I’m not sure if you have seen our Blog Forum yet but it has potential to be a really great environment for blog traffic.
We have created a nice and easy to use blog forum for all our members to join.
For the record I am considering moving the forum off site and purchasing it’s own domain name but for now it’s still in a sub folder here at blog engage.
I think the best way to get you interested would be to walk you through the benefits of joining our forums community.
I’m going to discuss all the forum with you and hopefully by the end of the article you would have already signed up.

I wanted to do a video allowing me to show all our members how I developed the majority of blogengage’s traffic. I’m a big fan of webmaster forums here’s the original article,
Believe it or not I actually used webmaster forums and took advantage of all sub forums that would allow me to leave a website url because it was relevant to.
Remember there is a way to do this while remaining ethical. Enjoy my tips as they are what got me to where I am today.
You will also see as your traffic increases over the next few weeks. Be sure to let me know how it works out by commenting below.

Alright sit down, grab a coffee because this is going to be a filled and entertaining article on how to use our social community to build your personal network and meet new friends. Blog Engage offers many unique ways in order to market and promote your blog.
The first thing I would like to discuss is adding friends to your profile and becoming an active community member. Blog Engage allows all members to have a personalized profile section. This allows you to add a link to your blog and personal information about yourself
Within your profile page you will have the ability to see all the friends in which you added and all your friends status updates. Please remember if you don’t add the members as a friend they will not see your status updates.
After you start adding friends and being active within the community you will see status updates start appearing on your profile page. Again in order to see status updates you have to add members to your friends list. You can add a friend my visiting their profile and selecting the “add to friends list” button.
Why is adding friends so important?
if you’re asking this question right now then perhaps you need to read some articles on the importance of social media networking and marketing. Adding friends to your blog engage profile allows you to do the following,
- Easily track friends activity
- Keep up to date on the latest submissions
- Send personal messages to like minded bloggers
- See who’s commenting on blog articles
Submitting articles helps too
Many members miss out on this amazing opportunity to market their blog. When you submit your articles take a look at who’s voting for you. Don’t be a fool go and thank them for the vote! Visit their blog and heck leave a comment. Trust me lazy bloggers don’t do well at blogengage. You get out from the community based on what you put into the community. I’ve always said this from day one, you don’t get something for nothing.

I logged on to blogengage today to see something that is very rare to me. Articles on the main site that had been published without my votes. This is big news people!
This means blogengage to a certain point could possible be self sufficient. I was so surprised to see my hard marketing work pay off. I swear there’s been nights I sat in front of my pc and blogengage wondering how I can take our community to the next level. Marketing in webmaster forums, blog commenting and leaning has brought me to the stage we are at today.
I stand here again wondering how I can take our community to the next level. Do I have the right resources? Will the community be able to continue growing and will there be a day when we reach our maximum growth. To answer my own question I would have to say no. We will not stop growing and no we will not reach a max growth potential.
As our community grows so does the general knowledge base about blogging. New bloggers from all over the world are joining our community. Currently our biggest traffic sources are USA, Canada and India
I really think the members here within the community that have been blogging about deserve some recognition. I’m safely assuming much of our new traffic and visitors are other bloggers within their community. I send a big thanks out to you all that started blogging about us. If anyone else can spare an article about blogengage please let it go and write it up. On our FAQ page we have videos you can add and much information to help you put together an article.
