Last week we had a very popular guest post titled 101 Ways to Promote a New Blog. Just to give you an idea it got almost 450 retweets. I figured that promoting a new blog was an interesting topic for most of you guys, and it reminded me of a post my friend Neil Patel wrote a while ago. His post is titled Your First 30 Days of Blogging, and it features a check list with pointers and tips that you need to consider in the early days of your blog. Here is a quote:
Day 18: Leverage blogrolls
You’ll notice that a lot of bloggers have blogrolls on their blog. It’s their way of showing their readers which blogs they typically read.

The best way to get your blog added to a blogroll is send out custom emails to bloggers. Build a relationship with them and nicely ask if they wouldn’t mind adding you to their blogroll.
Most bloggers are going to say no when you email them, but like anything else, it’s a numbers game.
