How To Promote Your Posts in 10 Minutes to 1 Mio People
Sunday, 21. September 2008
Getting a lot of traffic even if your content is first class, can be quite tricky if nobody knows your website. Learn how to get known to a huge audience within 10 minutes by promoting your posts to more than 30 of well visited websites. This is a totally free kind of marketing. Enjoy!
As others tried to collect some sites to promote your posts, we found it a bit confusing to check so many different collections and created our own list. By the way, it is a little secret of our success, which got under the top 100.000 alexa ranking during the last days.
How to start
The method we are using is to tease our content at communities or user link sections of other great known and visited websites. We will need all times the same information and it will go much faster, if we prepare a list of the post details with:
- post title (max. 10 words),
- post description (max. 20 words),
- post url,
- tags for the post and
- a teaser image on your desktop.
Be advised not to use spammy words, since most of the sites will kick your news out and your chance is lost. If a registration is required or some other anti-spam question is to answer, your post will arrive for sure, so don’t bother the long way.
Sites to promote your post
These are all great sites, but we have listed them in the order we think they succeeded the best for us. It might not fit for you, but we would love to hear your own experiences. Just leave a comment!

What to do after submitting?
It won’t stop. Check after some hours the first results and optimize your post. Add a advice for subscribing to your rss feed or give some similar links beneath the post. If you like or need, use a heatmap tool and check out the hot zones to place an advertisment there. But the most important thing is to KEEP THE USERS ON YOUR SITE. Sometimes it justs helps already to say a thank you to the comment writers.
