Marketing Blagger

If you have read my blog before, it’s likely you’ll know I participate in the Reddit community as a way to promote the occasional post on my blog (and also to ensure I read the best of the web). Unfortunately Redditers tend not to get so excited about internet marketing topics or blog posts, it’s really much more about political stories, the war in Iraq and amusing pictures of bad driving etc. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, I think Reddit is great, but for promoting your blog stories, expect to put some hard hours in building your karma score and to receive some pretty negative comments.

You could say I was quite pleased this morning then to come across PlugIM which is:

PlugIM is a user driven internet marketing community. Submit content, share articles, comment on projects and promote your favourites to the front page.

Great, a community specifically for internet marketers and by the looks of things bloggers. Even better is the WordPress plugin - which you’ll note I’ve just added to my blog - which allows you to vote for posts, much as you would with Reddit, Dig, delicious etc etc.

I’d like therefore to congratulate PlugIM on what looks like a really interesting product and secondly Michelle Macpherson for writing the plugin. I hope it proves to be of value, especially now that I have a zero score next to all but one of my posts - which I shamelessly plugged myself.

Please everyone, feel free to Plug any posts you enjoy reading.
