Advertise Your [Quality] Link Bait Social bookmarking sites, buying link ads, and organic SEO tactics are three ways to get the word out — do you want it fast or slow? But, another method that was brought to my attention by a repected A-lister (who for whatever reason wishes to remain anonymous, but I can respect that) was to send the idea to big news sites (link not related to aforementioned anonyblogger), particularly sports-related sites like ESPN, CBS Sportsline, Yahoo! Sports, etc. Why I didn’t think of this before publishing the Bloggers Tournament is anybody’s guess. But in my defense, the Bloggers Tournament was somewhat of an impulse. The idea is not only to hope they help you spread the word, but to take the notoriety out of your project and give it some acclaim. [...] [...] 3.

Pitch to bloggers -I have only just started to play with SMO/SMM (couple months now) and have been learning a lot from it. Example: On a biz blog I maintain and promote (not the one in my sig) I actually met someone that may do a "local print" news article about what I am promoting. I would have never expected that to happen, but it is happenig, so yes, pitching to other bloggers is a great thing to do because you never know what can happen. I am sure that if it did get in the news paper, it could also be syndicated by that news papers parent company, not to mention almost every news "print news service" shows up in Google news these days . Great post, I can not agree more.

However, at the same time a different thought went through my head, namely that not everyone needs to be on an a-list or nationally recognized to succeed at blogging. There is also something which I'll call grass-roots blogging, whereby you slowly, but surely build up a loyal group of readers. If, for instance, one makes and sells informational products, a loyal readership of 10,000 people a month (about 330 people a day) can be quite profitable if those readers start to become customers of your products. The only point I'm trying to make is that there are different ways to create a successful blog and it's worthwhile being aware of that. Thanks for the nice post.
