Getting the Most Out of Your Blogs with MyBlogLog
Anyone that’s ever blogged as a way to promote their products or services and, hopefully, make money online knows how effective good blogs can be. However, for them to be truly effective, they need good exposure on the internet. MyBlogLog, a service of Yahoo! makes this not only possible but very easy.
MyBlogLog is a social network service used in the blogging community. A lot of its effectiveness comes from the addition of a web widget installed on the bloggers blog. MyBlogLog membership is free, which makes it even more popular for bloggers hoping to get more interested readers and exposure. When you sign up for a MyBlogLog account, you enter your blog and are starting your own blog community for your particular interest. Other readers that are interested in your blog can subscribe to your community, so they’ll always know when something new is posted. They can also share your posts with contacts in their own blogging community.
Bloggers that have installed web widgets on their site will be able to show other members of the MyBlogLog community who have recently viewed their site. The widgets also allow you to connect with other users by providing links to the other member’s pages in their community. The members that use the widgets are privy to a lot of helpful information such as how many people visited your site, who visited it, what links they may have clicked and their origin. You can also find new communities by typing what you’re looking for in a search box.
If you’re interested in finding out about any new members to MyBlogLog, a list of the new members is shown on the MyBlogLog Communities or Members page. This is a great way to find if there are any new members with similar interests as yours. By looking at what tags have been put on their profile and checking out their communities, you can find many “friends” to view your community and help with the promotion of your stories or sites.
If you already have a Yahoo! ID, you’re well on your way. Once your Yahoo! Profile is set up, add a photo and you’re ready to start blogging. Any time you go to a site that’s MyBlogLog enables, your photo will show up on a widget. All the other user has to do is click on your picture and they can see all you’ve written or posted. You can also add different communities to your blog and learn what others’ are reading and find out whose reading your stuff.

This is indeed a good way to start. If however you are serious about your blog as a vehicle to make serious money, I should imagine that your own site will be a better idea!

MBL can send good traffic too…
100s a year according to some of my log files…
Great post,..

I really think blogging sites are all the same. However, one thing that is unique with this network are the widgets that yahoo keeps on promoting even from their emails. The widgets make the blogging environment less boring. On top of that, they are great innovation to the blogging industry.
February 24th, 2009 at 3:44 am
I found little use in MBL, although I have not dedicated much time to it.
February 25th, 2009 at 10:28 am
It's strangely enough, but I get some traffic from MBL, although I did nothing to promote them there. I haven't even visit MyBlogLog site yet :)
Perhaps, I should think about promoting the blogs through it.
February 25th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
I am member of my bloglog. It can be very useful to promote one's site as you can leave your presence to a website without leaving any comments which is a way to promote one's sites. However, even if you log out of it, it will keep on leaving your footprints behind.
March 1st, 2009 at 1:29 am
This is a great way to promote your site
March 1st, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Hmmmmm .. after reading this I am not sure if MyBlogLog is a worthwhile investment in time . Building communities is good, but you'd better have a lot of interesting content to separate yourself from the herd.
March 2nd, 2009 at 3:03 am
Good for me that I already registered my blog to MyBloglog. As of this time, I do often get visitors from bloglog community site.
March 3rd, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Thanks for the article.
I don't get the concerns of the previous posters. I guess I have to try it out myself.
March 4th, 2009 at 9:40 am
I have joined MBL for some time and haven't been using it very actively but I get get some traffic from it, thanks for your encouragement I will put a little bit more effort to it and let you know if I get any success. Cheers.
March 4th, 2009 at 11:21 am
I love MyBlogLog and get tons of great stats from them. Also fun.
Awesome post. Listen up, folks…MBL is an awesome resource ! The free version is great, but the paid version is incredible.
March 5th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
I just checked it out and I think MyBlogLog may have some potential. I signed up and filled out the paperwork (relatively easy but a little confusing in places). I like the way it seems to tie in just about everything from blogs, livejournal, technorati, even netflix if you let it! I found some related blogs with similar interests and joined their MyBlogLog communities and was shocked to see that after only 15 minutes people were already joining my community!
I'll have to keep an eye on this for the next few weeks to make a more intelligent decision, but I'm already pleasantly surprised how active it is.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
Thanks for the detailed post… I didn't know it offered so much. I'll have to check it out.
March 7th, 2009 at 9:19 am
Yeah made quite a couple of new blog friends on MBL actually. Good stuff to have for all bloggers.
March 7th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Damn, I knew about this service, but I didn't know it can do so much things. Thanks for sharing man.
March 9th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
MyBlogLog brings a good deal of traffic to my blog and they have fantastic statistics tools as well.
March 11th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Mybloglog is good .I am using the free version and pretty satisfied with it
March 12th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
MyBlogLog brings a good traffic for ur site
March 15th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
Hi,
It's my first comment. Nice post. I hope use this.

