Some blogs have gone as far as to buy advertising on other blogs or sponsor review posts. You’re doing this to get more people from other sites to come to your site. Have you considered getting more people to go to the sites you advertise on will be beneficial to you as well?
Comment - Comment on the blog you’re advertising with. The more activity a blog has, the more interest it can maintain. And if you have a sponsored post, comment there as well. Usually blogs will reward their commenters with a link back, which also brings an honorable mention to the post they commented on.
Stumble/Digg - If you have Stumble, Digg, Sk*rt, or any of the other sites like these, make sure you vote for the site and the post. With Stumble you can vote for the site itself, the post, and your comment. Ask all your friends to do this as well.
Search Them - Check them out in the search engines and help them rank higher. If you’ve found some free places to promote your own site, promote your advertising site there as well.
Make A Freebie Blog - With a freebie blog you can help raise your own site and the sites you bought advertising on even just a little bit. Here you can decide what anchor words to use and how to use them. Writing a post a day is an easy way to get traffic to your sites and to help them out in the rankings.
The truth of the matter is, the more your advertising site is seen, the more your ad or post is seen. This can be helpful in getting your topic out in areas it may not have seen before.
If you were to advertise on a pet lover’s site, you could begin promoting them as a pet site. If you’re a domain registrar, you can get out there in any topic. People will go to this site and want to make one of their own, so the pet lover will post about your company and give others the idea to get their own domain to make a similar site.
It’s all common sense, really, but sometimes with so much going on the simple things slip our minds. Let me know if you’ve tried this. Maybe exchange links with a friend and promote their site to expand your own visitor base.
I used to use Sk*rt a lot but then all of a sudden I can’t submit my url’s anymore (off my blog). But I spend almost all day clicking buttons on my stumble toolbar. Get’s me lots of traffic. So it works! I should try the freebie blog thing though. That sounds like fun to do.
August 29, 2007 @ 1:22 pmYou have some good points. Can you describe what you mean by a “Freebie blog”?
Also, you might want to consider getting a “top Commentators” plugin for this site. It will make people more willing to post.
Good Luck :)

August 31, 2007 @ 8:02 amI’ll explain in an entry today all the work I’ve done on this site. I hope you come back and visit soon.
Freebie site is offering free content to your visitors back in the day it was things like brushes and tools for PSP and PS wow that is going really back in the day for me hahaha but free wordpress themes, or codes or tips and tricks will help.
