Just like this post itself, if you are a blogger what you do after posting an article in your blog? Here is a list of things which I do (and will be doing after posting this one) if you also do many be prove very useful for your blog.

ping service

1. Ping
Pinging a blog link and its feed URL makes your newer post appear in many other blogs and sites which can give you some good blog visitors. I use Pingoat for this purpose. All you have to do is enter your website and feeds (optional) URL and push a button to ping to various other services.

Social bookmarkings

2. Socialise
Digg it, Slashdot it, make it delicious and do as much social bookmarking as possible. It’s surely providing a good traffic, after all what’s the use of posting when no one reads it?

search other blogs

3. Search other blogs
Do a google search to find blogs (which allow comment) for similar article that you have just posted. Comment on other blogs and post the link to your new article (only if it’s relevant, otherwise it will look like spam). This will again give you some visitors and if not a good blog reader, you should definitely get some hits at least.

statcounter

4. Look for stats (Optional)
I can sometime become excited and what to see the result of how’s my article doing right after publishing it. Look at your blog stats by using a service like Statcounter which provides instant website traffic data. You can spend hours playing with this site and cheer at your blog progress.
