This platform has done so much for me since Justin from Dragonblogger kindly sent me an invite and I started using the full potential of this platform. Brian has also been a great help in personal and blog promotion, but also in support of my endeavors. So, with this post, I’d like to share with you some things that becoming part of this platform did for my blog and online business:

Automated a large part of my business.

I used to wander around aimlessly on other social blogging and bookmarking sites, but as you may know, it takes a heck of a lot of time to submit your posts, let alone engage on all of them. With RSS aggregation here at BE all of that is done on your behalf  and you can focus on engaging.

655 high quality, high PR & dofollow backlinks built to my blog.

Yes, you can get a 1000 links for 49 dollars, but what are the quality of those links? Won’t you get penalized for them? And are they dofollow? I hope you know that one dofollow link is 10 times more valuable than 5 nofollow ones. Well, in the two or so months of engaging on BE have resulted in my blog going from PR0 to PR4.

Became # 7 traffic referrer to my blog (according to GA) of all time existing.

In the year my blog has existed, Blogengage has sent traffic to my blog making it the #7 referrer of all time after Twitter, Google and other high profile traffic sources.

Has a great variety of pricing options for different needs.

Blogengage caters for lots of different pricing structures and business solutions for your online business. I started with a moderate account after my invite and have now upgraded to the biggest option there is. Why, because it’s worth every cent – and think about it:  It doesn’t cost that much does it?

The more you engage, the more exposure you get.

Not only do Blogengage work on a sort of rewards system (called karma points) which gives you exposure in a ‘leader board’, but if you wanted to know which people are worth it to invest time in getting to know, build relationships with and guage them for future business partnerships – these are the people to watch out for. They are people that engage and sow valuable time into their community. It means they care.

You get a little closer to bloggers you would otherwise not have contact with.

Just like going to some kind of social event or hanging out at a pub, this platform allows you to interact, watch the progress of and make connections with high risers you would normally not be able to interact with on this levels. The chat function here is paramount for quick contact and live interaction.

Present a TON of business opportunities.

Hooking up to the previous point, Blogengage presents the user with a ton of business opportunities (and solutions to services and suppliers) – but only if you play the game and use the system. It’s designed for you to benefit from. My personal opinion is that the user gets a lot more value than what Brian or any of the staff gets from running BE.

As you can see from all the points mentioned above, from a business point of view – At Blogengage, the user is the winner.

Your Turn.
