How To Get 1 Million Hits!

Hi everyone! I just read all of your wonderful ideas about what kind of prize should be had for my 1 million visitors giveaway! I will let you know what I have chosen when the milestone approaches! While I was reading your comments, I came across a suggestion from one of my followers, aussiegold (thanks Phil!). He wanted me to write a post about blog promotion. So that's what I am going to do today!

1. You want people to visit your blog so it needs to be interactive in some way. You need to keep the information new and updated so people have a reason to keep coming back. Maybe ask them to comment. Post a giveaway (this is a great idea to try). Anything to get your name out! On this note, create your own button so people can share it on their blog!

2. Love what you do and it will show! It also helps if your blog/webpage is useful to others. When I first began blogging, I found many sites that were very useful. When I finally learned how to tweak my blog to be "just right" I wanted to share what I had learned with all of you! And it helps if you offer "free stuff", too!

3. It's all about public relations! So, respond to people who leave comments! Visit their blogs. Don't forget to leave your email or contact button somewhere on your blog. Encourage people to write to you, and write back to them. Try and develop relationships with your visitors.

4. Get your name out there. List your blog on blog circles, advertise your blog on other blogs (like Tina's ;) or advertise on much larger scales. My personal favourite: Trek Advertising!

5. Wait it out. I didn't have all the traffic to start with. It takes time! But with regular posting and following these tips, your blog will slowly be known in the blogosphere.

With these suggestions in mind, your site can reach 1 million visitors, too!

Hi Tina! Great of you to respond to the requests for blog promotion tips. I'd also like to ask how many hours in a day it takes you to promote your site.

John said...

Congratulations on your one million hits! Any suggestions on the type of giveaways? What are the past giveaways that you've had?

tututina said...

Chris- Hi! I don't spend too much time promoting my site as Trek Advertising does it for me :) But on average I would say I spend about 20 min a day responding to emails, dealing with my small advertising business or adding content to my blog.

John- Great question. You can read about my previous giveaways at this link: http://tututina.blogspot.com/search/label/giveaways

Chris said...

And I love the Christmas buttons too. What did you use to design them? And your blog too. It's so nice and colorful.

Congrats! I regularly visit your blog for new ideas and it really is very helpful...I particularly like your button/ badge post...

Hi Tina,
Congratulations on getting 1 million visits.
I think "word of mouth" is the best advertising any blog can get. I have several blogs and when someone (like you) puts one of my blog links on their blog I get visitors to all my blogs...One links to another,so on and so on...Keeping your readers interested in your blog and giving them something to look forward to sure helps. Your devoted fan, Kowgirl

tututina said...

Chris- thanks! I use a free program called Paint.net to design all my "stuff!".

Yukki- Thanks Yukki for always making regular appearances in my comments!

Shirley- Great to hear from you my friend! Word of mouth is a great idea...I probably should have wrote that, too! It's fast, easy and free, too! Hope you are doing well! :)

Chris said...

Thanks Tina! I'll look at Paint.net and see if it'll work well with my artistic side. ;-)

Hi Tina,
Good day. I always see your advertisement on Trek Pay. Honestly speaking I am only new in blogging about 15 days old. I want to ask if how can I link my blog site with other blog related or with same niche. Also if you have time can you visit my blog
http://mattscradle.com
and give some comments or point of improvement. Thank you very much.

Hi Tina,

Everything you told is true to my heart. I would like to ask you here about TreckAdvertise you referred.

I read it somewhere that it is dangerous to advertise your site through TreckAdvertise. Some got their account banned due to this. I'd like to get your ideas and confirm can I use it for my website which has adsense ads?

Tina the thing I would stress about blogging is the correct use of the English language when writing a blog post or an article. I see a lot of blogs that have so many English grammar mistakes and
some are so bad it is hard to know exactly what they are writing about. So please tell your readers to proof-read each and every post and/or article or have someone else read it to catch these common mistakes.
Your devoted fan and follower
Shirley

Chris said...

I absolutely agree with you Shirley. If I see grammatical errors, I quickly assume that the blog is just spam. ;-)

Unknown said...

Hi again Tina! Really pleased you liked my suggestion. Great little article you have posted to get your readers on the right track to more traffic.
Thanks heaps for sneaking that little link in for me......have had quite a few visits from it already:-)
Keep up the great work.

Blessings,
Phil.

... its not a dream or a joke, it is just a possibility for
investors and for you to earn more money
... Its sounds really unbelieveable but its just easy to explain.
... totaly legal and without any problems
... Investors will giving money to you, because those investors want
to splitt their money
... You just invest the money that will be gifted to you by the investor.
... This project will cost you not even one penny
... you will be able to earn up to 3500 US$ monthly and dont have to
do anything for it.

In 2009 we startet with the 1st project of this kind and it went very
