Author: Using RSS And Blog Submissions For Blog Promotions
It happens to everyone at some point in time. You have a great idea for a blog on a new niche topic. You create the blog; you post interesting and creative posts to it each day and then nothing.
You post your brilliant and original thoughts for everyone online to read but no one is coming around to read your blog. And because no one can find your blog to read it you are not generating any links or improvement in your search engine rankings either. What is a blogger to do?
Promoting your blog is essential to its success. You need to promote your blog so that you become recognized as an expert in your chosen niche and can monetize your blog. However you also want to promote your blog to increase the traffic to your site reach a new reading audience and most importantly to create as many inbound links as possible. Creating inbound links ensures that your website rankings and search engine optimization efforts pay off for you in the biggest ways possible.
You want to promote your blog to as many people in your niche market as you possibly can. And you want to do it as often as you possibly can. Some people believe that the best way to promote a blog is through comments on other popular blogs with a link to your own blog comments on UseNet or other Internet message boards or forums posting press releases and articles etc.. However the easiest and most time efficient way to promote your blog is through RSS feed and blog submissions to directories hands down.
The issue with using a manual feed submitter or using an individual RSS submitter is that it is very time consuming to deal with on a consistent basis. Most bloggers want to write their posts and be done with their work for the day. They do not want to spend a halfhour writing a post and then three more hours trying to submit their RSS feed and content to directories in hopes of bringing in some readers and sneaking up their search engine rankings.
The good news is that today programmers have developed some great semiautomatic RSS feed submit tools which you can now choose from to help submit your RSS feed and blog to directories without it being so time consuming. Feed submitter software programs allow you to simultaneously submit your blog and RSS feeds to literally thousands of directories and to do it all with only a couple quick clicks of your mouse.
Setting up the RSS feed submission software is simple to do and the submission process takes very little time to complete. Using RSS feed submitters is much easier and quicker than attempting manual RSS submits.
If you are a blogger interested in publishing RSS feeds XML feeds and getting your feed out into the RSS databases of the world I would highly suggest that you check out some of the amazing new RSS software tools available to you today on the market. Choose a tool that is easy to use and one which will allow you to reach the maximum amount of directories possible for the least amount of work.
Writing your blog posts should be the hardest part of blogging not trying to get noticed and dealing with SEO. Thankfully the advent of semiautomatic feed submitters allows you to spend your time doing your writing and not dealing as much with promotion.

Here are a couple of ways you can get traffic quickly but you will need shell out the dollars to do it.
1. You could pay for PPC advertising; this is basically advertising on search engines and having your ad show up in the sponsor section.
2. You could pay for banner ads on high traffic websites. For instance I read about a person who paid 2000 dollars for 1 month on a banner ad that was on a website that received thousands of visitors a day. From this 2000 they made 20000 dollars from sales.
3. You can place ads on popular video websites so when visitors watch the videos they will see your advertisement.

If you are patient there are other ways of creating traffic but it will take time to do. Here are a couple of free suggestions to start creating traffic to your website. Do not expect traffic for about 30 days. It will start slow but your traffic will build overtime.
1. Write articles about your business and submit them to article directories
2. Submit your website to directories
3. Create videos and publish them on video sites.
4. Write a press release and distribute the press release
5. Use the social bookmark sites
6. Make your content easy to understand so many people can understand and spread your message.
7. Trade your articles with other webmasters

9. Post to a forum build your reputation
10. Post to a blog build your reputation

By using these methods that I listed you will create traffic to your website. It will just take some time to do. Don’t forget something very important about the methods I listed you must get links back to your website. These are like votes from other websites letting the search engines know that your website is an authority website. So when you are posting to a forum make sure you create your link in the signature. If you are creating a video make sure the video site you are submitting your video to has away of linking back to you or make sure you include your link in the video itself. You want to make sure that people can find your website.
The name of the game is getting many ‘one way links’ to your website as possible. These links will help your website move up in the search engine rankings. The more popular your website is the faster your website climbs to page one.

Website Hosting – A Quick Rundown
Website hosting generally means storing information pages at a remote location servers from where people can access those pages over the internet. There are plenty of Website hosting options and plans available in the market today. Many website hosting plans are offered free of cost and have sponsored advertisements on the hosted web pages. Such plans can be used hosting a personal website or a single page. Businesses and organizations of all sizes usually use enterprise level premium fee based web hosting plans.
A typical Website hosting cycle would involve the following steps:
- Creating required web pages on the local machine.
- Depending on the platform and programming language in which the pages are created web space is acquired. For e.g. if the pages are in ASP then Windows based server should be taken or if the pages are in JSP/PHP Linux based server must be obtained. However if the website comprises simple HTML pages then any type of web server would suffice.
- If the requirement of the website demands user interaction and/or some data to be stored then adequate database space should be procured. For e.g. MySQL Oracle and so on.
- The amount of web hosting space that will be required to host your web pages needs to be determined. Also it needs to be considered that the web site might grow in future and so adequate arrangements for additional web space need to be made in advance.
- After the DNS of the server location is pointed to the domain name the locally developed web pages and other relevant files can be transferred to the remote server location using FTP File Transfer Protocol.
Selecting a website hosting plan depending on the operating system disk space and database has been already discussed above. Let us now look at different types of web hosting services.
- Dedicated web hosting entire web server is owned by a single user and is provided complete rights over it.
- Shared web hosting many users use the same web server and share the server resources.
- Reseller web hosting the users can themselves act as web server owners and allow other users to host websites on their own space.
- Managed web hosting the user owns the web server entirely however is given only limited access to resources and configurations.
- Clustered web hosting same content is hosted on different servers. This aids in effective use of the resources.
Apart from website hosting services there are many specialized services that cater to file hosting blog hosting image hosting and many others
When selecting a website hosting plan it is important to consider the details mentioned above. However it is also prudent to take into account the performance parameters reliability and support services of the web hosting company.
