Blogging has never been so popular today and the need of spreading the news and your blog is getting popular these days, there are already many tools around there in promoting blogs and getting as much traffic as possible and one of the most popular tools are online/social bookmarking widgets and also help in the SERP.

Widgets work like displaying a particular post post/blog in a container that is related to your blog or topic, it is like an external link but it revolves around the blog/site with that particular widget, your site will post automatically to another site with the same widget depending on what community you are in or a member with.

These sites offer the most popular blog widgets today and most of all, they are free. (My preference).


1. Blogrush

Pros: This is one of the that dominate the widget market today, their services are good and generate good topic in terms of publishing blogs. It is easy to join and it is free. The blogs or links they generate are of good quality, It needs approval before it can be approved.

Cons: You cannot edit the widget layout, to few accessiblity to its fellow users, like communities, social bookmarkings. Few options to choose to promote in its members.

2. Blog Catalog

Pros: It is the most popular social networking site and widget today. Its growth is quite phenomenal. According to Alexa, BlogCatalog traffic has superseded Yahoo’s own MyBlogLog. BlogCatalog is currently ranked at 1,151 and an estimated to have 100,000 or more visitors. There are currently 73,000 blogs currently registered on BlogCatalog. It also has a PageRank of 7 which shows its authority on Google.

Cons: To many menus/buttons, confusing to beginners (sorry thats all I can say).


3. MyBlogLog

Pros: It is a social bookmarking that is getting popular fast and as result bought by google for 10 million dollars, It has a very good interface when it comes to customizing widgets and it is easy to use, a lot of traffic is also generated and has a lot of community to choose from

Cons: Its popularity is declining for unknown reasons, maybe the competition is getting rough or many are switching to other widgets, it is not as consistent as mentioned above. It is free but the features are not as full as the payed account.

Here you go, these are my list, there are still more out there and appearing in the web, it will help a lot in SEO your pages, just be careful in putting widgets as it may or sometimes affect the loading times of some blogs, but its still feasible if you want to have a high traffic in the blogosphere.

When people talk about television these days, they’re talking about Reality TV. It’s dominating the tube right now. We’ve got Survivor, Fear Factor etc, The Apprentice, The Amazing Race, American/Pinoy Idol, Pinoy Big Brother, Pinoy Dream Academy and many more.

Topics like who was picked by the Bachelor and who was dump by the Bachelorette, who was Hot and who was thrown off the Island. The viewing public’s fascination with these shows is growing at a rate matched only by the number of them in production.

But why reality? Whats behind the popularity and the boom. Here are the lists.

1. Money – “Theres no trick”, these shows are really cheap in terms of production. Say for example before the show “Friends” is one of the highest rated show on television, earning millions in advertising. But each of the six actors gets paid $1 million per episode compared to ‘Survivor’ gets ratings almost as high and doesn’t come with those costs.

2. We’re Voyeurs- these shows erased the boundaries between the public and the private. Anybody whose been deliberately eavesdropped on a conversation in a train or in a room or any places is going to relate to these shows “We’re a curious species I should say”

3. Genuinely Surprising – People get to be amazed the twist and turns in the show, especially when there are challenges or tests in the contestants or people in the show, it creates an adrenaline rush to viewer and wanting to wait and see what’s gonna happen next.

4. “thank-God-its-not-me” mentality- These shows can display a lot things and happenings which is particularly related to our daily lives, the dating aspect for example where , viewers can say they already been there but relieved that they are not the ones rejected or embarrassed themselves in national television.

Well, that’s for my list so far, I know there are other reasons behind the camera. But whether we like it or not, more of these types of shows are gonna be made and seen in the future.
