BlogEngage Social Network: Bloggers Should Be Using This

20 September, 2009 - 07:00 AM - 19 Comments

I have only been on the BlogEngage Social Network since September 14th and I am already seeing many benefits to this engine, it has the same type of social network as digg, stumbleupon, reddit or many others, but the unique feel of the network and the fact that you are only published after your article or submission receives 5 votes first means that there is less article spamming going on.

One other huge benefit to the network is that all of the links from BlogEngage are dofollow, and each article you submit will result in a pingback on your blog. This is great for getting your blog posts backlinks and you won’t get a backlink from most other social submit sites. The BlogEngage platform allows you to find and add other bloggers very quickly, and it is so much faster and easier to submit articles and vote on other articles than trying to submit to Digg or StumbleUpon for the first time.

I have added a BlogEngage button to all of my posts, as it has already brought in some traffic and comments. I discovered BlogEngage from @Rembeatz over at Blazing Minds who uses it on her blog.

Blogger Den

I've created a similar site to Blog Engage Blogger Den. It's more targeted towards blogging and making money online instead of just regular blog posts, but it's a great community with a very large readership growing everyday.

Blogengage is another great social networking site, I've been submitting few of my posts to Blogengage before too. It's good to submit your post over there because Blogengage is a dofollow site, so you may get some link juices to your blog there. :)

Regards,
Lee

Thanks for sharing your view on BlogEngage, what other blog networks do you like and submit your site too?

This is indeed a great way to remove spam on social networking sites (which ads up to the competition by the way). This site will also test your ability to write good content to please voters.

I agree, hoping to have more votes on some of my articles now though :)

Love Blogengage : )

Btw, How are your adsense earnings on this site? I've used the prosense theme with some decent success.

I average between $20 and $25 per month AdSense the last few months, increased since I changed to 250x300 ad sizes in posts, was between $10 and $15 dollars when I was using just header banners. How about you?

Blogengage is a great site, it has a great feeling and great community of bloggers there.
Im new there myself and I also see a lot of benefits from it.

Again it's a great site and I'll be there for a long time to come.

Hey dragonblogger,

Thanks for the kind words. Our community is a little small right now but many people have still found success using the site. It would be nice to see more active voters but I guess that comes in time.

Thanks for posting about us and letting your readers know.

As more bloggers promote and use the service, more voters will appear. Your site is against heavy competition with hundreds of article submission sites, so it takes time.

Thanks for the mention, I've been using BlogEngage for quite a while it does have an impact on not only blog traffic but the commenting side of things as well, I've seen a vast increase in comments and interaction since been a member, I would also recommend the widget for wordpress, it seems to increase the use of BlogEngage even further..

What I like about blog engage is that 5 people have to vote in order for your post to be considered submitted, this reduces the submit once bots from clogging the pages. It needs to grow though, there still isn't that much traffic or a high user base on Blog Engage and it will grow as more people use it.

I have been a part of Blog Engage for several months now and you are right, there is a positive impact for your blog traffic, as well as branding. I have not installed the button yet, but I probably should to get the maximum benefit.

Hey there J,

Hmmm. It's raised my interest and I'll be checking this out shortly. I'd do it now, but the football game is about to start. =o) I'll check it out in a bit. Later.
