peace out!

Hi John,

I am reagular reader of blog. I know your blog since 2 months. But perhaps you don't know it. Whenever I get time, I love to read your blog. But as you have said in your blog that you update your blog many times in a day, now you would be able to know who is there keeping the eyes on your blog. Really it is very nice service. I have joined the community on January 15, 2007 and since then my profile has been view more than 700 times. I just love it. I run google ads on my blog. I am trying to generate some pinch of money by it since 6 months. But all in vain. But after joining Mybloglog, I have earned $3 in less than a month. I am happy with it. I wish to earn more. For guidlines I read Problogger.net. Really fantastic site. I wish to work with you. Please reply at jane.parker@rediffmail.com. Waiting for your reply.

Regards
Jane

Hey everbody, come and see how good i look. dont act like your not impressed.

Looks good. I think it's a great way for networking and building a community.

I also added MyBlogLog to my blog a few days ago and I like it so far...

that is interesting, I am going to sign up to with them !! sounds good

i'm just posting this to get my pic in here

It looks like the plugin does work, the avatars showing up do give some kind of personal feeling, but on the other hand I think it looks a bit unprofessional to have that kind of blocks on your blog, simply asking people to sign up. I might consider it ;)

I've been a member for a few months now and have debated on inserting the widget for it in my blog. I thought it made the blog lose a little of the professionalism. But judging by the numbers it's bringing in, it's increased visitors by 5.6%. Right now, the 5.6% is worth whatever professionalism I may have lost.

Dang, John again demonstrates the power of his popularity. He joined MBL a few days after me and already has blown past me in terms of community members and no doubt the contact list.

Hey John,

I added your community to my profile, now it's your turn to return the favor. :-)

Wow things are changing around here

I signed up for mybloglog to help increase my stats. I dont use the widget to put pictures on my blog but whenever I visit someone elses blog the owner will likely visit my blog.

All you need now is My Avatars

Works with MyBlogLog... It shows MyBlogLog avatars in the comments.

I don't know... I keep seeing it everywhere but I just don't really see the utility of it all. Am I missing something?

wouldn't hurt to experiment with this! I'm going to try it when i get around to isntalling it.

Even after the pro trial expires you will still get some basic stats like visitors and clicks, but the more descriptive ones will be gone. I would recommend the feed burner standard stats for your traffic tracking needs, especially since the feed for the site is already with them.

I really enjoy MyBlogLog simply since it puts a face to a reader. It allows me to get to see who my 'regulars' are, which is quite nice.

The folks over at MyBlogLog are buried in development now that they're with Yahoo! so I feel good that it's getting the attention it deserves.

I have commented on some enhancements that MyBlogLog could do, but with its widgets and its service... I'm doubtful any of them will have to do with enhancing their statistics package. I utilize Google Analytics for that.

Eric has personally responded to some ideas I've passed on... that meaans a lot to me. I hate simply being a 'user'.

I have seen some issues with performance with MyBlogLog... they queue their pictures from A3 it appears and sometimes it's a little slow. I look forward to them updating to an Ajax-style plugin that post-loads the images so spead is not a factor.

It helps put the "Social' in Social Networking.

Regards,
Doug

Don't we connect faces at PHO?

If you're using Feedburner, they already have stats. They recently married their two services together: Feedstats and SiteStats. Analytics is also free, and the code and service is very fast.

I have a MyBlogLog account, but I'm not sure if I'm going to put it on my blog yet. It wouldn't be fair to the Top Comment Whores fighting for a prize this month. I might try it next month.

Nice to see you on MBL, John. I think it is a great service and I like that you can now connect faces to readers.

MyBlogLog is a neat tool to add to your blog. I've enjoyed having it on mine.

I have used MyBlogLog Pro for over a year now on one of my sites (a link blog) and recently renewed my subscription. I have loved the service. The reports feature is extremely useful and I've used it to incorporate two features on my blog - 1) What readers loved to click, and 2) What I would like my readers to click. Trust me, the two lists are completely different :)

Very leery still about MyBlogLog, John, especially for a high traffic, high profile site such as yours. I was an early user of MBL for the purpose of tracking my blog statistics. It worked well, although like all of the javascript 'glue on' tracking services it misses users and clicks ... will not agree with the simple and accurate stats available from my server logs.

However, it was cute and hand. Then they re-launched themselves as some kind of viral, "community" network and, in my view, took a useful service and turned it into something which I can not fathom the purpose of.

I suddenly became the "leader" of a "community" populated bu obvious "script kiddes", jerks who had no interest at all in my blog, just trying to connect to as many communities as possble to be noted, and many apparently underage folks and a couple older folks improperly interestd in the younger ones. Creepy. And the sad part is, MBL does not allow you to control who joins your list, and does not respond to queries regarding this issue.

As a publisher, interested in monetizing your work, consider this:

MBL is owned by Yahoo! How many pixels are you thus giing away to Yahoo! for no return?

Yahoo! essentially "owns" a ton of data now regarding your site(s) and you don't even really know what they are collecting, nor what they will do with this data.

You are publicly making yourself the "leader" of a community which you have no control over the membership of ... could be some bad juju.

Traffic is one thing, how you are portrayed and who that traffic is may, indeed, be another thing.

And lastly, MBL's code and servers slow down page loading ... who needs that?

I will try out the stats for the full three days before deciding if I want the Pro or not. Ya, I had to do a bit of tweaking to make it look right with the blog. The current setup looks pretty good. was debating whether to reduce the 5 rolls to 5, but I think I will keep it at 5.

I tried this for a blog of mine once but it never quite looked right. Doesn't look too bad here, though. Are you going to pay for pro?
