BlogEngage is known as a social bookmarking sites as well as a popular community for bloggers. Although there are a lot of similar sites that allows you to submit blog posts or vote and comment on other posts, BlogEngage is still my favorite and I’ve been active here for nearly 2 years.
I see many people are underestimating the value of BlogEngage as their blogs didn’t receive many visits even when their posts were published on the front page. That’s true because BlogEngage won’t work that way. I was featured on BlogEngage as Weekly Top User and I want to take this chance to write a review of BlogEngage and how it could unleash the traffic potential of your blog.
My blog in just 6 month old and thanks to BlogEngage, it has been able to get over 2,000 views each day now. As a result, the Alexa rank of my blog also increased dramatically from above 300,000 to the top 100,000 last month. The huge increase happened in August when I started using the BlogEngage RSS Syndication. By using the service, all of your blog posts will be submitted automatically to BlogEngage and other well-ranked social media websites like Blog Serp, Top Blogged, RSS Leak, Blogger Ink, Tag Serp and Blogger Tag. It is notable that all the submitted links are do-follow, so this is probably the easiest way to get more backlinks to your posts. Since I tried the service, my blog posts are getting ranked higher on search engines, especially for low-competition keywords.
Of course, you can submit your posts to those sites manually one by one but it is very waste of time. I submitted over 600 articles to BlogEngage and just imagine if you do it manually to the list of bookmarking sites, you will need to spend at least 20 hours of your life. Don’t save a few bucks each month and waste your valuable time. If you want to join the community now, you are required to pay a one time signup fee of $29.99.
BlogEngage is currently offering 6 membership packages for you to choose. Check out all the packages here.
I am using the Platinum Membership that allows up to 3 unique blog feeds and my articles are submitted into the community every hour. It costs only $9.99 per month and I can forget about submitting new blog posts to these sites. However, to get more exposure for your blog, you still need to spend some time voting and engaging with other bloggers in the community. You will see how your traffic could be boosted then.

Hey Tuan,
I have never used Blog Engage before but it sounds like it worked well for you. I would say that the initial investment is worth it in terms of traffic coming to your site.

Hi Justin,
BlogEngage is the most active community for bloggers I’ve ever joined. There are over 2,000 active bloggers and I believe you can see a lot of popular ones here. It does not only help promote your blog posts but also get connected to other bloggers.
I will mention more about its advantages in the upcoming posts but I think you should try it yourself.
Simone says
That sounds really interesting Tuan. I just signed up here so am curious to see how it will turn out!
Tuan Do says
Hi Simone. Great to see you are joining BlogEngage. Have you signed up for the RSS syndication also? I’ve had a great experience with the community in the last 2 years, hopefully you will find it helpful too. :)

Hi Tuan,
I’m absolutely with you on the benefit on Blog Engage. It’s a great community of bloggers, and the networking and sharing I’ve done there has brought me more traffic, and helped me form some great connections.
I hadn’t looked into the Syndication Memberships before, but now you explain it so clearly, I’m intrigued. Better look into it further…
Thanks for sharing mate
Tuan Do says
You are welcome, Jym.
I guess your site will also get decent traffic from BlogEngage particularly when your posts are published on the front page. I have been connecting to some great bloggers there and the relationships are very important for all.
If you have many blog posts or some different blogs, I suggest you to give the RSS syndication a try.

Hi Tuan, I was googling on how can I get more traffic to blog and you sharing about BlogEngage has gotten me intrigued to give it a try. Hope that it will give me a boost as right now the numbers are not that mind blowing haha.
Tuan Do says
Hi mate,
Yes you should give it a try for your own experience, I guess you won’t be disappointed. I am giving the Blog Engage RSS syndication service in a contest, join it if you are interested. :)
