Free blogs have a lot of power in that the search engines, especially Google, loves them. We can use sites like Blogger.com and Wordpress.com as a marketing tool to promote our affiliate offers and also our main business blog.

To get the most out of these sites, you’ll want to create unique content and post to them somewhat regularly. Within the blog posts, link back to your main blog. This will create quality backlinks to your main blog and help it rank higher in the search engines for your keyword phrases.

Online include one link to your blog in each blog post. You don’t want to overdue it as some of these sites can get picky about the kind of advertising you do as well as how much. Be sure to read each site’s Terms of Service to make sure you comply with all rules.

Other free blog sites you may want to check out include:

Blogr.com
Blogster.com
Bravenet.com
Flatpress.com
Klatcher.com
Lifetype.com
Livejournal.com
Moveabletype.com
Multiply.com
Serendipity.com
Textpattern.com
Xanga.com

After you post to these blogs, it wouldn’t hurt to social bookmark the blog home page and selective posts that you want to get exposure to. I’ll go into more detail about social bookmarking in my next post, so stay tuned.
