Obviously it’ll have impact on your rankings like more links would flow to your blog being popular hence better Google SERPs. Traffic & feed subscriber count would be boosted as many readers would come to know about your blog.
5 Ways To Make Your Blog Popular -
1. Unique Exclusive Post - An unique post that can be either a very useful link bait(post with links giving everything about any thing) or be something that’s not existing on internet/blogosphere like or a secret unfolded in public or a news that’s yet to be published world wide etc. I remember a guy who exposed insecurity of a online payment site in his tech blog & became famous of that which also got his blog featured in national news paper. For Tech bloggers it can be a either a collection of exclusive tips & can be a big resource link bait for blogs targeting webmasters/bloggers.
2. Get Featured/Reviewed In Top Blogs - This is a common way of making your blog & other online business where you pay the top bloggers to write about your blog/site in their blog. This brings many potential users to your blog as top blogs have a widest possible audience who would know about your blog. So this spreads a buzz about your blog among targeted mass. For this you need to find the top blogs related to your niche & pay them to review you.
Steps - Join sponsored review sites like ReviewMe , SponsoredReviews.Com, Blogsvertise.Com, Payperpost etc as advertisers & using their system find the top blogs on specific categories. They all do rate blogs according to popularity. ReviewMe would find you best bloggers of your niche & payperpost gives you chance to be featured on a lot of good blogs both of them being popular ones.
ReviewMe - This paid blogging market place has the best blogs of world like John Chow dot Com, DoshDosh (of webmaster niche) & hence is perfect place to buy reviews from best blogs of your niche. Tough price is more, people who have purchased reviews got good returns. After you join Reviewme browse the individual pages corresponding to the tags you are interested in. That would show different blogs related to that tag sorted in decreasing order of popularity and rankings and you should visit those & buy reviews from them using the clean interface of ReviewMe. Also you can create a new campaign & choose to buy reviews on different blogs you want.
SponsoredReviews.Com - Join SponsoredReviews.Com and create a new campaign& specify a price you would offer for a review & which categories of blogs you want a review in. Then bloggers would bid & contact you with their review price offer,you can then select or reject the offer. But this may not bring you reviews from best blogs on internet but ideal to spread the buzz as bloggers contact you seeing your listing.
Payperpost - If you want your blog featured on more number of blogs to widespread the buzz about your blog at many places this is best choice as it has a lot of big bloggers even tough not the best ones like ReviewMe did. Perhaps the payperpost bloggers commonly known as posties have to publicly declare that the review they have posted is a sponsored one.
3. Advertise In PPCs Like Google Adwords - You can invest a good deal of money creating good looking effective advertisement campaign to get traffic to your blog and to convince every one (target any country, keywords etc) that your blog has good content. Google Adwords may not be best way to drive traffic to your blog but good to tell the mass the contents you have in your blog. Best way is to spend more & make your ads show in most(maximum) places. PPC refers to advertisement system where you pay per a click on your ad i.e. a visitor to your site. In PPM you pay a price say $0.50 for your ad to be seen by 1000 viewers or gets 1000 page impressions. I don’t think any other advertisement systems than adwords would work for blogs. For example you can see JohnChow.Com appear in adsense in most blogs & he’s getting good returns. To start with you can use this coupon for getting $50 balance in Adwords for new Adwords accounts.
4. Run A Big Contest In Your Blog - Contests are one of the ways using which many many blogs became popular but they all had good giveaways in prizes. You can have contests in your blogs with prize like $1000 cash or more and the more money you give as prize more famous would your blog become. A guy gave a lot of prizes worth $5000 and few dayz back I was surprised to see that it has more than 7000 feed subscribers & is amongst top 10 bloggers on blogging. After you have such huge prize- you get many bloggers including top bloggers blog about your blog & a buzz is being spread out to all by the big prize which gives a lot of audience & you need to carry one. A prize worth $100 also can spread some buzz and bring about 250-400 feed subscribers & few links.
5. Link Popularity - This is popularity of your pages in search engines like Google Search technically termed SERPS (search engine ranking & position) & Pagerank (not at all important). You should do a bit on site SEO or search engine optimization of your blog and build natural links to your blog (good posts would bring a good number of links so concentrate on content). Also you may hire a SEO expert for this but do it your selves is the best option. If search engines like your blog then it would get good search engine or organic traffic. You can hire some one to build natural links to blog or purchase text links by joining several link trading sites or market places like TextLinkAds (TLA) (you can get links worth $125 paying $25 from TLA using this coupon link). Other popular link market places are TNX.Net,Linkworth etc
