New MyBlogLog service maximization tools
Allen Stern - January 22nd, 2007
SoloSEO has launched a variety of new tools to help maximize your MyBlogLog experience. SoloSEO notes, "Our tools go beyond the basic searching and browsing available at MyBlogLog by relying on the networks created between MyBlogLog users and Blog communities."
The tools include:
-
Compare Blog Visitors – want to see if there is overlap between CN and Mash? What about x and y? I like this because you can see which visitors hit your site plus your top competition
-
Compare Your Contacts – see which contacts you have in common with other contacts from the same blog
-
Compare Community Members – similar to the Compare Blog Visitors above, here they compare the people who have favorited a community with another favorited community
-
Common Communities between Contacts – see what other communities your contacts have in common and add them to your list
-
Show All Visitors – this tool shows you 6x more visitors than the MBL widget does. Tres cool!
-
Add Missing Contacts – find and add missing contacts to your MBL contact list
This is a great example of taking a tool and creating added value from it. Great job SoloSEO!
I know I am, Allen. Maybe I am being curmudgeonly, but getting ‘Thank you for taking the time to visit my site’ messages every time you decide to do some browsing is getting a bit tiresome, and frankly, likely to achieve the opposite effect to that intended.
Ian, I get messages about 1-3 times a week that someone has sent me a message yet there is no message except that person "favorited" CN. Personally, I don't like the widget frankly. I don't think a person's browsing behaviour should be made public. But obviously I am not with the majority since Yahoo just paid $10 million for them.
You see, I think MBL did have the potential to become the social network for those of us who don’t do social networks. We just like like-minded bloggers.
However, since it’s become an SEO hotpoint, all that potential has been drowned.
Interesting Ian, I didn't realize it became a SEO hotpoint, but yea, look at Wikipedia, they just announced that all links are now nofollow links. Maybe the same needs to happen to MBL?
