Recently I am trying to use blogs to promote my business websites, almost all the blogs on which I chose to work were based on wordpress, so far we all agree that WordPress is wonderful for automated posting, managing and much more, together with Open Source License make the WordPress the most favored blogging kit around the globe.

Then I found out that I probably should build blogs myself, subsequently I can use my own blogs to promote my other websites, this is not something new, all kinds of blog networks are out there for the exact purpose, but those are not my own sites and I don’t have control, in addition there is no way I can post to them, obviously I will have to pay the owner to use their blogs, probably not cheap at all.

If you have tried to maintain a few different blogs you will know its not easy, if you’re not going to just put spams on them, the real content writing is time and money consuming, you have to put in time and money to build a successful blog. Some blogs are quite interesting, look at this one, Delicious Chinese Food, the domain name is pretty good, the content on the site is not bad, since this is not a themed blog, you’ll find all kinds of different posts there. One more example, get domains, this one has main theme, all posts are following the same theme, quite a few keywords rank well for this site. Its easy to show more similar sites, though I guess you get the point already. Here is one last note, some of your blogs should not be very serious ones, do some casual postings randomly, such as this blog, chinese restaurant, your blogging network looks more natural with these casual blogs.

After you successfully build a few blogs, add more blogs when you can, then use the established blogs to promote the new ones, this is the way to build your own blogging network. Of course its just the beginning, it won’t be easy to build even a tiny blogging network, do remember don’t do any black hat tricks for your sites, if you get dropped off there is no come back.
