If you’re blogging for your business (as you should be!), you’re probably always looking for more traffic and attention. This can always be difficult with business blogging, since there has to be a layer of promotion put on top of the actual blogging itself. Of course, some posts on a business blog can be well out of the box and of the beaten path, and should draw in readers as linkbait - especially if a timely discussion topic can be worked in.

Still, you have to let the world know that you exist. One site that I’ve written about before is JapanSoc, which is a Japan-centered social bookmarking site. Creator Nick Ramsay has been developing a community the old fashioned way, by offering a service that keeps people coming back.

If you’re familiar with Digg, JapanSoc should be easy to use. If you have content focused on Japan that you think people would like to read, submit a few stories and see how it goes. It’s a simple way to publicize your site a bit and a great way to find some new, interesting blogs on Japan.
