Blogging Communities

What is blogging community? Is it a community of bloggers or is it taking ur blog to the community?

It can be both depending on how you view it. It natural for bloggers that shares the same interest and passion on certain topics will follow other fellow bloggers of that genre. Hence they form a small community of niche bloggers. Sometimes, some bloggers may be more passionate and fervent in their chosen genres and wishes to publicize it to the community. For others, it may be to increase traffic to their site.

Bensen (2008) shares some tips on taking your blog to the community. Some new bloggers, myself included, will just continue posting new reads and expect other readers to stumble upon our blogs and be a follower. After reading Connie Bensen’s (2008) article, I realized that there is actually more to blogging than just putting up new post at your site. You have to be proactive in contributing on other’s blogs or outreaching to new community blogs. That way, you can expect higher site traffic on your blog in time.
