For a new blogger like me..nope..I don't consider myself a blogger yet,because I'm still new at this..I think a blogger is someone who has been blogging long enough to have an own audience,a reputable blog and making money from it!I think I'll just consider myself a new guy with a blog.I rephrase that..For a new guy with a blog,the most important thing is to get the blog expose to a bigger and larger audience as possible,with a hope by doing this,the blog can attract readers to it and become loyal readers.Having a good blog with good quality content won't mean much if the one reading it everyday is just your mom,your family and friends..and of course your girl or boyfriends.(My mom don't know I have a blog,so does my family and friends,so that just leave me with one loyal readers everyday,that is my girlfriend :-) and I think she's the only one who subscribe to my blog so far).So what do I do to expose my blog to a bigger and larger audience?
This Is What I Did.
This Is What I Did.
- I submit my blog to blog directories - So far I manage to get a few visits from Blog Catalog members.
- I join forums - Members from Bloggerforum,Bloggeries and Bloggertalk have visit my blog.
- I submit my blog to Link Referral - This is a nice place,the most visits I get is from here.
- I'm working my way into Google Rank and hopefully with time my rank will get higher and will start generating visit from here.
- I leave comments on other blog,and some of them are nice enough to visit my blog.
Any other way to expose it?
BlogUpp.
Before I start,just want to get this clear.

- THIS IS NOT A PAID REVIEW.
- THIS IS NOT SOME KIND OF PROMO.
- THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT.
OK..most of you might be familiar with BlogRush or EntreCard.BlogUpp works almost in the same way but I think with greater benefits.By simply looking at the de facto exchange ratio comparison we can see why.
- BlogUpp - 10:9
- EntreCard - N/A
- Spott - 10:5
- BlogRush - 10:2
This data is from BlogUpp website and you can check it up here.It certainly shows that BlogUpp give the best exchange ratio of 10:9,that is for every 10 readers to your blog,your blog will be shown to 9 readers on other blog.Nice isn't it?
Here is some facts about how it works and you can always check about BlogUpp by visiting their website.
