Marketing your articles on Triond is no easy task for most people including the seasoned veterans. You have to know where to look, you have to open up your minds to another form of relay switch.
Nothing is ever easy or just plain simple. Sometimes, you have to get dirty to make it worth it.
Marketing your articles on Triond is no easy task for most people, including the seasoned veterans. You have to know where to look, you have to open up your minds to another form of relay switch.
What I mean by all of this is to think outside the box. I know it sounds cliché, and maybe it is but, some of us need some help and we are not afraid to ask.
I was so honored that so many of my Triond friends and fans came to me for guidance.
I am going to let you in on a few points that I hope will make a difference in your traffic count. At least try one everyday and see if it helps.
Social Bookmarking
By now, everyone is familiar with term but, do you really know if it’s working for you? Bookmarking articles, on many occasions, only benefit’s the writer by cataloging your articles for future reference. Also, Bookmarking is a way for users to manage webpages for the sole purpose of sharing them with people we know.
Honestly, this is from my own experience now everyone so don’t get upset, I don’t bookmark as much as the next person. If you have hundreds of friends that will religiously read your work than that’s wonderful but, would you mind millions of people across the globe surfing on the internet reading your work? Hmm
This is why I spend more time submitting to the sites that will make even a greater difference in page views.
I have noticed that when I directly submit my URL to the link submission page for every search engine my articles get crawled even quicker than if I submit through the Triond submit link tool next to the article.
As writers, we want our articles presented to the masses as quickly as possible not only for exposure but, to make a little pocket change.
If you have a lot of time, check out these social networks:
- Digg - Make lots of friends because this is the true driving force of this website.
- Stumbleupon - Add a toolbar to your browser to submit every piece you read and write.
- My Space
Url Submission
These are the direct links to the major search engines to get you noticed right away.
- Google - Direct link to URL: submission
- Yahoo - Direct link to URL: submission
- Live - Direct link to URL: submission
- Ask - You can’t submit to Ask. They will find your link through links from other sites. Make sure you included external links in your articles to receive the exposure.
- Search Enginez - Submit to Google, Yahoo, and many others from one place.
- Submit Express - This site will submit your URL to over 40 Search Engines for free!
- Wisenut
- Exact Seek
- Jayde
- Whatuseek
- Scrubtheweb
The list goes on and on.
Submit RSS Feed
Rss Feeds are used to publish work that is frequently changing. It’s a great option for Triond users who are constantly getting comments and submitting new work.
If you are unfamiliar on the location of these feeds, just go to one of your articles and scroll to the bottom where is says Subscribe to RSS.
Click on Subscribe to Feeds and get this screen.
Copy the URL.
Submit the URL to Rss Directories like:
-
Feedburner
-
Feedest
One of my favorites. Submit as many as you can all at once.
-
Blogoculars
- Live Blog Directory with Live News Feeds.
External Links (Hyperlinks)
I can not stress enough how important it is to include as many external links within your blog as possible, remembering to keep it tasteful and relevant.
What is an external link? These links travel back to webpages that are pertinent to the subject matter and of course the word that is highlighted.
Play around with these in your articles. This is the best way for your page to be indexed by the major search engines.
Internal Links
These are links within your blog that pertain to another article you may have written that’s related.
We see these all over Triond:
Try adding some more within your piece.
I know this is quite a bit of information to digest but, if you have the time and most of us don’t, try to use the best options for you. Stop spending so much time on one option. It’s a learning process for all of us. I am here for each and every one of you if you have questions on how to implement the tasks at hand.
This has now become an obsession of mine and I am hoping it makes a difference for you as well. After all, we are all here for the same reason, to write and have our voices heard by fellow writers aspiring for greatness.

Very interesting article. Talking about bookmarking, I have done so and will be back. Thanks for the Tips.
October 6th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Lauren,
A good, timely article! I’ve been looking for ways to make additional cash, and you provided me with some excellent ideas. Thanks for that. I started working as a marketing consultant, found it wasn’t for me. A potential employers who’s interested in me was out all day, which was frustrating.
Meanwhile, I need to support myself and a 17-year old hungry son.
Your article jumped out at me.

Thank tou very much, Lauren, for these tips. Although I started online writing a few months ago, I really don’t know much about promoting my content. I have Digg and StumbleUpon accounts but I merely visit them and I don’t even have friends there yet. I merely share my works to friends and family.
I’m not a very techie person, and online publishing is very new to me. I would certainly learn to try to do these things. Can I contact you should I need to? Thanks a lot.
October 8th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Thanks for all the help, Lauren.
I’m going to add this to my favorites.

Buzz it up. Thanks Lauren. I would like to see more ideas. Are any of the writers in here earning more than a dollar a month? If you are I would love to read an article about how to earn at least $100 a month.

Boomarked this as it is very helpful. Thanks a lot.
March 1st, 2009 at 1:16 pm
I tried stumbleupon recently, but still haven’t got enough friends there. Not really surprising though since I have only been around for 2-3 days. I really wish I could get more friends there.
Anyway, simple things like commenting other people works really do something to increase the number of views. I have been ignorant about those community button for a long time.
I will try the feedburner later, in the mean time I will bookmark this article
