Travel Blog Promotion Blog

Getting your Travel Blog seen can be a challenge, but can also be very rewarding.  Here are some tips to help promote your blog.

Get links to your travel blog

Incoming links will boost your rankings in google.  Try to target a particular keyword people may use to find your blog, such as "mauritius travel", and use this as the anchor text for some links. Some ways to get incoming keyword links are:

• Through social bookmark sites such as Folkd, propeller, snipsly etc.  Try to have your keyword in the title of the bookmark, as this will form the anchor text.  Bookmark your new blogposts on several different social bookmark sites.
• Through niche directories.  Submit your site to niche travel blog directories, such as wetravel2.org. These will give you a backlink from a related site.
• Blog Comments. Comment on other travel blogs, build up a community of fellow travel bloggers.  Once you become familiar with each other, you can do things like guest posts on each others blogs in exhange for a link, and drive traffic between each others blogs.  You can find lots of potential blogging partners at our own wetravel2.org travel directory. (shameless plug, we know!!).

The best way to build links is to keep it up regularly, it is better to do a few links a week every week than 100 at once, then none at all for months.  And have patience, it takes time for the search engines to pick up links.

And of course, write interesting content that people will want to link to naturallly.
