Clickbank is a marketplace of digital products (software, information, etc.). What’s handy about the marketplace, in terms of generating content ideas, is that they list products according to popularity. Of course, that is not a foolproof way to see what topics are most popular (as opposed to who has better marketing/copywriting), but it can help you put together some possible ideas and observe the marketing and sales copy of those top sellers as well.

Submit your site to RSS feed engines.
There are sites out there that are dedicated to collecting blog feeds so that readers can quickly and easily find blogs they are interested in many niche topics. These readers are great because they syndicate your content by using your RSS feed, and they also give you a link back to your blog.
There are many different sites out there, but the most popular is http://Technorati.com
This is where many people go to search for blogs they might be interested in. You can also claim your blog at the site, which has its own benefits. If you update your blog you want to save each page as a favorite in Technorati. Other people can then pick up on your content, and you will get more traffic as a result.
Other options include:
? Feedage.com
? Feedagg.com
? Bloglines.com

Ping your blog.
Pinging your blog is very important because it alerts the search engines and blog search engines when you update your contact. WordPress (the most popular blogging platform) automatically pings your blog entries for you if you tell it to. Still, it doesn’t use every ping site out there by default. You’ll want to add an optimized ping list to your settings.

Optimize your content
You should definitely make sure that your blog content is optimized for search engines. That means doing your keyword research and including your keyword in the title, first paragraph, body, and last paragraph. Your content should be relevant to your niche, and you should link to internal pages in your website to give your site an extra boost.
