Have you seen Blogg-Buzz.com?
I’ve recently stumbled on another social bookmarking site that looks worthwhile adding to your blog promotion tool kit. This one appears promising as it’s specifically designed by bloggers for bloggers. Set-up by a team including JohnTP, Shivaranjan and a handful of others, it is trying to draw bloggers away from Digg, Reddit and others to a more blog friendly community, helping you to find the best content in the blogosphere.
So what’s different about this bookmarking site?
First of all it’s specifically for bloggers. Anyone who has submitted a blog post to the mainstream bookmarking sites (Digg, Reddit, del.ic.ious) may have been voted down or even received a hostile comment or two. It looks like Digg has even banned some blogs from being submitted, including great blogs like John Chow dot com . This is just not going to happen in a community of bloggers and you can submit your own stories without fear of recrimination, assuming of course you stick to the Blogg-Buzz rules.
Blogg-Buzz also allows you to build up a community of other ‘buzzers’ who are writing about topics that interest you. This could be very interesting if for example you’re an internet marketing blogger looking for joint ventures, or if you’re looking to secure a guest writer for your blog. This is easily facilitated through the private message function.
One of the qualities I like the most bout Blogg-Buzz is that you can find out who is buzzing the most, i.e. voting on posts. If you can identify who is buzzing the most on your topic area, wouldn’t it be worth a quick message to introduce yourself and a relevant post. This would be a great way of driving more traffic to your blog.
The icing on the cake is that Blogg-Buzz also allows you to add your AdSense publisher ID to your account, therefore any ads displayed alongside posts you submit will start to earn you money. Don’t worry, it’s smart enough to ensure you don’t click on your own ads.
What would I change about Blogg-Buzz-com?
I would prefer to see some more categories, for example a section for internet marketing posts, or small business and general marketing topics - my areas of interest. Although I can see JohnTP is already addressing this issue. It would also be great to develop a WordPress plugin so that people can submit posts directly from the blog itself, rather than having to login to Blogg-Buzz each time. Maybe some chicklets would also be good for this.
The only other draw back is the design of the site. A good graphic designer could make this a sexy little number I’m sure. Other than that, my congratulations to the team at Blogg-Buzz.com.

I think its great to grow a network. I don’t know why social article sites would ban people but who cares. I have created a site that teaches people how to set up wordpress up and more visually.
Thanks JCG, it doesn’t make much sense to me either.
Nice plug of your blog by the way. If your offer wasn’t so interesting (this guy will set you up with an SEO’d WordPress blog for free) it probably would have got deleted..
