Using MyBlogLog To Expand Your Community

January 21st, 2008

Written by Mr Javo

Probably you’ve heard about MyBlogLog, a social media network part of the Yahoo Services, allowing you to meet other bloggers and their communities.

 

Why do you need MyBlogLog?

 

May be you are bored to join on every social media network over the web, but you don’t have choice, you may to join on every network you find out there :smile: . MyBlogLog is one of biggest communities on internet enable you to track that last little bit of information about your website. You probably already know where your users are coming from and you probably already know what pages they’re looking at while they’re there. However, if you have a blog or any other site where you frequently post new content on the main page, you don’t have a good way of tracking what people find interesting. One way is to track when people click on the links you provide. Up until now, outbound link tracking has been a pain in the butt, requiring CGIs and managed links. MyBlogLog makes this process easy. But why do you need to know what people find interesting on your site? You can use it to tune your content to be even more compelling for your readers and to determine which stories you should follow up on.

 

Using MyBlogLog Effectively

 

Although MyBlogLog is not designed to build traffic to your site or to give you a community automatically, the most people with large communities have them either because their blog is popular and they advertise the community on their blog or because they message and talk with other MyBlogLog members and they join communities that are interesting to them and other members join their community as a result.

 

If your site is of interest to people, in the coming days you will see a number of people checking out your community, much like how people stumbled upon your blog in the early days. An effective way to attract some people to your community is adding them as friend when they visit your site and leaving a message in their profile just saying “thank you for….” that is very appreciated. You can do this looking the MyBlogLog gadget in your blog to see the latest MyBlogLog member visitors.

 

What’s The Benefit of Pro Stats?

 

MyBlogLog Pro gives you real-time stats and this is helpful to get real-time feedback on your links if you are a compulsive blogger :mrgreen: . If you don’t have a lot of traffic or simply you are not a compulsive blogger, the free version may be sufficient.

 

Additionally, MyBlogLog Pro gives you a longer list of “top links,” listing all of the links clicked on your site each day, which is useful if you have dozens of links. If you don’t have a lot of links the free version’s daily Top 10 links is probably fine for you.

 

You can purchase MyBlogLog Pro by a monthly subscription fee ($3/month) through PayPal and an annual fee ($25/year) by PayPal or Credit Card. The monthly fee will continue until you cancel the service. The annual fee must be renewed by you each year. You can upgrade your account to MyBlogLog Pro via the Edit Settings area of any of your blogs.

I actually want to take mybloglog on as my next community building project. Can you share some of your success and failures on this with me?

Another advantage is that MyBlogLog does not use nofollow. Once I realized that, I paid for pro-stats. It’s five spiderable links back to your blog that updates whenever you do. The free version stops updating your feed after a while. I linked to a post where I wrote about it more.

Mybloglog is a really good resource to connect with other bloggers and has given me an incite into some blogs I should and do now read. I track daily hits with the pro features for my main blog only as I don’t think it is worth it for the others.

I also think Blogcatalog is a good resource to use and is similar to mybloglog – a lot of people use it and I’ve connected with a lot of other bloggers by using this too.
