Over the last couple weeks, I've been doing recap posts from my time spent at BlogWorld. In those posts, where I talk about sessions I went to and people I met, I link to the person's blog or website. Pretty standard thing to do.
Fast forward to a couple days ago. I was sitting there thinking about the fact that I suddenly had "big name" people leaving comments on my blog, and tweeting me on Twitter.
"How did all of these people suddenly find my blog and my Twitter username and learn about me?" I couldn't figure out where these people might have seen me.
Then I realized that it was just because I had included a link to their blog in one of my posts. They saw a pingback saying that I had linked to them.
Duh.
Did you know that something you probably do regularly can get you on the radar of those in your industry? I bet you do, but maybe you've forgotten.
Take some time over the next week to reach out and give a shoutout to other bloggers in your market. Who knows. They may give a shoutout back to you, and you'll see a big traffic increase.
