A few days ago on Twitter I saw a link for a new blogging network so decided to click on the link. After a few minutes of exploring I liked what I saw. The network is called BlogFrog. I really thing this new network has a bit of potential since it works a bit different than other blogging networks. You can join free or you can pay for a premium or platinum service. Premiums costs $4.95 per month and shows your ad across 20,000 blogs. I bought that one just because for the price it is a good bit of exposure for the price. There is a choice of two widgets (recently visited, visit my community) both customizable for size and colour. Now this is a bit of a different blogging network as far as I can see.
You can use either free access or pay to have your blog promoted essentially adding a blog advertisement aspect at a low cost. What paying for promoting your blog does is push your blog to the top and your blog will show as a promoted blog in widgets. So in terms of advertising it is one of the cheapest available. As far as traffic generated from using the premium service I can't say right now as I just started it. What I really like about this blog network is it takes some of my favourite features and combines them into one service into more of a social network. You can create your own community comprised of other bloggers who follow you. Then you can customize your community and add a forum so it acts as your own community communication system but it also ties into Twitter as well as building followers and friends much the same as Twitter.
I'm still trying to figure out all the benefits of this blogging network. I have my cooking blog on it right now as the test blog. The down side is if you have multiple blogs you will need multiple accounts as far as I can see. The widgets in themselves should generate some traffic just through blog hopping. I think the real benefit to this network is encouraging blogger interaction without focusing on building traffic. Any traffic you get from this network should be real because there are no credit incentives at all. From what I see so far I really do like the set-up. I think it has a lot of potential. I have not seen a dramatic increase in traffic but this is only day 3. I will report back when I know more.
