It is also needed that you do some preliminary marketing which will help you get your blog indexed into the major search engines so it can begin receiving organic traffic. There are a few ways which you can get your website indexed one of the best is submitting to the free directories over at directorycritic.com. You should also consider submitting to a few article directories which you can find by going to Google and typing in "list of article directories". In the first few months of your blog very few people will know it exists. If you would like to increase the awareness of your blog try going to the main social bookmarking websites and submitting your top blog posts. Some of the social bookmarking websites I use include digg.com, stumbleupon.com, and delicious.com.
