How to Advertise your Blog through Social Media

Okay so you are now published! Your on the web....what now? Well when it comes to blogging your goal is to have people read what you write, right? There are many tools out there that can help you get your name out there. Some of them cost (some quite a bit), and some of them are free. Well lets take a look at a few of the options that are available to you when it comes to marketing online.

As you can probably guess the trick is using Social Media to our advantage.  It is and excellent way to get people interested in what you have to say.  It can even help in keeping your blog in their mind (there are just so many of them out there).  Another great feature of posting your website to a social media website is that it gets your link out on the web.  This is a key feature.  This helps out on so many levels when it comes to SEO.  Google, Yahoo, and Bing search engines take into account how many sites you have linking in to your site.  A great place to see how your measuring up on the web, in terms of SEO and hits, is Alexa.com.  But... if you want to really get your link out there here are a few sites that can really help you out:

1. Twitter
2. Digg

3. Facebook

4. Diigo

5. Reddit

6. Stumble Upon

7. Technorati

8. MySpace

9. Linked In

10. Google Buzz

11. Yahoo Buzz

12. Propeller

13. Mixx

14. Sphinn

15. Fark

These are just a few of the bigger ones that you can use.  Eventually I will have to make a really long list of all of them.  They really do help you drive traffic to your site!  Let us know what sites you like to use too.
