To start off, what exactly is social media aggression? To make a long story short, “Aggressively promoting your blog regardless of the energy/time consumption for maximum returns”. It’s about really doing something aggressively and taking a risk to take your blog to the next level! There an thousand and one ways to “aggressively” promote your blog, social media sites being the killer joint.
So now, let’s take a look at where and how the aggression pays off.
Since my account had become inaccessible in BlogCatalog for no apparent reason, I’ve concentrated my efforts fully on Yahoo!’s MyBlogLog. And can’t say it hadn’t WOW!ed me. Backlinks are great. And the traffic? Awesome!
The simple but effective method here is to use the “Friender” service and add as many friends as you can, and at the same time, register all your social networking accounts with MyBlogLog. After doing so, every time you do something on other sites, MyBlogLog will update your friend’s social feed. For an instance, if you post on your blog or Twitter something, it will say “This user posted this on his/her blog” or “This user twittered: something”, in all of your friends’ social feeds.
If you have 300 friends, then it’s like having 300 (give or take a few) potential subscribers to your blog, twitter followers and social media friends, on MyBlogLog and beyond.
I’ve seen many people following a zillion of other people hoping that they would return the favor on Twitter. But the fact of the matter is that most of them won’t. But there are effective ways of significantly increasing your odds of being followed. And this is one such method.
You know, companies like IZEA or campaigns like ObamaCampaign follow a mass number of people on Twitter, hoping that they would follow back. Sometimes they do, and sometimes, they don’t. But if someone indeed followed IZEA on Twitter, just because IZEA started following them at the first place, then there’s a high chance that, that particular user believes in reciprocal following.
So, this is the secret. If you’re a blogger in the MMO niche, and you want to maximize your exposure through Twitter, you can follow a good number of people following IZEA, (IZEA is the company behind PayPerPost and SocialSpark) and you will be getting a good number of followers interested in what you’re blogging about. If you’re a political blogger, do the same with ObamaCampaign and you’ll get some good targeted followers.
So, feel free to experiment and let me know how it goes.
Good post i like MyBlogLog it does bring in quite a bit of traffic.
Yeah it does David.. But it takes sometime at first..
Hm so far blogcatalog brings me more traffic than mybloglog. However I’ve never been involved in both community actively
I started being active in both mybloglog and blogcatalog and so far they both have managed to bring me considerable traffic. Managing still a 2 weeks old blog and having daily visitors exceeding 700 might not have been possible without these 2. But so far I got the most traffic from Digg and the fact that most diggers are from usa will help you get approved for some publishers like chithika and market leverage.
I would love to see a post about digg tactics from nadeesha

Really? I would have really been engaged with it if they would just let me access me my account. Don’t really know what’s wrong. It started when I bought a sponsored listing from their directory. We’ll see how it goes…
I thought my case with blogcatalog is an isolated case. Thank you for posting. I was wondering before if I did something wrong that I cannot accessed my account.
I am a member of MyBlogLog and Blogcatalog but getting traffic needs you to be communicating with other users. But I do get traffic from them.
Thanks for this article.

A while back, my account was suspended from Blogcatalog without explanation and I have no idea why. Similarly, Mybloglog has since been getting that portion of my attention, and quite deservedly I should say. Next to StumbleUpon and Google, it seems to bring me most of my traffic since I started watching my analytics.
i was using mybloglog but im getting more traffic and more use from blogcatalog as it has loads of different forums.