March 16th, 2009 at 9:57 am
Mybloglog can help you get good traffic.
Thanks!
March 16th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
I do love MyBlogLog but I love BlogCatalog more. I find that it is much easier to use BlogCatalog although MyBlogLog has its own advantages as well.
March 17th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
Thanks for the info…first I have heard of MyBlogLog. I will check it out and see if it helps…looks like it might according to your commenters
March 18th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Hello! I am from Belarus. Therefore, I am sorry for my bad English.
I have been reading your project imbloggingthat.com via translate.google.com. Now I want to help you. … Yesterday, I learned that you have the plugin, which is a serious error. Plugin – Top Commentators Widget. Error in plugin allows any user to take a place in the list of active commentators. To do this, leave only 1 comment! To this end, the visitor must:
1. leave a comment
2. specify any name that is already in the LIST Top Commentators (eg, Daniel),
3. link to your site
Now the list of Top Commentators, under the name Daniel will be a link on someone else's site.
Detailed, I described here – http://www.vse-ok.com/2009/03/17/bag-v-plagine-to...
March 19th, 2009 at 8:45 am
Yes MyBlogLog is an exceptional piece of blogging equipment. I'm monitoring it on a few websites and I am about to increase, because of its linking power
March 20th, 2009 at 8:08 am
excellent article, thank you
March 20th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
MyBlogLog is very nice. I have been using it recently and it is great.

if you want to improve and be famous your blog,that its a graet idea to earn money also.mybloglog is a very good and nice weblog…you should try to it…..all the best…dear
March 21st, 2009 at 10:38 pm
I have to disagree with most of these comments, I am a new blogger and I like the benefits that MyBlogLog provides, as it is used I feel that it will become a more valuable tool
March 22nd, 2009 at 3:16 am
I have been a member of MyBlogLog for a while now and I really must say it's an outdated service. It doesn't really serve any purpose for me. I'll keep plugging at it, maybe I'll find a hidden gem in it.
March 22nd, 2009 at 6:40 pm
I noticed that I've gotten alot of traffic from MBL… and it sadly beats Google Connect (which looks similar) at this point. MBL is alot more user friendly!
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Hello, i dind't knew, my bloglog it's very nice, because I am a new blogger and I like MyBlogLog. It is a valuable tool to work. Thank you
March 24th, 2009 at 7:02 am
I looked into MyBlogLog again after reading this post. It has a lot more than it had before. I am glad your post forced me to revisit the subject. Thanks!
March 27th, 2009 at 6:47 am
Just added mybloglog. Thanks for the tip!
March 27th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
MBL is very nice and really powerful
March 27th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
I always use MyBlogLog to communicate wit my audience
March 28th, 2009 at 10:31 am
I have accoun in yahoo but i have no account in MyBlogLog and reading to this post i feel that i should have to create account in MyBlogLog. Thanks for the nice post!
March 28th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
MyBlogLog sounds great, im adding mine straight away!
March 31st, 2009 at 3:42 pm
wow the amount of social networking tools and media is getting out of control. Its hard to keep up!
Great post btw :)
March 31st, 2009 at 5:53 pm
I've added my blog to MyBlogLog and I seem to get quite a bit of traffic from it.
Thank you for the resource!!
April 7th, 2009 at 11:29 am
good article , thanks
April 13th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
I did sign up to MyBlogLog but I must be doing something wrong as I don't seem to be getting any visits at all.
This is all new to me! I've blogged in one form or another for over ten years, and it's only been the last 7 months that it's something I want to do for my very new business and it all seems to be so much more complicated!
April 24th, 2009 at 4:06 am
wow i have heard of this website before but never knew the success it can draw i will join it and see what their all about thanks for bringing it to my attention
April 24th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Great post! Thanks for sharing.

