogs/sites that I read to comment on and for basic info on tech, blogging, business, internet marketing, motivational, “got yours in there “

    Well, finally I signed up for ping. Thanks for getting me in action in that direction. Because of ping, I signed up for tumblr and dug out my reddit password and found a couple of other new sites. I admire how many places you're submitting links to. We'll see what the impact is of these new sites on my traffic and backlinks. Thanks!

    Hi John,

    Just a quick question from someone who is completely new to this social bookmarking thing.

    I looked into the Onlywire site, and it says in order to use it you have to put their button on your blog posts. I don't see their button on your page here. How are you using their service without the button? It's a bit confusing to me!

    -Jeremy

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Jeremy.. you can either pay for Onlywire or use it free but you need to add there button. Mine is on my side bar at the bottom it says Bookmark & Share

  • darrenlcarter

    Hey John,

    You will be hearing from me soon!! =)

    Lisa~
    P.S. What's up with the Disqus thingy? There is so much to learn!!

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Hey Lisa.. I'm glad your using the steps in that post. If you have any questions I'm here :)

    Disqus is a comment system.. I like it alot.. but for a new blog I would go with a simple Threaded comment system.. I would have in the beginning if I knew..lol

  • http://twitter.com/Brandon_Connell Brandon Connell

    The commenting isn't only good for the link love. It is about the potential traffic from the readers and owner of the blog you are commenting on.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Yea I agree.. I have covered commenting in other posts, so I didn't go into full explanation. But commenting is about offering something to the conversation where people see it and like it enough to visit your blog and learn more about you.

    Great tips! BloggersBase is new to me; I'm intrigued. Just curious about your thoughts on duplicate content posted here and there.

    And I noticed one of your posts there linked back to this site for the reader to read the rest while some of your other posts there were published in full.

    Thanks!

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Amy..TY for the comment, glad you liked the post :)

    Duplicated content isn't bad.. your really putting it on places like bloggersbase, to get eyes from that site on your post, and the backlink is nice too.

    I have always posted my whole post on BB but recently I havn't been happy with how much he is monetizing with ad links,, annoying.. so I am trying something new with that most recent post with posting half and having people go to my blog for the rest.

    What a great article. I’ve already been able to put a few of the tips into effect on my blog. However, after spending years doing online help systems and web sites I’m just now moving into blogs and finding I have a lot to learn. Looks like I have to start to look at Twitter, which I’ve been resisting completely.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Yes you need to get on Twitter.. Will make you a better blogger, and make new connections for you.

    HI John Paul,
    Some excellent tips here. Thanks for taking the time to share them. There are a few here that I’m not familiar with that I will have to check out asap. And unfortunately some others that I do know that I’m not taking advantage of. I should get crackin’ on them soon!
    Thanks again for the very informative post (as usual) :D
    Cheers

    Cheers

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Ingrid..TY for the comment. Glad the post helped and maybe show you the benniis of the few things you know about, but not using. It all ads up when put together. All things and more I still do today, that all work.

  • http://www.3hatscommunications.com/blog/ davinabrewer

    John, Interesting tips.. except I’m not on 20 social sites. ;-) I do cross promote a little, with LinkedIn and Friendfeed synced to Twitter but that’s as far as I go; too much of a good thing. I do need to think of other places to submit my blog, thanks for the suggestion.

    Commenting on other blogs: I do it more because I have something to add to the discussion and less for SEO or promoting my own work, though honestly that is part of it. I do of course link back to blog posts, hoping they add value to my own (and perhaps the blog owner will drop by with a comment).

    BTW nice to see comments still open after a few months, commented about this earlier today. Thanks.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Davina..TY for your first comment :) Hopefully not your last. Yes when I say commenting, I mean add value to the conversation first, the traffic and backlink you get is a bonus.

    Im on so many social sites, but I will say I only visit 5 daily. But sending your post to places you dont visit daily will still get a backlink and traffic.

    I submit to Myspace, and get visits from there, yet I havnt visited Myspace in a year haha

    Yea as of right now I leave comments open. People visit conversations late, so I give them opp to add their 2 cents.. like you did :) But I have been getting more n more spam,, so I may have to rethink the open comments things soon. Its to bad.

