Why Bloggers Need to Join Blogsvine

Get voted, get traffic, and get income. Those three reasons should sum it all I guess. I found this site through Entrecard. Yes, they’re really using entrecard. Blogsvine is a new social media site which gives you free blog promotion by submitting stories which its users vote on. The voting system is very much like Digg where your news gets more exposure when you’re voted more; just like its tagline: submit your blogs and start climbing. Currently, the site is still in its beta stage so there will still be more room for changes and further improvements.

So what’s in it for you? Like in other social media sites, votes here count. From my experience in using it, the theory is very much the same with the rest of them socializin’ sites: cook up a good headline and a good post and it will definitely catch other users’ attention. A good post, I believe, always has a potential for good traffic, you just have to send it out there for others to see and that’s what Blogsvine is for. When you submit your blog post here, you’ll get free promotion plus an extra back link to your post page which can help you in your SEO. Regarding traffic, if you’re barely getting any from StumbleUpon, Digg, or Delicious, you’re definitely going to get more here everytime you post. I’m not sure why, but it seems it’s easier to get attention here since most or all of its users are bloggers.

Regarding the earning stuff, Blogsvine shares with you 65% of the earnings produced by Google Adsense Ads shown on your submitted pages. You just have to enter your Adsense publisher id in your profile page, click “save”, and that’s it. It might not be that much but it’s good to have some extra streams in your adsense coming from other sources besides your site/s.

One of its features that caught my attention is the Top Users section where you can see its most active users and the not so active ones.

What’s good about this is that you are able to sort the listed users alphabetically, the total of their submitted posts, their total votes, and comments. I just want to emphasize this one because I believe this is an important feature to get the active users rewarded.

Joining Blogsvine is free. You just have to register, provide your profile information, and get the “Blogsvine bookmarklet” to be able to submit your posts. Currently, there is an available wordpress plugin which enables one to vote externally and maybe submit their posts too. I don’t know. I’m a Blogspot user so I have no idea about this one.

Basically, the best way to get exposure here is to get a link from the front page. And there are four ways to get it:

The best way. Get your post voted.

The entrecard. Be ready to spend 256 - 512 credits here.

Get some comments in your submitted page.

Or, get your self featured.

A nicely written and interesting post always get high votes in here. I’ll get one of my fingers cut if it ain’t true. Regarding entrecard, well, prepare your credits. The more Blogsvine gets popular the more its credit cost will soar up.

Here comes the interesting part. When your submitted article receives a comment, a link to it appears here.
The link lands in your submitted page where the link to your blog lies. How do you get comment you may ask? Submit something really interesting. Or maybe, something really outrageous that it will rouse Blogsvine members to say something about it (or maybe get you out of Blogsvine for good, LOLz). Or, if you’re willing to trade your reputation for it, comment on your own submitted page (good luck to you).

Another interesting way to get great exposure from the site is to have your profile displayed on the upper banner. How? Do what I’m doing. Make a nice review of Blogsvine and if it’s good enough you’re getting your slot up there. And after publishing your post, submit it to Blogsvine immediately to get their attention which I’ll also be doing right after I finish this.

Lastly, if you truly want to benefit from Blogsvine, spread the word and get more people to join it. The more users there are, the more visitors you’ll receive from Blogsvine.
