Blogging Networks

Mar 20, 2007

Does creating a blogging network get you more (and of course, relevant) traffic? Darren at Blog Republic talks about blogging networks in a post titled Blogs As Social Networks. Whereas he mostly talks about building communities and making the blogs socially interactive, when I think of creating blogging social networks, I think more of creating “blog groups” like b5media or 9rules where blogs with similar themes come together and directly or indirectly promote each other’s blogs.

Creating blogging networks may or may not get you quality traffic — it depends on the quality of what you publish on your blog and how regularly. But in a generic sense, you can get relevant traffic because people browsing through the blog displaying your link are already interested in the specific subject. If a blog is written around a theme, there is a greater chance that readers would like to read what other linked bloggers are saying about that theme. For instance, when I’m reading a literary blog, and if that blog publishes links to other literary blogs, then I often click on those links. For that matter, if you are looking for lots of content on a specific topic, for instance, say SEO, it’s time-saving to visit blogs that belong to a group/network of SEO bloggers.
