Advertise your website for free using posts and signature lines in email groups.

Email groups are popular and Yahoo, Google and MSN are possibly best known for them.

Email groups are a great way to meet others with a common interest. While blog sites have really taken off and may be taking away from email groups, they are still popular and should not be overlooked, as there are communities about almost anything you can think of.

If you have a specialised blog about a particular subject, you should consider joining email groups in the same niche market.

The groups are often very encouraging and you are usually asked to introduce yourself. This is your chance to mention your blog as part of describing who you are and what you do, as long as you keep it low key. You may get banned for blatant promotion.

Describe what you do and how that helps people, in particular consider the audience of the email group. Only then briefly mention you have a blog that provides more information on the subject of your niche, and give the link.

If your blog serves several niches, then find and join email groups in the various niche topics that your blog covers and introduce yourself to each group, briefly mentioning that you have a blog with articles on the subject of the email group.

When you post to the group, make sure you offer something of interest, and end with your signature including your blog URL and a single line promoting what it is about.

When people leave comments on your blog, ensure that you respond, even with a simple, thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.If your blog visitors know that you took the time to respond to their comment, they realise you are a real person who takes an interest in them and they are more likely to return at a later date.
