Thanks so much for adding blog Engage on your list! For a while there we were always getting missed! But with my dedication and promotional marketing efforts we have successfully penetrated the Social networking market and our growth continues! As you already mentioned launching the forums was a big hit! I add mods daily which allows even more ways for our members to promote their blog and get help when needed!

I love blog engage and I’m hoping we are here for ah while! We just added a user blog sections that allows our members to host and promote their blogs using any blogger template! We added a blog links directory that has exploded with links and as mentioned the forums are doing great!

Again thanks for mentioning us with these other sites! We work hard so our members can benefit from using blogengage and glad you continue to be a member

Thanks again

Thanks.

Several of these I was not even aware of. I do find that the social networks do drive traffic, how many of them are actually legitimately interested in your posts is another story.

I am definitely going to try a few of these.
