These tips are helpful for bloggers who are just starting but to those people who use Google Adsense, I think it will be fine if the bloggers will generate natural traffic (a kind of traffic that would be generated from the search engine or pinging sites) so the blogexplosion won’t be okay to use.

Excellent information in original article and in many of the responses as well. This info will be helping me a lot.
I have a large list of email contacts, from friends, friends of friends and and also a lot of less relating contacts.
What experience does anyone have using email for promotion. I am surprised nobody covered any aspect of doing that, at least as far as could see. Anyhow, to do something like that I think using an email programs such as iContact or Constant Contact is fine, but for me it seems like an overkill. I am trying to find something simpler, less expensive, less time consuming to use. I think I am looking for some kind of simple bulk email program with merge capability. I want to be able address those contacts for which I have names with a greeting including their name. And for the recipient to act on my mail, I think to include some kind of offer about Start-Up bonus, Early Bird Special, Grand Opening Special or….
I like to hear what has been working, or not working, for someone else. Best of luck and thank you all so much.

Matt,

Really good article on getting started. One thing I would add since you wrote this awhile back. Make sure the business Google Places listing is claimed and optimized. Make sure you’re promoting the citation information throughout the web and get reviews. Google Places are the first listings for many local search terms now.

Thanks for the information! I didn’t know how involved starting up a small business website could be. Say that I work for a apartment rental agency, do you think I need to have an up-to-date listing of which apartments are available?

Hey, really great post, especially about the blogging communities. I personally use my blog log and get quality traffic to my site from them. plus I get a chance to network with people as well.

Also A good thing to do is to Ping your blog, and Bookmark your approved comments on social bookmarking sites.

Good stuff man.

Great article and really hits close to home. I love articles like this – good job of producing a nice inspiring post. Simple and effective.

This post reminds me that the best entrepreneurial innovators nurture a childlike mind. They are playful, open-minded, and unrestrained by the inner voice of reason, collective cynicism, or fear of failure.

In China, I noticed that top innovators innovate in 8 ways: remix, reproduce, rapid, requirements (of users), restrains, revenues, resources, rivals.
