Marketing a Personal Finance Blog

[financialnut]

I've been blogging now for about 9 months and have managed to implement several fairly effective strategies that continue to drive traffic today!

Here are some of the things I do:

1. Participate in blog carnivals
2. Host blog carnivals
3. Guest post
4. Allow guest posters on my blog
5. Article Marketing via EzineArticles
6. Submit to live directories and blog directories
7. Comment on others' blogs
8. Network with bloggers via Twitters & other social networks
9. Participate in social media
10. Do SEO on and off page.

What strategies are you currently using that work for your blog?

Doesn't everyone SEO? If everyone does it, does anyone gain an advantage?

[financialnut]

That's the thing... not everybody really knows it. SEO not only requires a tremendous amount of know now, but you also have to have the time, patience, and endurance to make it happen.

Doing any type of SEO will always give you an advantage. It just matters how aggressively you approach it.

You could also try submitting articles to digg, delicious etc. Even if articles don't make it to the front page they're indexed.

SEO is great, but it takes a few months to rank. PPC is good if you have some money to spend on marketing your blog.

SEO is awesome if you know how which keywords to choose.

What is SEO?

What is SEO?

SEO = search engine optimization

There are certain things that you can do to make your blog and posts get a better position in search engines. By doing this, when people search Google or another search engine for something you have written about, it is more likely that you post will be near the top of the search which will bring more people to the blog and read your writing.

Creating high quality and unique content is the heart of your blog. Once you have your post in your blog, use social network sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and so on to promote your post. By that, you are creating traffic to your site.

SEO isn't competition; it's about carefully carving out your niche. You have to realize that there are infinite niches available to you.

I promote my own personal finance blog BlogStash.com offline as well. You can put a bumper sticker on your car, hand out cards, put notes on public bulletin boards etc. You got to get creative if you want your site to survive and thrive.

Hi!
Your blog must have a unique and creative content. Moreover it is according to the demand of your targeted audience so that when you share it on Social Media Websites, you can generate high traffic from it.

I am agreed that the blog you are going to post must be unique content. It should be relevant to the category for which the blog has been written. Keep in kind about the targeting audience and also the blog should be informative, so that it would be beneficial to readers.
