Bloggers.com a Network all Bloggers Should Join

PLEASE NOTE:
THIS BLOGGERS NETWORK NO LONGER EXISTS

I joined Bloggers.com back in 2010. I found out about it from my friend Brian Belfitt the owner of Blog Engage (which is another popular network I recommend). 

In this message from Park, owner of Bloggers.com, he describes the site in simple terms:


"This re-designed community site is even better for letting talented bloggers know each other and share resourceful contents. Here, I hope you will introduce yourself here, enjoy great contents and invite friends with similar mindset."
I agree that this is exactly what you will find at Bloggers.com and here's why I think you will benefit from joining the site:

My experience with Bloggers.com

If you're thinking to yourself I don't have time for another social network, don't worry you don't need to spend time on the site to benefit from signing up. Most of the time I don't visit the site yet I get friend requests all the time. Have you ever heard the saying "set it and forget it" - well that is what you can do with your account on Bloggers.com. The backlinks from the site will add up each time to publish a blog post. Others can vote on your content if they wish but it's not mandatory.  Sign up with Twitter and this will also might the process quick and carefree on your part. This is one of the few sites that you can get noticed quickly without  a huge investment of time. 

When you create your account and add the RSS feeds from your blogs, you will need to place a small badge in your sidebar or footer.  


TIP: link the Bloggers.com badge to your profile page so that people can easily find your account and add you as a friend.
