Getting organized and cross promoting sites

I’m not being very wise lately.

I made a post on The Web Files early this morning about how I’ve been having trouble keeping up with all my blogs lately – partly because I have so many, and partly because I have so much work that I can do the prep work (writing draft articles for each site) that I used to do in the past.

One of the dumb things I’ve been doing is not always writing about tech stuff on my two tech related blogs. Duh.

I just wrote an article on my most general blog about using business cards to promote your website and or blog in social situations. Naturally that article would have been perfect for this site or the Web Files. Right?

If you’ve ever thought of making up business cards that have your website address on them go and read what I just posted on My World. You might get some ideas as to how to use the cards effectively.

At the very least, by writing an article on another site and telling you about it here I’ve just practiced another technique that anyone who has multiple websites should try.

I wouldn’t do this all the time, but if you’ve written an article on another one of your sites that readers from another site might want to read, by all means post about it. You’ll be linking to one of your articles and giving the originating site another link and with any luck you’ll send new visitors to the originating site as well.

This is a fairly basic cross promotion technique, but I don’t see it used all that often on many of the sites I visit regularly. Give it a try.
