Blog Interact - What Is It and How to Use It to Your Advantage

There's a new social networking and bookmarking site on the horizon - it's Blog Interact. Unlike other social networks, this one is specifically geared for bloggers, by bloggers.

What is it? How does it work? And how can you use it to your advantage? Read on.

==> Share Cool Stories, Find Cool Stories

The primarily goal of Blog Interact is to allow its users to share their best content and to find the best content from other people's blogs and websites.

Blog Interact is a multi-media website, meaning you can share and find blog articles, audio podcasts and videos that people have created.

==> The Overall Vibe of Blog Interact

The overall vibe at Blog Interact is the vibe of a supportive community based around sharing cool content.

Selling is generally frowned on in the community. In other words, you probably shouldn't post sales pages or squeeze pages.

On the other hand, if you put up some really original, personality-laced high quality content, you'll probably get a very enthusiastic response from the community.

==> How to Use Blog Interact to Your Advantage

Blog Interact can be an incredible way to get both backlinks and real visitors to your website.

Before you do anything, just browse Blog Interact and use the site as a visitor for a week or two.

Get to know what people like and don't like on the site. Get to know how the community tends to respond to different kinds of content. Get to know how you personally respond to various ways people share their content.

Once you have a feel of what works and what doesn't work on Blog Interact, then you're ready to start posting your own content.

The goal here is to post really cool content that either gets shared by other people's blogs, or to find other bloggers who share a similar outlook or style as you and to start building a relationship.

The secret with either method is to start by putting your best content upfront. Then interact with other bloggers about their content and they'll come to check out your content as well.

If your content is great and they feel a connection with you, they might post on their blog. Whether they do or not, feel free to send anyone who you feel a kinship with a message to start a dialogue.

Don't try to sell to anyone on a backlink or post at first; just work on building relationships. In time, as you get to know other bloggers better, promotions and backlinks to your site will come naturally.

Most bloggers know just how important connections can be for building blog traffic. Until Blog Interact, there was no easy way for bloggers to connect with one another. But now, there is.
