Since Alexander Alaric has been sharing his tips on using Facebook, I thought I’d share a feature that has started paying dividends for me. It’s the Blog Network application on Facebook. And, if your blog isn’t featured, I would recommend you submit yours as soon as possible.
I submitted one of my blogs, FunnyVideooftheDay.net, and it’s already ranked in the top 20 within the humor category and the top three within the entertainment category.
The reason it’s ranking so high so quickly is because this is a feature on Facebook that’s just starting to take off. And, we all know that the best time to jump on any opportunity is at it's infancy, right?
The way your site is ranked is by the number fans who have joined your blog within Facebook. To see how this works, visit this page for my blog and you can see how the application looks within your profile. Feel free to become a fan if you’d like, and you’ll see how the blog will then end up within the Blog Networks section of your profile.
To submit your blog, all you have to do is go to the Blog Networks section of Facebook and submit your blog. It’s that simple. We’re all here to get more traffic to our websites and blogs, and the Blog Networks section is one of those hidden gems that everyone with a blog should definitely take advantage of.
Good luck and happy bloggin' and Facebookin’.
Jason.
