I'm not a big player but my new blog will soon be bringing in some nice traffic and not because I write unique content that people comment on but its because I promote, link build, seo, and others but overall I work very hard to make it a success. Anyway Nice article I'll have to browse around and check out the rest of the site.

I get the whole need to promote relentlessly, as in "the greatest content in the world sitting all by it's lonesome, on a blog nobody reads" doesn't really help anyone. Just one question - as a TOTAL NOOB to the world of blogs, do you have any advice/posts for suggestions on specifically HOW to promote your blog. When you really, really believe in your message and you really want to get that message out, what do you think are the best ways to.....spread the word? Excellent post and good info.

When I was a wee-one on my own, making a website was easier. I would get a designer to quickly make a design, or alternatively I would go and use a template (as a placeholder). Programming, writing content, hammering out the non-spam emails … it all counted on me. I had no one to blame for failure but my self (and in that same manner, no one to pat on the back for success but me).
