Blogged.com Offers Simple Way to Find Blogs - Submitting and Other Thoughts
(Page 4 of 4 )
That reminds me: I promised that I’d tell you how to submit a blog to Blogged.com. It’s pretty simple. Here’s a screen shot of what you get when you click on the link to submit a blog:
As you can see, you only need to supply the blog title, URL, primary and secondary categories from drop-down menus, six tags, and a blog description. You’re limited to 255 characters in the blog description space. A contact email address is optional. Incidentally, those drop-down menus are huge, so you should have no trouble finding something that fits your blog.
There’s no advertising on Blogged.com yet. I’m sure there will be, and reasonably soon; the site is attracting about 10,000 unique visitors every day. Blogged.com co-founder Gladys Kong said that her team is still looking for the right ad network with which to partner. “Our immediate goal is providing usefulness to consumers,” she noted.
Indeed, it’s very useful to have blogs rated on more than just the size of their audience. Gavin O’Malley, writing for Media Post Publications, noted that Blogged.com’s rating system could give bloggers a boost in the eyes of advertisers who look only at traffic. A little blog with quality writing just might get noticed here.
I really like Blogged.com’s simplicity. It manages to give you all the information you need without overwhelming you or feeling too crowded. I hope they can keep things simple and integrate advertising successfully without upsetting their users, something that a number of the larger social sites have found challenging. Perhaps the fact that this site is really a hybrid, with its main focus on connecting readers with bloggers, will help with that. In any case, I wish the crew at Blogged.com great success; they seem to be off to a good start.
