Three clever Blog Promotion Tricks

Three clever Blog Promotion Tricks

Here’s three sneaky ways to drive traffic to your blog for almost no money. Some violate the terms of service of the service provider, so be careful and use at your own risk!

Trick #1 - You Review Me, I Review You

For those of you who dont know what ReviewMe is - it is a directory of bloggers who take money to write a post on their blog - usually a review of a product, service or website. This way any sponsor can get a write up in exchange for some money. Some people regard this as unethical means… but I think as long as the review is honest and not misleading AND the blogger clearly indicates that he is writing this review for money - its ok.

Now here’s the trick…

Lets assume a review on your blog costs sponsors $100. Now, sometimes ReviewMe offers a 50% discount coupon to sponsors. Quickly grab one. Then approach another blog listed on ReviewMe and agree to review them for $100 (with 50% discount) if they review you for $100 (with the 50% discount). This way - you will pay each other $50 which will cancel out and you get a review for free! Better still, if you sign up as the advertiser through an Affilaite Link that is on your own site, you get a bonus $25 commission too!

Trick #2 - Text-Link-Ads Starter Trick

Text-Link-Ads offers all new advertisers a $100 coupon if they sign up via the Link Buying Starter Kit. This is great. Simply sign up and purchase $125 worth of ad links - which will only cost you $25 ($100 coupon). Further, you can get another $25 affilaite commission if you are a publisher and sign up through your own link.

Trick #3 - The Free Pay-Per-Click Coupons

Occasionally, Google Adwords, Microsoft AdCenter and Yahoo Publisher Netowrk will issue $100 or more free advertising coupons. These get taken away very quickly. All you need is a credit card to sign up - and whats superb is that you can use the same Credit Card to sign up 5 different accounts… thats $1000 worth of free ads!! So, if you see these coupons, grab them as quickly as you can before they get over. They are generally in short supply and only last for a short period of time. If you have two or more Credit Cards… you can really take advantage of this system!
