I think the 8th tip is misleading for newbies. They worry about hosting and things traffic is gonna boom in from the first day. Truth is, any good shared hosting will be more than enough for the first few months.

Great tips :)

I wish I’d seen this article before starting my sites. Would’ve helped big time. Oh well, I took the long road and learned everything the hard way.

Great article, I’ll pass it along :)

Perfect post for people starting up a blog / portfolio site / web program. I myself am in the process of launching a blog and will take these steps to heart. It’s great to see it all listed in a nice format and the idea of a contest for the launch is something that I hadn’t thought about before. A+ post.

Some good tips. have read before that it’s worth having at least 8 articles queued for publishing so you can keep your visitors interest.

Were launching a brand new web hosting site In 2010 and been looking for cost effective marketing tips so your article was just the ticket. I guess the advice to “go big” on the free giveaways is the key.

@Ben, since no one has answered your question. There are several benefits. The exposure is one. I get random visitors from blogs that I forgot that I left comments on and this is a great feeling to know that people are coming from sites other than search engines, based upon my comments.
The next most powerful is the link. A “do follow” link from an established site is like gold. It help in your sites credibility and in the sites overall ranking.
Even a “do not follow” link carries some juice with it.
If the blog that you comment on is related to your own niche or topic it is even more powerful, and authority status to your site.
The older your comments have ranking weight too. As long as the blog remains active your comment and link will be alive on the Internet.
These are just a few of the advantages of leaving comments.

Taking note of your tip #10 and letting you know how great this list is! I am curious to know what recommendations are available for the busy entrepreneur who understand the importance of populating the blog with viable and useful content, but does not have alot of time to do so!? Thanks !

maybe I am a newbie or something, but what are the benefits of commenting on over 100 different blogs. What does that do?
