Be consistent 

First let me just say that marketing your blog is going to require patience, and consistency. You will have to update your blog frequently if you want to keep readers coming back for more.

We are all guilty of making a blog, wanting it to be great, putting only one entry into it and then never going back to update it again. I think everyone in cyber world has done this at one time or another.

Don't let this be you!

Track Back 

Make sure that your blog has the track back feature.

When you have the track back feature on your blog, you are allowing other people to link to your blog. Maybe someone has a post to post on their blog that is relevant to one of yours. They can use the talkback to your post, and send their readers to your blog so that they know what they are referring to.

Another good thing to remember is that if someone gives you a track back, it is a courtesy to return that to their blog if at all possible.

Sitemap 

Having a Google account and submitting a sitemap is almost a must when you are blog marketing.

Doing so will allow Google to know how often you are updating your blog and they will automatically know of any changes that you have made to it as well. This will let Google get those new pages indexed faster and get them into search results much quicker than if you did not have the sitemap.

There is a certain way you have to do the sitemap for Google, and they can explain that to you. Just know this is an important step to blog marketing.

Exchanging Links and Blogrolling 

Exchanging links with authority blogs and websites that are in your same market is another great way to get the word out about your blog.

The authority sites are going to have a higher page rank, and will also be listed high in Google's search results. So do some searches and check those out and see if they are up to exchanging links.

If they are not, you could always just add those into your blogroll. You do not need permission to do that if they are not into linking.

However, in the world of blogs, most blog owners are thankful for all links, and are willing to return the favor.

Recommended Reading: Naked Conversations 

I read the first 20 pages of this book standing in the bookstore, and bought it immediately afterwards. I love reading it out loud because it is so well written.

This book is about how blogging is changing the way customers think about businesses. If you're not looking for this kind of read, but instead blog just for fun, this book may not be the one for you. But I promise you, it IS a good read!

Formatting 

You are going to want to be sure that all of your posts are formatted. Doing so will leave out any confusion for the search engines and you will have everything nice and neat and all organized.

The label tags are there for a reason when you are dealing with blogs. So make sure you use them!

Tracking 

Tracking is another part of blog marketing that is also very important.

You want to be able to track your visitors and clickers to know where they are coming from. You want to be able to tell what keywords they searched on to find your blog and where they did their searching.

Doing so will help take out all of the guess work when it comes to blog marketing. You will know what keywords are working, and which are not.

A great way to earn money from your blog: 

I found out about something the other day called ClickBank Mall.

In case you don't know, ClickBank is an affiliate network you join and earn between 50% and 75% on any purchases as a result of your promotions. And that high percentage means you're looking at probably between $15 and $35 per sale.

And now the easier way to make these sales (of products written by other people!) is not to list individual links in different places. It is to have a clever ClickBank Mall. A library for people to browse.

I'm loving it.

The one downside is this: maybe the price is a little high for you right now if you're just beginning your internet marketing career. It's set at $79.

It's worth checking it out, at least. For what you get, $79 is really cheap. But compared to what you might be earning online right now, $79 might seem expensive!

Actually, that's probably the best reason you have to get this thing. 2 or 3 sales and your money is back in your pocket. Go for it!

RSS Feeds 

Allowing RSS feeds from your blog is also another great blog marketing tool.

You are going to find that when you allow RSS feeds, your blog is going to end up all over the internet with a link back to it - and that is a good thing.

This is a wonderful way to get links to your blog with little or no effort.

People that subscribe to your blog's RSS feeds are able to then post your blog posts on their sites or blogs. Which in return gives you a link on their site or page that they have you on.

Blogging eBooks on eBay 

Are you a glutton for ebooks? I wouldn't recommend you spend any more money on an ebook if the last one you bought is sitting on your computer right now unread, but if you want to check out some of the ones on ebay (they do have good info, but you just have to READ them!), here is a live feed.

Blog marketing is only as hard as you make it.
