You have pretty much nailed MBL 101!

Robyn Tippins · 2 years ago

This is a very thorough review and instructional post. I'm going to go back over your suggestion (re: where your add contact request takes you) and discuss it with the team. But I just had to let you know this is great. And thanks for linking to my blog. I'm flattered :)

Joshua Dorkin · 2 years ago

Thanks guys. Shall I begin the level 2 course?

I appreciate your comments, especially yours Robyn (sorry Rex), as you work for the company. It is great that you have reached out asked for my input.

All my best to you both (and anyone else who comes by to read this!)

I have to second its a very good review :) ive seen a few mybloglog clones out there liuke bumpzee but i definately prefer mybloglog. ive found some poor blogs on it though with hundreds of members because the owner has sent messages to every blog owner he can find haha :)

Joshua Dorkin · 2 years ago

Kevin, you are right about finding poor blogs with a ton of members. I get the spam messages on MBL from users with a link to their site asking me to join . . . goes in the waste basket normally. If they want my attention, I want someone who at least put in the effort to find something out about me or my sites.

Guess there is a tradeoff. . . . I could have more members, but many would be low-quality spammer-types. Not the type of crowd I want around.

ses5909 · 2 years ago

Very nice and thorough post. I need to send this to a couple of people I have been telling to join MBL

cooper · 2 years ago

The little problem you noted is quite annoying.
The other annoying thing is the spam. It isn't as bad as it used to be, but there is still a fair amount of spam comments from the five thousand random users who start blogs daily thinking they can link to that link guy and earn millions of dollars.

I originally joined and didn't go for some time but when I did and started looking it over I was pleasantly surprised at some of the gems I found out there.

Joshua Dorkin · 2 years ago

Hey Cooper, I've been in discussions with the MyBlogLog team in an effort to help them make some changes for the better when it comes to the "annoying problem" Lets see if they actually come through (I hope so!).

Jan · 2 years ago

Hi,
can you suggest some good way to find bloggers which could be prepared to publish a post (written by me) about let's say a "webmaster forum with a contest". I mean, is it Mybloglog appropriate for this or maybe some other community site? I looked around a little and was frustrated about a large number of bad blogs/sites. Those who have good sites may be hard to convince to accept a post.

Joshua Dorkin · 2 years ago

Jan, are you asking for recommendations for sites who will accept your articels to publish on their sites? I'm sure there are plenty of people, me included, who are happy to have quality guest bloggers help out. Tell me a bite more about what you're asking here.

Jason Neuman · 2 years ago

Great ideas I actually look at mybloglog visitors websites and invite them for a link exchange and in turn some people become regular readers of my blog which increases my daily trafic.

Martin Lindsey · 2 years ago

Josh, explain #3 in more detail for claiming your blog. I've never been able to get an image of my blog to show up on my MyBlogLog profile page. I would really, really appreciate your help on this.

Benedict Herold · 2 years ago

I didn't realize that you can make good traffic out of MyBlogLog. I used to get only odd count which was not too big. Now I learned it from you :-) Thank you/

Joshua Dorkin · 2 years ago

Martin -
Once you create an account, click on the "Add Site/Blog I Author" button and follow the directions. You'll need to put a snippet of code in your blog's source files. The site should automatically generate an image file for your site.

I'd actually ask Robyn at MyBlogLog for help. She'd be better at answering your question if that doesn't do it. I hope that helps!

Benedict - MBL alone won't bring you traffic. It is certainly a great tool, though!

great article, it is posted at the carnival here- http://homebizblogger.com/2007/04/30/carnival-o...

Thanks Eve!

Colonel Cash · 2 years ago

Some reallly good stuff on you blog! Thanks for the info re: mybloglog! Great community site!

Lisa · 2 years ago

Great tutorial! I've been using MyBlogLog for the last several weeks to increase traffic and meet other bloggers. I think it's great. Thanks for the informative post.

Maria · 2 years ago

Thanks for this article. I'd signed up on MyBlogLog way back in January and had never really used it. I followed the setup instructions you provided today and, with luck, will find time to follow the remaining instructions regularly in the upcoming weeks.

It's a huge challenge to direct traffic to a blog. My hit counts and feed subscriber list has been growing steadily, but not very quickly. Perhaps this will accelerate things. Thanks for the advice!

Joshua Dorkin · 2 years ago

Hey everyone, I'm really happy that this has been helpful to you. Keep up your efforts, they do eventually pay off!

jackie · 2 years ago

very great resource. thanks so much in helping me understand mybloglog more.

Joshua Dorkin · 2 years ago

Glad I could be of help, Jackie!

Self Hypnosis · 2 years ago

Great article Joshua! I only wished I'd found it "before" I signed up for MBL a couple of weeks ago. When I first signed up, I was like....ok....what do I do now? But it didn't take long to figure things out. Your post helped me to validate that I was doing the right things to start building traffic.
Much thanks and best of luck to you!
Chris

Joshua Dorkin · 2 years ago

Chris - Thanks! I only hope others can find the article before going through the "learning curve" that you and I went through.

Joshua Dorkin · 2 years ago

Good luck using MBL, Heero!

Paul Bradish · 2 years ago

I found decent success with MyBlogLog as well. One thing that I wasn't doing that this article states is leaving comments - I will have to start doing this.

That being said, I found Josh's blog through MyBlogLog and can certainly glad that I did!

Matt · 2 years ago

I read your tips on how to build traffic and I found it very interesting. You have really nice guide which I followed. I curious to see if this really works.

hima · 2 years ago

Thanks for the nice post

emigre · 2 years ago

I joined MBL sometime ago but didn't really bother with it much. I guess it's time for a revisit! Thanks for the info.

Shams · 2 years ago

MBL is a big community, the good thing is that the members are very educated and well-mannered that makes it different from MySpace. It also brings traffic, but not really too many. People mainly visit your profile just to put a note that they were there. Only few out of them visit your website. I think its like this.

Ed · 2 years ago

That is a comprehensive post. I have been taking a slightly different route to building a community at MBL, via MyBlogLog Sunday.

I guess I am very skeptical of bloggers with thousands of "online friends and relations". I prefer to stick with the real world way of doing things (plus I am a glutton for punishment) so every week I try and contribute content and meaningful links by writing mini reviews for 10 MBL bloggers. I link to their MBL community, as well as link to a post on their site, and stumble some posts too.

I certainly dont have the biggest community, but I do have a connection with my members that goes a little bit beyond a random click and those inane "great site, check mine out" messages. (I have done it too, but it doesnt feel great!)

Your tactics are spot on for maximising MBL community size, each to their own, but really, in my opinion, accumulating numbers isn't that productive, apart from bragging rights I guess.

Law Of Attraction · 1 year ago

This is really very useful. Thanks and I never thought of using mybloglog in such a way. However, I realize there's a low response rate from the comment or message I send to the members. I don't know is it that they are more active with other social networking site such as myspace and facebook or they are simply not active in MyBlogLog.

Do you have any ideas?

kellex · 1 year ago

Very great info! I've been a fan of mybloglog for quite some time but never truly understand its importance!

Yahoo is going to rename MyBlogLog to YahooBlogLog or MyYahooLog. Maybe, this renaming will bring new functionalities..

MyBlogLog violates AdSense TOS. MBL publicly releases your AdSense Click through Rate (violation og section 7, TOS). See this article for proof.

I joined MyBlogLog thanks to this post and so far I am very impressed and can see the potential it holds.

I'm a member of MyBlogLog since last year, but I never really took advantage of the potential of the website until i read this post. I have a question though, I hope you can answer, cause I also use BlogCatalog. How do you compare both? thanks
