Link, Ping, Promote Other Blogs

Most bloggers out there think that outbound links hurts their reputation and might cause a lose of readership, but this is absolutely false. Infact outbound help them to gain popularity and readers. How?, I’ll explain..

Outbound links help you to build strong relationship with other bloggers. They’ll start reading your blog and if your content is good, they will surely ping you back and start leaving comments. But keep in mind that content matters the most, if you excessively link with very little content, it’ll hurt both your SEO and revenue.

Promoting other blogs will also help you to bring traffic into your blog. If you promote someone’s blog and if he gains some traffic out of it, he will surely reciprocate back by promoting your blog.

Early this morning, I took a look at my stats and found that I had received over 4000 hits from StumbleUpon for this article, It was submitted by Ajay DSouza, I thanked him (over IM). It encouraged me to promote his stories on StumbleUpon (or on any other site for that matter)

I’ve come across few bloggers who submit only their stories to Digg, Reddit or StumbleUpon, I promote stories which interests me !!

  • The general thinking of a newbie - links to outside are BAD ! LOL

    No wonder they remain noobs :P
  • Yeah thats true.I do it 2wice a month in "Spawners" and if i write an article related to others i just ping them.Its cool.

    BTW nice pics lol
  • Yes, that is very true; naturally, I do bookmark or subscribe to other blogs that link to me, for example Technospot which pinged me a minute ago, and pinged your StumbleUpon post. Most bloggers that ping me I subscribe to, so there's outbound links for you. And why not promote some good content by doing so? There's no excuse.
  • I always give good outbound links in my article, because web is made up of link. If no one will give link, then there will not be any web.
  • Frankly, I never cared about my rep for linking to other sites, I always give credit where credit is due, and hell I even have 11 links on my blog roll, including "Tech-Buzz" and "Thilak Inside" and I have found all these links going both ways are helping my site and the people I am linking to.

    Also, none of my links use the rel="nofollow" trick to stop the search engine following on to them, why should I be greedy and not share my blogs success?
