Thanks to Rosie Taylor for suggesting this week’s #Blogchat topic on our Facebook page.
We all want to know what we can do to make our blog more visible and build awareness for it. I think when we look at this, we need to consider what we can do on our blog, and what we can do off our blog. And I don’t want to steal anyone’s thunder, but I wanted to offer some ideas for each, and hopefully this will get you thinking as we get ready for tonight’s discussion.
What you can do on your blog to build visibility:
- How can you create compelling content? What type of content is more likely to attract attention?
- How can you engage with readers via comments?
- How can you draw awareness to other blogs as a way to draw attention to your own?
- What about bring in other bloggers to write guest posts?
- Are you actively commenting on your space’s more popular sites and blogs?
- Are you actively commenting on your reader’s blogs?
- Can you write guest posts for other bloggers?

I think Guest Blogging is probably the best way to make yourself noticed, but this “strategy” works only if you’ve been blogging for some time. I don’t see the point of guest blogging if you have only 10-20 articles, you don’t realy have something to offer.
Gareth Boyd says
You can engage with customers via comments, but not many comment on blog posts anymore due to the fact they can share posts if they found it interesting. Whereas it used to be that you would comment on the article to show that you appreciated it and thought it was insightful.
