You’ve written a great blog post and you’re sure that it will go viral and attract more comments on it.
But most of the times you don’t see enough results. You’ll be doomed almost everytime after writing a blog posts.
Have you ever thought why your blog posts are not receiving enough blog comments, shares, tweets etc?
This is mainly because..you don’t know how to properly promote your blog posts
Here are the 6 simple things you can do to make your blog posts going viral and bring them more visibility instantly.
1. Share it on social media sites :
Use social networking sites like facebook, twitter, G+ etc to promote your contents. It’s really important for you to share on your Facebook fan pages too. This way you will be getting more online visibility to your blog posts. When you’re newbie it’s really essential to get to know other bloggers and blogs. No one will come to your blog without promoting your blog the right way. So you must be promoting it almost everywhere to get instant reaction.
2. Make thoughtful comments on other blogs :
Blog comments not only bring quality relationships with other blogs but they also give your blog more visibility. Other people will find you easily when they see your blog comments all over the blogosphere, agree? It’s as simple as that. You should leave thoughtful comments on other blogs to create a great impact and generate traffic to your own blogs. Never leave one line comments by saying ‘hey great post, thanks for sharing’ etc. No one will love to have them on their blogs, instead, they’ll send those kind of blog comments into trash. Moreover leaving one liners will not add any value to the posts, In return, you’ll also get the same type of comments. So make sure you’re adding value to the blog comments by extending the discussion of the blog topic or asking questions about the blog post.
3. Be sure to respond to your own blog comments :
This is more important, you should be building a great network around your blog to grow your network, because great connections matter a lot in the long run. The best way to build a network around your blog is, responding to each and every comment on your blog posts. Even if you’re getting negative comments, don’t worry, don’t delete them. Instead, take a second, and look at the negative comment from the readers point of view..if it adds any value then do respond to those comments else ignore them.
4. Bookmark your content :
The bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon, digg, reddit will not only drive traffic to your blog, but also they’re one of the best ways to get quality backlinks to your site. Yea, bookmarking sites will give you quality results in both terms, so don’t ignore them once you finished writing a blog post to make it going viral.
5. Email few readers :
If you’ve any blogging buddies or readers, do send them your latest blog post details including title, topic and link. This way you can let them know your latest blog updates. But don’t overdo it. Don’t send daily updates, this can create bad impact on you. Or they may simply ignore helping you.
6. Make sure your content is optimized :
Don’t neglect the search engines. They’re very important to bring quality traffic to your blog. I’m not saying you to keyword stuff your blog posts though, but it should at least have keywords in titles, meta description, url, sub heads etc. And don’t forget adding tags (minimum 3 tags/post is enough) to generate more clicks on your blog posts.
Over to you :
What else do you do after writing your blog posts? Share your views here.
Social Sharing is important for having traffic. Well, Using Reddit, Twitter and Facebook is must for that.

I think the hardest thing to do is blog comment, because we never know whether the comment, got approved or not … but hopefully my comment in here got approved,anyway thank you for nice article

Well I don’t think commenting is too hard. Basically, i believe in not doing comment spamming in any blog. You should only comment when you feel you have something to say about the post, or about the related comments. After-all, we do the same job and some have better success rate than others
I agree with Fikri, I do feel like I wasted my time when I go back to a blog and see my comment never got approved. So it’s important to interact with your base readers, they are your strongest chance to increase the popularity of you posts. And social networking is the new internet for a lot of people, to them Facebook is the world wide web, AOL all over again.

Saikumargr these are all very good tips of promotion. I believe that social networks is probably one of the best methods of promoting ones blog. But like you said, you don’t want to slam the world with too much self promotion or it could have a reverse effect.
Have you seen many results that come from email forwarding done by site subscribers? Seems this could spread pretty rapidly. Although it would probably be a hard tactic to track results from.

I usually write in my own language, but when I write a really good blog post, I sometimes translate it to english and talk to some of the english blogs about posting it there as well as a guest blogger. It can generate some valuable backlinks that way, and also help your image and reputation if people notice you.
I agree with you: promotion on Social Media is really important.
I think that it’s important to focus on one Social Media, conquer it and then go to the next one.

