I’m forever brainstorming ways to ramp up my site’s SEO (Search Engine Optimization). This week, I’ve been playing with Facebook pages, and I ran across an app called NetworkedBlogs, which allows you to:
- Add your blog to their directory
- Import your blog’s feed so your posts show on your Wall and in the News Feed of your friends and fans (they’ll do this once your blog on Facebook gets 6 followers)
- Invite your friends to follow your blog (of course!)
- Add other networked blogs to your profile Wall and Info tabs
- Put a NetworkedBlogs widget on your blog (see my sidebar for an example)
- Rate other people’s blog posts
As with all things Facebook, the interface isn’t very intuitive or user-friendly, but it’s not too challenging to add your blog to the directory. And if it helps people find your blog more easily, why not?
I added my blog to my personal Facebook profile, as well as to my Blogging Bistro page (yes, I believe in overkill).
Here’s a preview of what the page looks like (it includes my blog as well as the blogs I’m following):
My "Boxes" page on Facebook shows thumbnails of my own blog, as well as others I've favorited.
But in order to get the feed of my latest posts to display, I need six generous people to follow my blog on Facebook. Please take pity on this poor, friendless Facebooker, visit my new Blogging Bistro Facebook page, and click ‘Follow.” Thanks!