This article is very informative in enjoyable written style, thanks for sharing mate

Thanks for sharing! Great post
May 7th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
I like Mybloglog however there just isn't enough time in the day to keep up with all the social network platforms out there, I wish I could find the time to utilize all of them to the fullest but find it impossible.
May 11th, 2009 at 10:39 am
what links they may have clicked and their origin. You can also find new communities by typing what you’re looking for in a search box.
May 18th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
I don't get the concerns of the posters. guess I have to try it out myself.. Thanks for the article..:)
June 17th, 2009 at 11:10 am
Sound really interesting, I think I'm gonna try it…and it's free anyway, so what do I have to lose. At it's worst I may only attract a few views but if nothing else comes of the membership at least I should be able I to connect with a few people within my own niche…that's what I'm really after…8o)
July 2nd, 2009 at 12:39 pm
hi good thank you blog
July 9th, 2009 at 12:37 am
Mybloglog is really cool, especially for beginner blog owners. This could be the best route for them to get the hang of things.
Regards,
Jermaine

July 21st, 2009 at 10:19 am
I've just tried MyBlogLog and it's just superb. I think every blogger must try this as it can be the perfect tool to drive traffic and increase sales. Make your presence known on the web lads! Thanks for sharing this useful piece of information.

February 26th, 2010 at 8:52 am
MyBlogLog is a great service, for sure! I have an account there and I'm very satisfied, because I get some visitors to my blog.
Do you know other really important social media websites?
March 8th, 2010 at 7:52 am
It can be very useful to promote one's site as you can leave your presence to a website without leaving any comments which is a way to promote one's sites.
March 11th, 2010 at 7:21 am
MyBlogLog is a very nice blogging site . i go through it .it gives a lot of information to the visitor about the product .it is great to be a part of it. Firewood Dealer

April 18th, 2010 at 4:32 am
Is it the same with blogcatalog?
April 21st, 2010 at 5:37 am
I'm so glad I found your article on MBL. I signed up several years ago and then totally forgot about them and couldn't find them when i did a search. You think there would be a lot more places for blogger to gether by now.
April 24th, 2010 at 10:30 am
Good for me that I already registered my blog to MyBloglog. As of this time, I do often get visitors from bloglog community site.
May 9th, 2010 at 12:55 am
I've tried them both and can say from experience that MBL seems to generate more traffic.
May 10th, 2010 at 5:55 am
WIll check this out also, does this have instant traffic already?
May 10th, 2010 at 12:38 pm
MyBlogLog can help up a little bit with one way link
it is another choice out of all others blogthing …
worth time to give a try on it
May 10th, 2010 at 12:40 pm
i hope soon we no more need to do anything similar in order to build link
somehow i find it really boring and always looking at the monitor and doing the same thing every single day
May 12th, 2010 at 7:35 am
Yes MyBlogLog is an exceptional piece of blogging equipment. I'm monitoring it on a few websites and I am about to increase, because of its linking power
May 13th, 2010 at 10:39 pm
I have not used MyBlogLog before. How many widgets can we have before a blog site starts to look tacky. It is getting insane. I will check this out though as it might be better than some of the other tools I use. Thanks.
May 15th, 2010 at 10:54 am
Mybloglog is really great. Yes HOnestly…. I;ve been using that for a couple of years now and i got traffic from that site.
June 11th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
i did all of this but I have no idea how to add the widget to my WordPress o_0
June 22nd, 2010 at 9:01 pm
Yes, some people do blogging just for hobby, some for money.
I do it for both.
It's fun.
I use blogger for fun and use my own domain too
June 29th, 2010 at 4:32 pm
Is MyBlogLog a new one ?
July 12th, 2010 at 9:54 pm
MBL is certainly a nice starting point for many bloggers and quick to setup – I already had a Yahoo account so it only took a few minutes. However, over time I've dropped it because it's starting to become overwhelming with so many social profiles to keep up with.
July 14th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
I have used a couple of these sites before and i have found better ways to do it. I was lucky enough to get a friend of mine to build a blog management system. we are still working out the kinks but hopefully it will be up soon.
July 20th, 2010 at 3:03 am
I am in for this tool, I have a blog which I need to speed up and maybe this widget will do the job
July 27th, 2010 at 6:17 am
I want to share my experience with mybloglog, really it provides best social network service , mainly you start seo your new website then you can get good traffic through the mybloglog.
July 31st, 2010 at 5:18 pm
You know, i had a MBL and it got almost no traffic, it was loaded with spammers. I guess though that with the content I write about, I may be alone in not being spam. haha
