With all of the competitive products available for Kindle. What is the best way to get the word out there? 

Please discuss a good marketing strategy.

Thanks!

I'd also like to know the best way to do this.  So far my blogs have generated no interest whatsoever. 

I've placed the Kindle chiclet on each of my blogs, so people know they can subscribe to the feed via Amazon, but I think that most of my subscriptions (if I ever get any) will come from people doing a search on Kindle on a specific topic.

It would be nice if there were actually a specific Kindle Blog Review Report, or something, that would be emaield to Kindle owners telling them what new blogs are on offer each week, or highlighting past posts from popular blogs...

Not sure if its okay to promote one's blog  here, but I have started a blog devoted soley to reviews of blogs available on Kindle.

http://thekindlereport.blogspot.com/

Just give me the URL of your blog, and I'll review it. That will at least get its name out there and available for track backs...

(Of course, reviews may be good or bad, depending on  how good or bad your blog is!)

Hi, all

The Kindle Blog Report continues to grow. I've now added a badge (featuring a Kindle on a greyish green background, with the words Reviewed at The Kindle Blog Report, on it) which people whose blogs I've reviewed may place on their site.

This serves two purposes. It's another advertisement that the blog in question is available to be subscribed to via the Kindle, and it will bring more and more people to my Blog Report, where they will see the wide variety of blogs on offer.

Adding the badge to your blog is not mandatory, but it makes good marketing sense, I believe.

Hello Digger's Domain,

I couldn't find an email address on your site to send my URL to (and I feel weird putting it up here, but I guess the powers that be will delete it if they don't like it). I'd love for you to review my blog at http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com.

Thanks,
Margaret

Okay, so I'm three days late.  Terrible migraine this weekend!

It'll be in Tomorrow's (Tuesday's) reviews.

Thanks!
