Is Submitting Your Articles to Bloggingzoom a Good Idea?

By Desty 407 days ago from http://www.destyonline.com

The new social networking media site dedicated to bloggers, Bloggingzoom, was created to help blogs expose their articles to a wider audience and rank better with search engines. What happens when Bloggingzoom ranks better for the article and it's keywords than the original article does?

This isn't an article to bash Bloggingzoom by any means, just an out-loud thought about how Bloggingzoom works and helps blogs.

"What happens when Bloggingzoom ranks better for the article and it's keywords than the original article does?"

This is the whole idea of BZ. If you already rank well on a keyword than do not submit your article you would be shooting yourself in the foot. Only submit articles you do not rank well.

I would like to point out though that if you look at MyBlogLog recent reader widget all have come from Blogging Zoom I looked at the stats to make sure.

I also compared past stats on your submissions compared to others that showed on the sidebar. Your submissions because are not keyword focus have had less organic traffic then others on the sidebar the same day so in reality you have benefited more from reader spillage than others have from you.

According to your archives your first post was May 30, 2007 Bloging Zoom started on November 1st but yet we are already outranking you on your own keywords. Think about that in 27 days we already have more authority then your site. This proves that what we originally envisioned is correct that we could provide an opportunity for people who would never have a chance to compete in a specific keyword to not only compete but even beat the big guys.

I would like to again be clear that Blogging Zoom is not for the large site with the authority, Blogging Zoom is for the small guy who wants to have a chance to get some readers from that big guy.

I never meant for the article itself to be a bash or an attack on Bloggingzoom, more of an questioning of how it works and how it can work for me. I'm sorry if it has been taken as such.

I've never been, or atleast never considered myself, to have any "authority" beyond what my actual articles say. Desty Online is my 1st attempt at an online presence, so my knowledge and experience of online activities has been entirely learned hands-on. As I learn something, I write about it; if I don't understand something, I write about it.

Desty lol you took my comment wrong I am not bashing you or mad or anything like that. And I am referring to search engine authority. Part of Googles algorithm is to set an authority for each keyword to a site so for example lets say you may be a PR9 site but have no authority on a search on ants because there are not many keywords on the PR9 site. The reason I referred to the authority on the keyword is that is just insane that in 27 days we have gained so much authority on some keywords and in such a small amount of time and not even talking about the fact that since BZ is a new domain we where placed in sandbox.

I was going to zoom, because I thought the article was interesting and well thought out, but then I saw that you hide an already subscribe to comments button. You should really get rid of that.

I know I don't understand how all of the algorithms work and all, but Blogging Zoom has helped up my readership by 20 subscriptions in the last week, my pageviews to double and like 8 new links back to my blog.

I don't see how that has a downside...but I don't totally see the big picture and how everything fits together. Especially when you guys talk about an authority on keywords.

I'm with you. From what I've learned over the past month or so, you need to really think about what keywords you want to focus on for your article. Don't spam them, but do mention them throughout your article. Try to fit them into your page title.

I try to learn alittle bit more every week or so in order to make a better site. :)
