One of the more promising things I have tried has been to submit articles to various websites. There are sites where you can find Free Articles that you can add your blog or website. These sites that will also take your 200 plus word article and make it available across their network so that people can bring that content onto their own web page. Now the benefit is that in the credit tags you place links back to your blog and this helps in search engine recognition and extra traffic. This will then lead to greater exposure and build your readership base. As always content is king and this is where you will separate your blog from others. One site that you may look to either submit your article too for great exposure or if you are looking for content where they have over 90K authors and over 900K articles to choose from. If you use WordPress software then you can add in various plugins to help get your site indexed by Google and other major websites.
