By that I mean when it comes to the promotion and marketing of your blog, you have to keep up with your fellow bloggers. If you ease up, take your foot off the gas and let things slip even a little bit, you’ll do more harm than good to your blog’s chances to make money for you.

One of the best way of keeping up the momentum and to enjoy yourself in the process is to go and visit some other blogs in your niche. That way you get to see what other bloggers are doing to make money and to see what they’re blogging about. If some of them have posted something you know a bit about, then you can leave them a comment.

That has a three-fold benefit for your blog.

1. If they have a “do-follow” policy then you gain a valuable one-way inbound link to your own blog
2. Other readers of those comments will see yours and if it interests them, they’ll click you link to see what you are writing about on your blog
3. The owner of the blog will also see your comment and may also visit your blog out of curiosity and may even leave a comment for you

That all increases traffic flow to your blog. It also makes you some friends of other bloggers who are happy to have you visit their blog for the same reasons you’re happy for them to visit yours. In fact, reciprocal blog visiting is a great way for lots of bloggers to boost their traffic stats. That’s why so many of them belong to some of the blogging social networking sites, like MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog.

So not only are you keeping up with the Joneses and all the other bloggers in your community, but you’re all helping each other to make money and to prosper in the promotion game too!
