Interacting with other bloggers is an important part of blogging. These are my favourite places to meet bloggers, and I suggest you check them all out if you have not done so already.
- Bloggeries – This is a great blog directory and forum that I spend a fair amount of time perusing. I love this forum because it is well moderated and there are lots of great and helpful bloggers here. The administrators of the forum are very involved in the forum, which really says something about this site. The blogger forum is full of information about promoting your blog, making money and other blogging tips.
- BlogCatalog – This blogger networking community is a great place to find many quality blogs, and they send quite a bit of traffic my way. I really like the widget that shows who is stopping by my blog. They have a forum as well where you can ask questions that will be answered by other bloggers. They recently changed the design of this site, and I was actually quite upset because several reviews of my blog were deleted. This is really unfortunate, but that’s life!
- MyBlogLog – Another great blogger community, much like BlogCatalog. They also refer some traffic my way, and what I especially like is that they automatically add me to blog neighborhoods if I visit the blog a few times. I don’t spend that much time here, but I still benefit from being listed here.
- Your Blog – Honestly though, the best place to meet other bloggers is on their own turf. If I like what I see and read, I will make a few comments and I know they will stop by again. Sure you can peruse BlogCatalog, but if you don’t bother to read other blogs, what is the point of even being included in this blogging community.
- My Blog – If someone stops my blog, I try to always go visit theirs (provided they belong to BlogCatalog or they leave a comment). And I always try to respond to comments made on my blog. This is likely my most favoured place to meet other bloggers because this means I am getting traffic and that people want to read what I have to say. And that is perhaps the most rewarding aspect of being a blogger!
There are countless more places that I go to meet other bloggers, but these are by far my favourite and most frequented places to interact online. I don’t really use my Facebook and I don’t have MySpace, because these are not for bloggers and I am only interested in meeting bloggers. Because if they don’t a blog, I don’t figure we will have much in common. :P
