Get More Traffic And Exposure From BlogCatalog

So many people buzz about social media, they think it is the best thing since sliced bread, and some just think it is useless. The thing is, if you are not going to use a social media site to it’s full potential, it will be useless. BlogCatalog is a very popular blog directory. But it can definitely be a lot to take in at first, I know this from experience. This simple tutorial will give you all the information you need to successfully use BlogCatalog and get exposure and traffic to your site.

FRIEND ADDING You can use BlogCatalog to your advantage…there are a huge amount of features which make it better the MyBlogLog. The first important thing you should note able BlogCatalog is the fact that you can add a lot of friends at a time (I don’t even know if there is a limit…which is great!). Many people have used the ability to add huge numbers of friends to their advantage, some people have literally thousands of friends (5000, 6000, 7000, 8000+). This is a big thing because it means that the particular person has probably attained quite a few RSS subscribers by adding that huge amount of people.

BROADCASTING Yet another fantastic feature of BlogCatalog is the ability to post a broadcast, when you do this, your logo and your headline will appear in a small box on the right hand side of your profile page under the tab “Broadcasts”. This means that when you post a broadcast, it will appear on each and every one of your friends profiles, that means it will appear on 7000 profiles if you have that many friends. The amount of traffic broadcasts can bring is quite large and it is definitely a highly useful feature of BlogCatalog.

NEIGHBOURHOOD ADDING Now, this is one of those things which has it’s benefits and it’s disadvantages. By having a lot of neighbourhoods, you are allowing other people to see 15 other links or sites which they can go to, personally I like to have only one neighbourhood and that is my own. This means that there is a greater probability of people coming to my blog from the links and the sole neighbourhood available. As you can see on the left, I have only one neighbourhood, and all the blog posts are from my neighbourhood.

CREATING GROUPS Another great feature from BlogCatalog is the ability to create groups, I recently created my own group called “Nirajperipleko”, my group talks about site monetization and the various ways in which you can successfully do it. I have called upon some followers to join the group and the response has been pretty good. You can join my Profile:

There are a couple more great features about BlogCatalog like discussions where you can ask people questions and get some feedback about your site or a product etc…Discussions are good if you are doing some research about something, whether it is good or bad etc…It can also bring some traffic if you are asking a question or offering something that everyone wants to know about. In conclusion BlogCatalog is an organized and user friendly site, it is better than MyBlogLog in several ways and continues to improve as a site and a community.
