Widgetbox - Toys for Bloggers

Home Business Today points us to Widgetbox:

If you're like most bloggers, you're constantly on the lookout for things that can enhance and improve your blog in one way or another. Some deal with the visual and aesthetic

And this is where widgets come in. A widget is basically a mini-application you can put in your blog that can quickly and easily provide your readers with your page information, extra functionality and even a bit of fun and games.

Enter, Widgetbox...

aspects of your blog, some are entertainment-based, and some are purely functional. Either way, they're all enhancements.

Spring Archive Cleaning

I cleaned up a bit of a mess in the MLM Blog archives today. The archives by date and category should now be a lot easier to navigate.

There are over 1,000 posts in the archives and a couple of them are actually pretty good, you should check them out at the MLM Blog Archive Page.

Free Blogs For Network Marketers

I have been offering free blogs to Network Marketers at the MLM Blog Network for over a year now and many people have seen great results from consistant blogging about their Network Marketing company.

However, one of the biggest bottlenecks with the network was my ability to set up requested blogs in a timely manner (if at all in some cases).

That said, I am pleased to announce the launch of MLMVox Beta. MLMVox is really the MLM Blog Network 2.0 with a snazzy new name and location.

Here is what's cool about the free blogs at MLMVox:

• Automated Sign Up - you no longer have to wait for me to set up your account
• Short URL (yoursite.mlmvox.com)
• Fresh new web 2.0 look
• Wordpress format

We are working on some other great stuff that will help drive lots of traffic to your MLMVox blogs like an RSS feed of Network Marketing company news and a special page that shows the most recently updated blogs, most active blogs (comments and posts) and lots more.

The most active blogs at MLMVox will also get free press at the most read Network Marketing blogs on the net, including here at the MLM Blog, MultiLeveler and the MLM Business Opportunities Weblog.

Let me know what you think, but please be nice, we are still in Beta.

Another Record Month At MLM Blog

February was another record month for traffic at the MLM Blog, our unique visits were up by roughly 10,000 to 60,000 + and our page views were well over 100,000. All that with 3 less days in the month when comapred with January.

Our Alexa traffic ranking dipped under 100,000 for the first time, rare ground for a niche blog. It's back over 100,000, but not by much.

I found the MLM Blog Alexa ranking by country to be interesting. It looks like those Swedes be luvvin' the MLM Blog (I'm tight with the Swedish Chef Muppet):

Panama 9,069

Sweden 10,511

Canada 25,666

United States 34,825

Cyprus 37,369

South Africa 38,207

Ecuador 46,784

Australia 55,381

Dominican Republic 57,717

Costa Rica 67,541

Argentina 92,359

Poland 99,098

Netherlands 103,247

Chile 129,794

Portugal 130,219

Malaysia 151,082

Singapore 154,760

United Kingdom 206,605

Israel 209,475

India 224,195

Germany 246,653

Japan 429,124

MLM Blog Traffic

Thank you readers.

January was a monster month in terms of traffic here at the MLM Blog, no doubt our best month ever. I haven't compliled all of the numbers yet, (I don't have the same counter system on all pages), but it looks like we had 40,000 to 50,000 unique visitors and double that number in page loads/impressions.

The Alexa traffic ranking for MLM Blog is about to crack 100,000 and currently sits at 100,221. Alexa is said to be inaccurate for sites with a ranking greater than 100,000 so this is a milestone for the site.  I should point out that I do not use the Alexa tool bar. I suspect that when a blog author uses the Alexa tool bar while working on their own blog, the Alexa numbers can be skewed.

This site has grown way past my expectations, but if I could do one thing differently, I would have hosted the site on my own domain.

MyBlogLog

MyBlogLog, a social networking site seems to be catching on with the blogging community.

The site is very easy to navigate especially when compared with MySpace. I haven't spent very much time on MyBlogLog, but I already have several contacts.

I'm not sure how long MyBlogLog has been in business, but I do know that they were recently aquired by Yahoo.

Social networking for bloggers...why didn't I think of that?

Update: I should also mention that the neat little widget in the far right sidebar (the one with the faces) is from MyBlogLog.

Check out the new Hype Free Organge Ads

I am testing some new Hype Free ads in the side panel. Let me know if you like them.

Update: I added the No Promises, No Problems ads at the top of the MLM Blog main page as well....enjoy!

Home Business Today: Enhancing Your Blog

Blogs are a great, easy way to publish information in a timely manner. As a result, their popularity has skyrocketed.

However, to make blogs a really useful tool, you have to get people to come back and read regularly.

It’s just as true for your blog as it is your website that someone may take a look at what you’ve published and say to themselves, “This is interesting,” only to disappear, never to visit again.

Prevent this from happening to your blog by letting people know when you’ve published something new.

The MLM Blog Network Branches Off

The MLM Blog Network has two new sister blogs unrelated to MLM.

BizzGadget and CelebritySmoosh are part of the newly formed network.

If you like to watch the train wreck that is Celebrity and Pop Culture, you should check out the writing of L.B. Bryant at CelebritySmoosh. L.B. mixes some geek/tech stuff in with celebrity gossip to make for interesting reading.

I am currently (temporarily) editing BizzGadget which is about business tools and gadgets.

I have a couple of leads on authors for a blog about Natural and Organic products, so that may be blog number 3.

If you are interested in writing for the new network, send me an email at ty (at) tribble.org.

BizzGadget needs another author and I would like to add 3-4 new blogs a month to the network.

Subjects include:

Aging and Beauty
Video Games
Diet and Healthy Cooking
Scrap-booking
TV
Movies

and whatever you may be passionate about.

The blogging positions are paid.
