  • Hi Vishwajeet,

    Your article is great and I love the points you highlighted. On-page and Off-page SEO are crucial because both are kike bread and peanut butter. When creating content you apply On-page SEO, and after publishing your article, you apply Off-page SEO. These strategies enables you to improve content visibility and search rankings.

    One to I want to add is the use of “email marketing” to promote your blog. Yes, we know that Google does not index emails, but they play an important role – helping you to increase your searching rankings. How?

    Add links to email newsletters you send to your subscribers and encourage them to click through to your site and read your blog. Also encourage them to link to your new blog posts. These activities surely will boost SEO and Google search.

    • Exactly, besides guest posting, I also recommended email marketing also plays a big role in getting more views. Every blogger should not neglect to collect emails of their site visitors by letting them subscribe to their newsletter. By installing an email capture tool on their sites, they can collect the email addresses of almost every visitor by giving them free gifts in exchange for their emails. I wrote several articles pertaining to email marketing on my blog. Anyway, this article has insights that many newbie bloggers wouldn’t think about. Very informative and to the point.

  • Hi Vishwajeet,

    I like all your points of how to promote your blog. Everything is so on target! The best of all for me is to engage with other bloggers and share their stuff. Reciprocity is a wonderful thing! Also commenting does bring more readers to our own blogs. When people read comments and you leave a good one, they are more apt to check you out. It has happened to me so many times.

    Thanks!

    I’m also working on on-site work with fixing my orphan content.

  • Hi Vishwajeet,
    Thanks for your insights. SEO has always been obscure for me so I assumed it was really technical and out of my league.
    It appears to be simple!
    I especially will focus on guest posting, seo plugins and quora.
    😊
