Over the recent months I've noticed an increase in online communities. An online community offers you the opportunity to interact with other members, visit their blogs and promote your blog(s). Basically an online community takes several components of individual online activities then combines them into one large interactive site. Each offers various activities that you can participate in and some allow you to tweet from within the community. They also offer extras like recipe of the week, video and picture uploads and other resources. Some offer more interaction than others. Some are fairly specific focusing on one niche such as food while others are a bit broader (eg. Canadian). Some offer advertising opportunities and some but not all have widgets to promote the community. Like any community, online communities should not be viewed solely for the purpose of blog promotion. Rather your blog naturally gets promoted through your participation and interaction within the community.
I belong to a few online communities: 2 food, 2 garden, 2 generic, and 1 Canadian. Each community has it's own way of working so it does take a bit of time to get to know how best to interact within the community. Now ideally I would spend time in each of my communities daily but this little thing called life keeps getting in the way so I visit as often as possible.
