Pamela Gardapee
Gather.com has become a very popular place to promote blogs. The community is large. It has helped many promote their blogs. You can select groups to join and find people with similar interests that you have to be friends. Once you build your community up, you can start sharing articles and links to your blogs for more reading. The nice thing about Gather.com from Facebook and MySpace is that you can select the groups that you want to share your blog posts. This makes it ideal for posting many different blogs of different interests. You can select the groups that pertain to specific blogs. You do not have to make individual posts to the groups.

With so many people blogging, you need somewhere to share your posts and encourage conversations. The more friends and groups that you have, the more readers you will have going to your blogs. Traffic is the most important part of a blog. Social book marking helps increase the traffic. Without it, you could be missing huge amounts of traffic. Once you build a following, you should see your traffic on the rise. If you are selling something or rely on Google AdSense for revenue, you must have a way to attract readers.

Using Gather.com is easy. The sign up process only takes a few minutes and you can be on your way to meeting new friends. For instance, a blog called "From the Mouth of a Baby" would fall under parenting groups. You could join groups and meet potential readers. If you had a blog called "Gay Lesbian Lifestyle", you could join groups that are related to that subject. There are so many ways to promote your blogs and Gather.com is one popular social book marking site to use. There are so many groups that everyone can find groups and friends to share stories.

Start your blog today. Post a few articles and then join Gather.com to start promoting the blog to draw traffic. Once you are established with the book marking site, you can move onto a few other social book marking sites that can add even more traffic. However, make Gather.com your first stop.

Blogging is fun and when you have readers to share conversation with, it makes more interesting for others to join in. You need readers and followers. You need to start promoting your blogs right away to keep it going into the future.

    I syndicate my blog on Gather, as well as AC. I tend to get the most hits there
