MyBlogLog, located at www.mybloglog.com, is a popular social networking service that includes a popular Web widget that you can install on your blog or content Web site. The MyBlogLog widget shows your visitors the most recent MyBlogLog members who have visited your Web site, including each member’s avatar and screen name. The MyBlogLog community represents an eclectic group of individuals that are interested in finding new Web sites.

You can use the MyBlogLog widget and community to increase traffic to your Web site and build buzz around your Web site content. In addition to displaying the MyBlogLog widget on your Web site, your MyBlogLog membership consists of a profile page that is made publicly available on MyBlogLog.com. Your MyBlogLog profile page can include lists of the Web sites you own and blogs you author, and a personal or business profile that you can use to actively build contacts from the MyBlogLog community.

One of the keys to success using MyBlogLog to build buzz and generate traffic to your Web site is by adding as many relevant contacts to your profile page as possible. The more contacts you have, the more likely it is that your contacts will visit your profile page on a regular basis and learn more about you and your Web site. One way to actively build contacts on a regular basis is to add the MyBlogLog widget to your Web site.

Whenever a MyBlogLog user who is not a contact visits your Web site, you should immediately add that person as a contact. Another approach to building contacts is to visit other Web sites that display the MyBlogLog widget because the Web site owner is likely to see your avatar and screen name and add you as a contact.

Adding a MyBlogLog widget to your Web site allows you to collect statistics about your Web site, including where your Web site visitors came from, what pages your visitors viewed, and what links the visitors clicked while on your page. Your Web site statistics are available through your MyBlogLog account page and can be retrieved based on any specified time frame. Although not a comprehensive Web site statistics program, the MyBlogLog widget provides you with meaningful data that you can use to better understand your visitors. People can leave you public or private messages on your profile page, and you can leave public or private messages for others.

Messages include your avatar, screen name, and a link back to your profile page. Leaving messages is a good strategy for encouraging others to visit your profile page and learn more about the Web sites you author. Your profile page includes a feature that allows you to see the most recent members of the MyBlogLog community to visit the page. You should add as a contact any MyBlogLog members that visit your profile page, and you should also return the favor by visiting their profile pages.
