Hi Christina, I like BlogCatalog too. I have Facebook and MySpace accounts but don’t do much with them.

I prefer BlogCatalog as well for the same reasons as above. I like that you can have discussions and whatnot. I also found out quickly after wasting several months that Facebook is a much better way to promote opposed to Myspace. Christina Bledsoes last blog post..Departures Movie Trailer

This post explains very clearly why there is no such thing as a perpetual money-making scheme that will work without at least an intermittent investment of additional time. InternetStrategists last blog post..Blog Traffic Up 54.87% in the Last 30 Days: Our Proven Traffic Improvement Strategy

That's a good point Brad. I've suspected that for a while as far as active blogs and forums. Blogs with more comments and forums with multiple post threads seem to be better off in every way including Google. I have never gone back to bump a forum post back up but I understand what you are saying. I feel it's much better for other members to fill that roll if they find it interesting. I need to get back into visiting forums. I've all but stopped since I've become involved with blogging. Except for The Internet Marketers Guild of course.

Hi Brian,

Great topic, I have been here a few times and refrained from comment because I am a little overwhelmed in my promotion being in the same boat, I do realize the obvious, but have no magic wand to wave at the moment.

Commenting on blogs with good solid comments seems to draw some traffic, but very time consuming. Forums to some extent seem to be coming back to life a bit as people are realizing that the power behind them is fantastic. Mixing blogs and forums seem to be working very well. The combination of using the two defiantly complement each other. A new little twist I read about some time back was to blog on a forum.

I have a post about this on our board but will give a little review. Yes you should be taking full advantage of this as a member.

As you know we have an advertising section on the bottom of our board for members only, I will use you business as an example. Take your ad tracking and short url site to the advertising section and make a post. Come back in 3 days and add another post as a reply to your first post, and so on. The reason I say 3 days is I have set the post bump to 3 days so if you reply to your own post to bump it before 3 days your reply is just added to your last post unless you are replying to someone.

But you get the idea, use a forum thread to blog on. Keep adding relevant content to your thread. Now you are creating your forum thread blog. So now the spiders can pick up all your information and keywords in one place and index them.

From what I have been reading this is working great getting indexed. I have been neglectful doing this because well, I have no excuse.

Not exactly sure why, but I am thinking that Google took some of the punch out of single forum posts and pays more attention to multiple post threads. I believe this happened when the big spamming wave came through a couple years back, allot of spam bots were getting through registration and posting single posts in a section with a common word like Lounge or intros.

I wish I had more to offer right now, but Sheryl won’t let me. LOL!
All I know is content rules!!

Always the best for everyone.
