With the growing interest in blogging as a means of online promotion and branding, a lot of marketers are starting blogs to promote their opinions, products, books and services.

But a blog is like a website. “Write and they will come” isn’t exactly a magic formula to bring in traffic by the boatload.

If you need to promote your website in order to build traffic to it, you need to promote your blog as well.

Here are some ways you can become a well-read and influential blogger.

1. Write Posts That People Will Want To Read

This should be common sense, but many marketers tend to forget that their readers are real people and that you need to use the principles of online copywriting to make your headlines and copy interesting to your readers.

If you write posts that people enjoy reading, they will reward you by returning to your blog regularly.

Make your posts conversational, pithy and topical. Keep them short and stick to one topic per post.

Write often and regularly so that both readers and search engines visit your blog more often.

2. Optimize Your Posts for Search Engines

I cover this topic in detail in my article on “Search Engine Optimization For Blogs”

But here are the most important rules to follow to get your posts listed for keywords of your choice.

• Make sure your blog URL contains the primary keyword you want to optimize for
• Use your primary keywords in the title of your post
• Use your secondary keywords in the body of your post
• Use your keywords in the anchor text of links in the body of your posts

3. Submit Your Blog and RSS Feed To Directories

If you publish a blog you should submit your blog and RSS feed to big directories like Yahoo and Dmoz, as well as the numerous blog directories and search engines.

Bookmark the Ping-O-Matic ping results page so you can visit it and quickly ping a number of services with a single click.

5. Build Links To Your Blog

I recommend the methods here as the best ways to get links pointing to your blog.

• Link to your blog from each page on your main website
• Trackback to other blogs in your posts
• Post legitimate comments on other blogs with related topics
• Offer to exchange links with other similarly themed blogs and websites

6. Edit Your Blog Posts Into Articles

One of the best methods for promoting your website is to write articles and submit them to article directories.

7. Create Buzz About Your Blog

Creating a buzz about your blog posts and topic in the local and online media will give your marketing a viral component.

• Create a controversy around your blog or it’s topic.
• Distribute bumper stickers or other merchandise with your blog’s URL and tagline.
• Write a press release about something newsworthy and tie it in with your blog topic.

8. Capture Subscribers By Email

It may seem strange for a blogger to send out updates by email, but email is still the #1 choice of most people who want to receive news and information.

Using a free service like Bloglet to manage your subscriptions is easy and it allows your subscribers to manage all their subscriptions from one interface.

However, if you want more control over your list and don’t mind mailing out the updates yourself, you can use an autoresponder system to capture and follow-up with subscribers.

RSS Responder is a new script that allows you to keep in touch and follow-up with your subscribers without the hassle of email.

These tips should give you a good start to building your blog traffic.

Verizon fios Television hasn’t been as widely accepted as it must be. Intended for the living room and its big-screen Tv, the Verizon fios Television lacked the simplicity that consumers expected from an Verizon FiOS-branded living-room technology. Additionally, it didn’t take benefit of these big-screen Television and its accompanying audio program by creating it difficult to view HD content and impossible to listen to surround sound.

With the 2nd version of Verizon fios Tv, Verizon fios attempts to address these concerns via a revamped system for new users or software update for current users. It does so by very first severing the often confusing cord among the FiOS Television and your laptop or computer, allowing the device to perform largely on its own. Even with out the mixed relationship, those having a broadband connection can view streaming videos and movie trailers as well. Users can also rent standard and hi-def films from the comfort on the couch.

This, along while using FiOS TV’s decreased price, streamlined interface, capability to output surround sound audio, make the deal worth a lengthy second appear if you passed on the initial offering. There were drawbacks New York Verizon fios buyers needed to put up with. They also had to realize the romantic relationship among the FiOS Tv plus a network scattered about the residence. Beyond that, there remained the puzzle of getting content material you owned onto the box. Sure, you could buy movies in the rental Store, but the Verizon fios catalog of movies was really limited, and its movie price didn’t often compare favorably to the DVD version. If you wanted to encode the DVDs you currently owned, there was no help.You needed to unearth the tools for ripping your DVDs and possess a measure of know-how to make use of them.

Free enhancements have been presented to FiOS TV Facebook and Twitter widgets, a two interactive social televisions applications recently added by Verizon. With the fresh upgrades, consumers can transmit Twitter messages without turning-on their PC. Text based micro blog posts on real time provides a good messaging networks. And by using an onscreen keyboard, they could also modify their Facebook account.

Verizon’s FiOS television and high-speed internet services are offered through its existing network. FIOS television primarily concentrates on the new features to improve customer experience of social marketing network. Subscribing to FiOS TV will give you the ability to connect with your peers using your own TV screen.

The new features added by FiOS just this July were Facebook, Twitter, ESPN and Online video services, provided by a new store called “The Widget Bazaar”. This will allow FiOS subscribers to obtain new apps or widgets. This will also be open to third-party developers under revenue sharing agreement.

Triple Play looks to be the playing ground among cable but FiOS could keep up with them. Verizon even defy this competition by offering more FiOS TV feature along with its bundles.

The primary reason of Verizon’s continuous growth is its FiOS TV and Internet services.
The company upholds to widen its service across all market. The FiOS TV exercise a positive consumer growth which is also reflected by their steady development over the past two quarters. Verizon had about a few million consumers of its FiOS television marked at the end of 2009’s second-quarter. Verizon’s increasing coverage area for FiOS will able them to compete against companies such as AT&T and Sprint. Also this development will them provide 4G service strengthening their wireless service.

Once again, and quite possibly for the final time today, we gather at the water cooler to have some titillating conversation that will be sure to stretch those gossip muscles to their full potential. On the cards this time is a Jennifer Aniston disection. This is a woman who fits the more ‘real’ bracket of the celebrity species. She just always seems so nice. There’s alot you can tell from paparazzi shots-it’s all in the eyes. And you’ve got to love her because she will insist on choosing the worst films to star in. Cheese on cheese on drab romantic comedy come herding in, committed to celluloid. You can pretty much detect whether a film will be good or bad based on how high up Aniston comes on the credit listings. That can’t be good for her film cred. She’s not had the best luck with men Ieither. I need not mention the Pitt, nor the Mayer fiascos. Will she ever find happiness. For some reason we all want her to. She has a whole possy of makeup artists and stylists who cluster around her employed to help her appear younger and more fresh faced. She recently wore a bespoke dress whilst promoting her new film ‘Marley and Me’which was dyed to match her eye colour exactly. That’s celebrity for you!
