Fact: Promoting your blog is truly only as difficult as you want it out to be.
However, if you have never had a blog before, and never marketed anything in your life before now, it may be a little more difficult to understand. If that is the case, you should start off with a blog and just journaling in it to see what it is like.
Keep it updated so that you can see what is required to get readers, and try some of these techniques listed below.

Replying To Comments
While you are learning all about promoting your blog you are going to find that comments on a blog are also a very important aspect of blog marketing. You will want to be sure that you always answer and acknowledge the comments that are made to your blog as well as others.Reply to all the comments you receive! Join in any discussions going on in the comments of the posts you make. Let your visitors know you are keen to open up conversations with them.
When you show that you are an actual person that can hold a conversation, you are showing others that you are real and that you really and truly have the best intentions for your blog and for your readers.
Make sure that no comment goes unanswered. When you do this and do it consistently, it will show your readers that you will acknowledge them and answer their questions.
That will in return make them come back to see what your answer was if they asked a question.
Take the visitor poll!
Giving stuff away for free! (everyone loves a freebie)
Having a contest is another way that you can market your blog. Having contests on various things would be a lot of fun, and something that will keep your readers coming back.Everyone loves to win things, and you can also make the prize that you are giving away relevant to the market you are promoting on your blog. Some do not realize how effective this aspect of blog marketing can be. While others are reaping the rewards.

TrackBacks (linking back to each others blog with blog posts)
Another huge aspect of blog marketing is 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 trackback 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 trackback, it is a courtesy to return that to their blog if at all possible. This is something that most bloggers already try and do wherever possible.
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.

How to Climb Google Search Results
Something else that is a big thing in blog marketing that is frequently overlooked is using SEO on your blog, which stands for search engine optimization.SEO will help get your blog "out there" and read, and will also help you get a better ranking with Google.
Being as high as you can be in the Google search engine results is something that you want. Doing this will allow your blog to get out there so that people searching for things that are relevant can find it.
How do you get to the top of google?
Firstly, make your posts as relevant, original, and useful as you possibly can. Secondly, link to other relevant blogs, and tell those bloggers you're doing so. Thirdly, make a Squidoo lens (click 'make your own' at the top of this page) and add your blog feed to the RSS module. Fourthly, use the trackback feature. Fifthly, bookmark your blog on as many Social Networking sites as you can (myspace, Squidoo, Digg, StumbleUpon, etc).
Congratulations! You can promote your blog :)
While there are many aspects of blog marketing, you are going to see that the methods on this lens are probably the most important. Or, at least, the easiest ones for you to implement on a regular basis.If you have everything in place, then chances are you are getting some great traffic. If not, just keep working on it. And don't forget to ping your blog after every update at pingoat.com!
Your hard work is going to pay off and you will be glad that you did. Well done :-)