  • http://www.thevirtualasst.com Michelle Mangen

    John Paul:
    I found this post by way of Alex Walley. :-)

    I use Onlywire, Shareaholic and Ping. Was not aware that you could get SEO juice from posting on Facebook. Do you have to post the actual URL or could it be posted to your FB with use of something like NetworkedBlogs or LinksAlpha?

    I also was not aware that after 60 links there is no juice (though I don’t just to get juice).

    Going to look more into Bookmarking Demon as I do social bookmarking for a number of clients and this may help make the job easier.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Michelle.. TY for your first comment :) Hopefully first of many

    Yea to get the juice from FB you have to manually post your url, so it is a direct link back to your blog.

    Yea commenting for links should be the bonus, not the main reason for commenting. But if you can get both then thats great. and after 60 Google really doesn’t look any further. Also if you after 60, most people wont really see it so not much traffic coming back to your blog from that comment.

    Bookmarking demon is awesome, and if you have clients, you can set up different campaigns and reports for each.

    Just found your site via a link on twitter.
    One thing I sell is inlinks, I know google doesn’t like them. but I’m making a good amount on them each month.

    One other comment I have is please remove the popup for your mailing list, it is incredibly annoying. I know the big thing right now is growing a mailing list (which I don’t get, personally I prefer following a site through RSS feeds and a person through twitter. I get enough email) Just my 2 cents :)

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    What’s really annoying is the 16 damn ads you have on your site chief. So before you go running your mouth, you may want to look at your own blog.. Now that is just MY 2 cents :)

  • http://www.benway.net JasonB

    WOW, you take feedback from a new reader real well.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Feedback? that was rude and ignorant. especially for your first comment chief.

  • http://www.ivanwalsh.com Ivan Walsh

    Hi Ya!

    Google indexes the fan pages that are open to the public, not private pages.

    I’ve done some experiments and it works v well. Just setup a fan page with keywords and add some articles.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Yea, private goes without saying. Only public pages get SEO attention.

  • http://www.salestipaday.com/ Chris Hamilton

    John Paul,

    I am amazed by the wealth of information that you share with people. I greatly appreciate it and the information is fantastic.

    Keep them coming.

  • http://thebloggingacademy.com Stephen

    Hi John Paul,

    Are you still in love with Bookmarking Demon? It’s been on my watch list for ages. The only thing that puts me off is the price tag. If you are still giving it the thumbs up then I’m one step closer to purchasing it.

    I’m currently using OnlyWire but get a lot of failures. SocialAdr is OK. Outsourcing is another option, but I am concerned about bad neighbourhoods. BMD and managing it myself seems to be the best way to go. What do you think?

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Stephen.. Yea I dumped OnlyWire for the waste of time, garbage tool.

    BD is awesome,, I still recommend it. Only if you are planning to bookmark on a regular basis.. “which you should be” Now if your going to bookmark here n there, then just outsource it.

    But if you plan to use it on a regular basis to bookmark your posts, articles and vids, then BD is what you need.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Chris..TY for the comment. Glad you like the post and all the info :)

  • http://thebloggingacademy.com Stephen

    John Paul,

    I’m not the only one that thinks OW is a complete waste of time, money and keystrokes then!

    I think I will give BD a go. I have a few sites that could do with some SEO work to give them a bit of a boost, and plenty of plans for the future too.

    Thanks.

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Then if you have a few sites, then the cost of BD is def worth it. Let me know how you do with it :)

    Hi John, getting visible via social media is really a great free way how to attract some relevant traffic. I was not aware of couple of websites you mentioned and I will definitely go ad test them.

    Until now I was submitting my content only to Twitter because I was thinking it will take me just too much time to submit on other places as well, but now I see that it do not have to be necessarily that time-consuming.

    Thanks for sharing!

  • http://www.johnpaulaguiar.com John Paul

    Adam.. if done right it won’t take to long,, but even if it does.. the benefit is def worth the extra effort.

    Hope the tips help you.
