MyBloglog and BlogCatalog - Work the System

So today I got an email from mybloglog (MBL) and it said it had auto joined me into some communities that I often frequent. I thought sure whatever; that’s kinda cool. Then my mind started racing about the whole “automatic” principle.

Disclaimier: Before I get into what I came up with lest it be known that I have never done this nor would I be proactive enough to take the time to do this as I’m clearly much to lazy and impatient. Also I’m not suggesting you do it; but knowledge is power so let me empower you with this possibility.

If you want to work the system for maximum exposure through their widgets what I’d say you do is make a macro that in a browser with images off takes you to all your top 50 or 100 favorite HIGH TRAFFIC blogs. If you made the macro to do it automatically each day you’d always appear as one of the latest users to view the blog; get an attention grabbing image and name and hopefully it would result in some additional click through from 1 simple click of the mouse to get the macro going unless you had it setup on auto pilot at a set time each day when everyone is actively reading blogs.

Even if you don’t get that many clicks immediately it will still increase awareness of your brand if you use your company logo and it just looks as though you simply visited the blog recently. Some may also see your logo and not click it but if you run the script everyday they may eventually.

Basically it’s increasing your exposure; for free without any real labor besides setting up the macro.

That just came to me when I got an email from MBL about auto joining communities for me.

Someone being a naughty boy? :razz:

Interesting idea. Now just to think how to use this idea to monetize the crap out of MBL…
