New Blogging Toys
[ad]
In the past few days I have run across several new toys. First is the MyBlogLog Widget. It gives you a nice idea of who is coming and going of MyBlogLog subscribers. MyBlogLog was a new networking site to me and one that I am slowly building some real friends on, even if I have done enough to promote the site there yet. I am novel editing and surfing and blogging only as time is permitting.
The next new widget is from myLot. It is a discussion network that lets you make money by bitching and moaning about what ever is on your mind or reply to ther peoples posts. MyLot has a lot of advertising on the page, but the fact is they share it with you for creating content. Last night I made a handful of quick replies, and this morning I had made nine cents. Not a lot, but I cross promoted the hell out of my blogs in every post I replied to. The Other Blog received more than a dozen hits from there overnight. MyLot also shares your referrals income with you. In my book MyLot is a winner.
The next widget is from Lijit and it will help you connect to all of your readers with all of your networks. For those of us who want to share our resources and multiple blogs in one place this is a fine widget. I am seeing a marked increase in my traffic from this one. Get Lijit today!
Next up is FeedJit. because i have information through Google Analytics about who and where people come from and where they go with more detailed information I was skeptical about the value of this one. Then a friend of mine told me that in his office they play a sort of FeedJit tag going from place to place to place and see who can travel the farthest or find the coolest thing over their lunch break using it. They also Twitter them back and forth when they should be working. With that new insight I will be adding the Twitter plugin back to my widget list soon.
Last but not least is my Alexa widget. This isn’t very exciting but it does provide me with some valuable data or will in the future.
