Each person who writes on this topic has an individual approach to it. I appreciate yours, especially the load of graphics to support your message. This is a multimedia medium, is it not? Many of us forget this point. I am sorry that so many have posted one-liners as comments. It seems rather lame. We are all people and we put some effort into our work. If some of us have read the produce of that work we at least owe more than a one-liner. You have touched on networking, but rather indirectly. I would like to see your thoughts on networking as a major backbone to promoting your blogging activity. Will you take up my challenge? If you do and you would like to brainstorm or just bounce some ideas off someone, please email me. Cheers! ~Ron <abbr><em>R.

This allows useful links to gain 'link juice' or whatever it's called, while spammy links won't receive anything. <em>Jack's last blog post..<a href='http://jackhynes.tumblr.com/post/34327554' rel="nofollow">"The simple truth is that poor people breed like rats, and they’re going to drag down the rest..."</a></em> @pia I like the way the Google fan blog “Blogoscoped” handle it, all links within comments are no followed for a few days and if they’re not deleted they automagically lose the no follow tag.

Promoting yourself is fine as long as you have something to add. I don't do the no follow thing as it produces too much spam Most people I know moderate comments--I don't for several reasons However i link to bloggers in posts Most blogging platforms will ping technorati, Google etc--once you're picked up by them, they come every day Don't confuse the number of comments a post generates with the amount of people who read the post. You never know who will link to the post, remember it and you and possibly do great things for you in the future. Be most concerned with the quality of the post. In the end content is king. When you're first beginning, do comment on as many blogs as possible--the blogger should return at least the first comment and more Email bloggers who comment and who have blogs you want to read regularly. It's a nice thing to do, and bloggers have long memories If you have a niche that's great. If you don't just focus on the quality of the post. If you write with passion and authority, people will find you Unless you're solely out to make money from your blog, think of it as a fun thing to do. When it stops being fun, take a break--you can always put in "classic" posts. I delete all comments that don’t directly relate to the post I have written.