Hi Saikumargr,
Thanks for sharing the information on making a post viral ,
But You could have also mentioned some on- page thing you can do , which will support above points.Like one could Do
-Attractive title of can say some controversial sort of ,which will immediately pull the attraction.
-one can use images or featured images with the post this will be a great source of attraction,and people will click to your post and see what is there in the post
-one can give very attractive description in twisted way, by twisted means if you confuse the reader ,then he will automatically open the article and would be desperate to see what is there in the article.
But still a very nice attempt ,
Thank you

Good information to know, since I am a newbie blogger. Social media is definitely a great way to get more exposure. I’m still in the process of learning. Glad this site has great information.
I agree. All avenues need to be explored to get the bang for your wallet! Social Media encompasses so many areas that it can be overwhelming sometimes, however, with time and practice it can certainly be mastered. Good luck.
Do you think the above methods can bring in subscribers to the blog? I am doing the above method for a year still couldn’t find even one subscriber. Please do advice.
It seems that you missed out on one of the most important things: sending out an email about the post to your email list!

In the old days new bloggers used to focus more on the theme and impact of the article which would make them “famous” rather than promoting it obsessively.

Unfortunately, the stumbleupon and reddit is a real brickwall if you don’t have your content discovered with proper tags. Reddit is one I would stay away from since there are nothing but angry liberal anal-retentives there.
tonygreene113 recently posted..Do You Prefer Kate Upton Sexy or Seductive?
Reddit has pretty much stonewalled anyone with self-promotional material, regardless of if the person is spamming or actually has interesting and new content. It’s a bit of a paradox. Stumbleupon has so far been kind.

hello Saikumargr – The two best ways for me to get the word out are Social networking sites and email lists. Although Social Media may be the best at it, since feeds on there spread like wildfire especially when we have built a sizable network of interested people.

I’m afraid that I regularly do these things but have had only one of my blog posts go viral — and I think it was accidental. But this is stuff that people should be doing to all their posts anyway, just to keep up with competition, which is doing the same things.

Oh good to see that I am doing all of the above except bookmarking. But not so happy that despite all of it, my posts do not really get shared a lot. Lets see if bookmarking helps.

When commenting there is always a risk of rejection of the comment. To increase your chances: use your name, do not spam, no one tekst for all blog posts. When blogging in other languages than English the amount of possibilities that are effective are far less than when writing in English. facebook, etc do work though.
bert recently posted..Marketing nekt mkb
A good post that reinforces that you still have work to do when you have finished writing your post.
When you start promoting content online, it is worth tracking where you pick up traffic and where you don’t so you can modify or drop the bookmark sites or social pages that are not driving traffic.
I have found that by only creating and promoting the best content you can, you can pick up momentum and tweets, facebook likes and Google+ adds start to snowball.

I’ve dabbled on the bookmarking sites, mostly stumbleupon, but my bookmarking my posts rarely makes a difference. Maybe they think I’m a spammer. Maybe I need to stumble other people’s links more often. I need to try Reddit again, but I think my first experience there was not the best.
Brian recently posted..Gorreana’s Rare Grown Teas Launches Online North American Store
Not sure I agree with the bookmarking. Most are no-follow links, and you pretty much have to be a top contributor to get a following in order to get traffic.. I agree with the rest though, even though keeping up with Social Media is almost a full time job by itself.

Share on Facebook & Twitter is a must. However, need more creativity in creating blog content. If not, reader will just drop by and fly away. Sharing in bookmarking however not really popular in some countries especially when the content not in english. Anyway, thanks for the great tips.

I have definitely made use of Facebook and Twitter for quite some time now but also feel that use of Google+ is pretty much compulsory when looking at it from an SEO aspect. Anybody that has a website really should have a Google+ page for it and begin building an audience there. Google is definitely watching everything that is going on at Google+, of course :]
I also think that Pinterest will continue by leaps and bounds this year and their new business site will also be one to add to the mix. Definitely one to keep your eye on.

Nice tips,
I think pinging your site and submitting it to social bookmarking sites like del.icio.us, reddit and diigg can also boost your virality.
Plus try to reply to all comment that your readers leave on your best.

Absolutely great tips, especially about the blog commenting. I have a small list of sites that I use to promote content because the authors actually respond to me and the content is still hoppin’ fresh! I would actually add guest blogging to this list. It’s REALLY helped me get exposure and it’s fun to research the topics.
Thanks!

Great tips. But although we do all these stuff sometimes we will not be getting our expectation, is that just because the reader is not satisfied with my post?

Hi Kevin,
Ya that might be the case, it doesn’t matter how well and neat you write blog and if it doesn’t convey any information for what the reader is looking for then you will fail to get more attentions.

These are all really great things you should always be doing. I have found that I can easily drive 100 visits a day just from reddit alone. If you guys have not tried to get traffic from there yet, you may want too. The key is submitting quality content. They will hit you hard for spam, so always focus on the quality.
