A very effective, but often overlooked way of finding new readers for your blog is to write articles for other sites. There are two ways in which this drives more traffic to your blog. The first, and most obvious way, is by directing readers to your blog via a link at the end of your article and/or your profile on the article site. The second way is that it creates backlinks to your blog. Search engines recognize these links and take them into consideration when ranking your blog.
A common mistake bloggers make when posting to other sites is posting an exact copy of their blog post to the article site. Search engines will penalize you for the duplicate content and this will kill your search engine ranking. Your posts should be rewritten before being posted on the article site. This can be time consuming, but will pay off in the long run. You can save time by using a goodarticle spinning and submission service. Human Rewriter offers a $5 free trial to new customers. If you are just starting out you may want to save some money by using a free article spinning software.
In addition to gaining exposure for your blog, some sites will actually pay you for your articles. Some pay a set fee for the article. Some share advertising revenue generated by your articles. Others allow you to place Adsense or other affiliate links on your article pages.
When using this method you will want to post on as many article sites as possible. Click here for a list of good article sites to submit to.
