Promote a Blog

Why re-invent the wheel?

If a blog entry has all already been written why go out there and re-write the same information but in your own words?

Surely linking to the blog that's already been written would be a lot quicker and a lot less hassle.

Plus linking to someone else's blog entry will show blog readers that you do take the time to go out there and read other people's blog entries, rather than just concerntrating on your own.

Linking to someone else's blog gives you credibility for linking to a good source. This doesn't mean that you never need to write another blog entry again, but if the hard work has already been done surely you can just write a few lines summarising the blog and then link to the actual article?

When adding an article to other article submission websites you should also link back to the originating source, which is what I'm now going to do (seeing as that's what I've been urging everyone to do throughout this whole article)!

I wouldn't usually quote/copy as much as 100 words from an article as this is still quite a lot, and it depends how long the original article is itself.

You need to give the reader enough to know about the subject, but at the same time not enough so that they want to click through and read the rest of the article.
