Doing so means you get exposure to thousands and thousands of other CommentLuv users and your posts get sent out to the massive subscriber list.
Google loves this site and indexes it multiple times per day and posts always get lots of comments so you can be sure of some excellent exposure.

Creating awareness for your blog and getting people to know your blog do exist is very important except if you are keeping a personal blog you will love to read all by yourself, if not, you will surely want to make your blog known to the world.
Making your blog know to the world is not quite easy (what is easy in this world) but not unachievable. We have seen people who built super blogs within a short time frame (like 3 months) and you too can achieve such feat by following the 4 methods I will be sharing with you in this post.
So let’s dive straight into it.
1. Blog Commenting
Blog commenting is a great way to get some attention for your blog, blog commenting simply involves leaving value-adding comments on top blogs around the web. For this to work, your contribution must be “meaningful” so that other readers will be curious to know more about you.
When your comments add values to this post, other readers will want to know where this intelligent person surfaced from, and since you will usually put your blog URL in the URL box when commenting, there is high probability of them clicking through to your blog and they may eventually become a fan of you.
2. Guest Blogging
Guest blogging is no doubt the best marketing technique of this century with lots of bloggers using this technique to build blogs with massive following within a short period of time. Bloggers like Onibalusi Bamidele, Danny Iny and Jon Morrow to name a few used a guest blogging to make their blog known.
They created a buzz and lots of awareness for their blogs by writing on various top blogs in their niche and result was “extraordinary”. So “start guest blogging to get Known” Today.
3. Blog Communities
Blog communities are becoming popular in recent times; blog communities are sites where bloggers come together to share, vote and read contents from various bloggers from around the world.
Joining these blog communities will give you a chance to showcase your blog to lots of bloggers from around the world who are members of these communities, so it’s more of like putting your blog and content directly in front of the eyes of a gathering of people.
There are quite a bunch of blog communities out there such as: Blokube, Blog Interact, Biz Sugar and lots more. Some of them are free (like Blokube & Blog Interact) while some are paid. Go join them today and make your blog known.
4. Social Media
Social media sites like: Facebook and Twitter can also be used to create awareness for your blog. We all know that lots of people are addicted to social media sites (I am one), so it will be a great place to create awareness for your blog.
The trick to make effective use of social media sites is to connect with like-minded people, you should follow and make friends with people that has the same interest as you and at one point or the other, don’t be shy to ask for a “Retweet” or “Share” as the case may be.
All the methods I have shared with you have been proven to work effectively provided you are willing to put them to practice.
These are the same techniques top bloggers have been using and it is working like “magic” for them and I believe with persistence and commitment you will surely get your blog know with these methods.
What other techniques do you use to create a Buzz around your blog, kindly share them with us in the comment section.

Hi Joesph,
Point well made. You’ve correctly stated the four points here.
In my opinion, the blog communities are the single best source for getting quality and targeted traffic to one’s website.
This is especially true for newbie bloggers who have no background and authority as an author.
By active & constant engagement with the community, the newbie blogger can tide through turbulent times. It will also help establish constant readership for the blog, something which might not happen so quickly in the social platform.
Guest posting comes later on and blog commenting is an option which needs to be exercised on a daily basis. In fact, the newbie blogger must strictly adhere to blog commenting in order to generate any significant readership among fellow bloggers.
Regards
Jay

Blog commenting is a good way to get into guest posting, too. I usually read a blog and find a post or two to comment on before I approach the author about writing a guest post. This shows that I’m genuinely interested in their blog and writing something useful, rather than juts obtaining a cheap link back to my site.

Hi Jay,
You are right, Blog Communities are really great, it is a good place to start for newbie bloggers & if coupled well will blog commenting, one can easily make a new blog known in a short while.
Thanks for your awesome comment

Really nice points, I always believe that niche blogs and forums are best place to promote your blog and attract relevant traffic. However you should avoid spamming.
Pankaj recently posted..Online Recharge Software Development
I agree, I think avoiding spamming is incredibly important. Not only should you connect with these kinds of communities, but you should do so genuinely. Your point should not be to simply grow awareness about your site, but also about contributing to the communities you interact with.

Hey Joseph,
Writing comments is an excellent way to generate traffic to your blog. It also helps practice your writing skills. The comments themselves are valuable, too, because they broaden the article’s content by describing various points of view on the topic.
Having said that, reader’s comments are also a great source of potential article topics for your own writing material.
Enjoyed your post!
