John,

Great tips. This past weekend I decided to remove the Digg button from the top of my posts and bury it in my bookmark toolbar at the end.

I now proudly display the Blog Engage Vote button via the plugin. I’m curious why you suggest manually placing it, or are you suggesting to do this in addition to the plugin?

I also made a post about why I made the change from Digg to Blog Engage and the response was great. I was not expecting such a response.

Brian is doing some great things over there, and it is reflected in the results I am seeing on my site.

Thanks for sharing these tips!

Brad

@Boomerblogger, you hit on something that I intend to write about in regards to deep linking strategies, I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

I do like the idea of writing a quick how to or some guidelines on submitting, I know that I don’t submit every article that’s on here. I typically try to stick to posting the stuff that might either help another blogger or something that I know the community enjoys based on previous success’s.

As for submitting articles, I have gone back in my archives and submitted a few posts that I thought would be good. However I typically do this when I know my traffic is lagging in hopes of giving it a little added boost. I am a fiend when it comes to numbers, I don’t like my blog traffic to drop from any previous week and have been like that for a while. So on those bad weeks or weeks I am super busy and just can’t get the job done on here, I look for previous content to pull me through.

I’m happy you asked that question, it’s really something I should have put on the table a long time ago.

Hello John,
I have been using BlogEngage just a short time so appreciate your tips here. When you say, do not flood it with articles, you might have a new post here, an article about guidelines for posting on BE and which types of articles you should post and those to stay away from. How often to post, etc. This may be a stupid question but as a blogger who has been publishing for three years on multiple blogs should I be posting articles on BE that are new posts or can I pluck articles from the past and put them on as well?

I don’t know if I was doing something wrong but for the past months that I’ve been on Blog Engage, I’ve never seen signs of traffic from Google Analytics not even a single one! I don’t know if it was just me or am I really missing out something? I give props when it’s due anyway.
