    Fantastic post Mike! As a beginner myself, I have been struggling with the line of too much self-promotion and have stayed on the safe side for the most part so far.

    Also, it's hard to know when/if the people you are trying to support notice. Not that it really matters, but it is nice to know that they realize. On that note, thanks for all your support Mike!

    I completely agree. My blog set a one day traffic record today, because I posted a list of my favorite blogs. I did nothing but promote 50 other people. What fun.

    Next I need to see if some of these folks will consider guest blogging for me. It is all about the community. and much more interesting when you share

    Wonderful post Mike -

    There is a line between too much self promotion and enough self promotion. I run two sites, one focused on Real Estate Investing (http://www.resuccesslink.com ) and one focused on Network Marketing (http://www.networkingprosperity.com ) on both sites the days I get more traffic is when I highlight the posts from others that I have read for the week.

    Thanks again for sharing

    Great post Mike.
    Promoting others is very important and I personally try to link my blog to social networks by promoting people who have responded to my questions. They do not have to be bloggers, just people willing to participate and have something interesting to say.

    Would you have self-promotion tips for someone managing a company blog or for people who blog about their company (with consent of the firm)?

    I've been blogging for about seven weeks now and this look like great advice. I will be looking into FriendFeed and Google Reader right away!
