Hi Guys,


I have one travel blog on bloggers just wanted to know what should i do to promote it so that people can contact me...

Then do all the promotion techniques. Like doing the off page optimization such as Directory submission and put it in travel category. Or Social Media Optimization. Creating your twitter account and targeted all your followers...

Put ads in various forums/websites if you are willing to pay. You can also try out google adwords.
Register facebook fans page, twitter account for your updates and promote it in there.

you can promote it by google adwords
create campaign and target your visitor as you need

AGREED but in adwords i have spend money...i want to promote that free...

So you want to promote yet another "travel blog" in one of the highest competition marketplaces of all and you do not want to spend any money!!!


Right!

My suggestion is that you find another subject to "blog" about.

YA i dont want to spend money now because its new company who doesnt wants to spend on adwords...

More misdirection, if you can't afford a PPC campaign the concentrate on writing good content, try to find other blogs in your niche and build a community. Twitter can be good unless you just want to spread links about your own stuff, have real conversation, show discovered "travel"news links etc..

Also, who is your community (some people call it competition, but really they are not) what are they doing, do they post articles daily? Subscribe to their blogs and lurk, watching them. It takes patience, I lurked for 18mos thinking about a certain niche before starting it, patience my friend. Or $$$$$

Google Adwords is a good idea!
But you need to be good at pointing your target! If not, you will be broke!

Promoting travel blog is very easy. I am tell you just two process one is on page and another is off page.

Onpage:
Create content with niche heading using target keyword.
Analyze your competitors and watch what he is doing.

Off page:
Create quality link structure
do few blog commenting
write guest post on other blog.
keep positive key relationship with professional blogger.

Thanks

I would suggest that you promote with articles. start writing articles day and night and submit them to big article directories and other big travel sites, I am sure there are a lot of them out there.

I would say try specializing in a certain area rather than just general travel. You can throw in some general travel tips as you gain traffic, but like Chris said there so many travel blogs out there. I would focus on on a certain area. I actually have been wanting to start a travel blog but just focus around the area I live in. Maybe get some paid advertising from local businesses. I just am not in the mood to start another project just yet.

YA i dont want to spend money now because its new company who doesnt wants to spend on adwords...

Then tell ya what man - if you don't wanna spend $$$ on adwords - get a couple long KW niches and focus on that. Travel blogs are very competitive...for an example - maybe you can do a travel blog about traveling to "Hiking Longs Peak Rocky Mountains" - ya get the picture.

Google adwords gives you the freedom of as much or less money you can spend...dont choose a high competitive keyword to bid upon....choose, a low competitive keyword...or you can choose other alternative ppc programs such as by entireweb speedy ads..they are charging very low....if you dont want to even spend this much..then go for SEO by yourself..there are lot of tutorials available on the net on how to promote your site yourself....
