  • 20 Free Tips for Marketing your Blog

    1. Decide on a stand alone domain name www.myblog.com or directory of existing site www.mysite.com/blog. Sub domain is also an option blog.mysite.com. Avoid hosted services that do not allow you to use your own domain name!
    2. Obtain and install customizable blog software – WordPress and Moveable Type are my favorites.
    3. Customize blog look and feel templates – aka design.
    4. Research keywords and develop a glossary – Keyword Discovery, WordTracker, SitePoint, SEOBook Keyword Research.
    5. Optimize the blog:
    * Template optimization – RSS subscription options, social bookmark links, HTML code, Unique title tags, URLs, Sitemap
    * Add helper plugins specific to WordPress or MT
    * Create keyword rich categories (reference your keyword glossary)
