Once confirmed, you could simply add your sitemap to all Webmaster Tools.

#. Comment Sections

Comment on blogs relevant or blog from same niche will be helpful and it will help build your basic backlink.

There are topics that inspire readers to take action. “Blog commenting” is one of them. But, it’s easy to make mistakes, if you’re not careful.

First, if you’re not leveraging section an active comments to grow your blog, then you’re doing a huge mistake. Leaving a comment on blog posts that seem relevant isn’t an option, but a necessity. But don’t leave comment spam and expect to get great results.

  

One thing to make sure – commenting on spammy website wont help you and may result in Google penalty. Idea for commenting is to provide your genuine feedback.

By commenting, you are spreading word about your site to the relevant readers. In exchange other blog owner might add a link to your site back, that’s called as link exchanging. Make sure you use this commenting technique wisely.

3. Create and Submit Sitemap

Submitting Sitemaps help search engines bots to discover all the content on your site. It’s required for new and old both websites.

You should generate your sitemap and ensure that it conforms to the sitemap protocols and rules. there are many free and paid for website that can automatically create a Sitemap for your website. If you are using WordPress, you could use Google XML sitemap or Yoast SEO plugin to create sitemap for you new WordPress site.

#. Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is a way for people to store, organize, search, and manage “bookmarks” of web pages. Users save links to web pages that they like or want to share, using a social bookmarking site to store these links. These bookmarks are usually public, and can be viewed by other members of the site where they are stored.

 Social bookmarking is very useful way to tell word about your site and gain valuable links back is to increase social signals. Add pages, blog posts from your site to some of very famous bookmarking sites such as; Delicious, foursquare, Digg and StumbleUpon, etc.

Make practice of adding share buttons or a toolbar or widgets like addthis.com to your pages.

#. Facebook & Twitter

Facebook and Twitter are the most famous social media among the world. As twitter is having more than  331 millions of monthly members, so creating a functional  accounts will be more beneficial for your website to reach new people.

Add social media like, share buttons to your website sidebar, footer, end of the article so that users can share your article with their friends.

Even though we don’t have Facebook like box widget on Crunchify, for new bloggers it make sense to add widget section in sidebar to get more reach.
