Linkbacks and SEO

I have listed a few things you can begin to do to make your blog more popular. Just remember, the blogs are built on relationships, so if you keep that in mind, you can begin to get more popular.

Pay for your own domain. I see so many people trying to make it with the free blogs out there. With the cost of a domain and hosting so cheap, there is no reason not to get your own. This will at least show you care enough about your business to invest in it.

I would make it a point of visiting the blogs of people you respect, and would like to know, and start making some intelligent comments. Then, if you can get these guys to recognize you, and start answering your comments, then you may be on your way to developing a good blogosphere relationship.

Hopefully, they are active in the commenting of the blog, and will answer you back. This can now be the beginning of a blogging relationship.

You can also use your blog as a reference.

I consider myself to be an internet marketer and a web developer. Because of the nature of these jobs, I am constantly looking up information and trying to solve problems. When I do, I now put this knowledge on my blog. This allows me to look it up again when I need it.

Meet bloggers personally. There are plenty of blogging conventions every month, and this would be a good time to meet some of these guys. We know the blogosphere is based on relationships, so what better way to reach out to someone than in person. This will make it more likely you will get some publicity for your blog at a later date.

There are so many different ways to get your blog more popular. The one I listed above would be a good place to start. And remember, it is all about building a relationship.
