Hello again!
In my last post, i mentioned something like this:
From today, i want to give some appreciation to my visitors and commentators by giving some kind of reward.
My 2008 intentions where to reply back with at least one new comment on my visitors blog, but sadly i failed that objective miserably. So i thought, what else can i do?
The answer was simple. I can reward my users through social networking.
So here is what i thought:
Every user that writes one comment here at BloggerVenue will receive at least 1 stumble at stumbleupon, and 1 submission to my new Social Bookmarking project from their latest post.
Off course, there are some rules.
I wont submit posts to Moocial that don’t fit in the Social Bookmarking standards, such as “Monday Link Love” type of posts, updates about the blog and other thin posts that don’t have some important information.
I won’t stumble and add articles of users that write comments like “Cool” or “Good post”.
Along this, i will try to keep up with my comments on other blogs, although that is a bit complicated at this phase of my life….
Everyone wins. You win because you will get tones of visitors from StumbleUpon. You win because you get a backlink from your comment on this blog and a backlink from my social bookmark site with no effort. I win, because i get comments here, i work on my new site and increase my stumble profile
This is a pretty neat way of doing things. I love seeing new and inventive ways of getting people to comment, subscribe etc. It makes me wonder why I can’t come up with a great idea like that once and awhile.
Thanks Bruno. I don’t know if this is a great idea or not. It is just a small way to reward an incentivize user participation.
I just let ideas pop up from nowhere. lol
Good ideia.
Maybe you will win more comments with that.
STUMBLED!
Great idea, I gave you a Stumble in return.
Thanks! As promised i stumbled one of your posts and added an article to moocial.
loved the layout
btw. nice site
Nice way to reward your commentators Hugo, you have gone outside the box with this idea, nice work.

I have to say, i am surprised with the reactions
Wow! Nice Idea. It might prove a good way to increase your readership. Also you will get some good comments. If you won’t mind can I use your idea. Its really good.
let’s see i this goes.
For now i have been stumbling an adding some new “Moo” entries on my site
This is a brilliant idea to get more comments , I’m amazed you have time to do all these things
doing all this manageable, at least for now
Seems like you have a new design here, Hugo. I just have mine redesigned too. I did a lot of segmentation and I hope it helps people to find what they like
Hey louis. Your new theme is way much better than the previous one. Nice choice for the revolution church theme
Wow. Awesome! I think its going to require a lot of work from you right? Anyway its a nice idea to gain more comments…
yes. it requires a bit of work indeed… but so far nothing i can’t handle hehe
this is a very generous thing to do. and i feel very stupid for not having even heard of moocial before this…i will go and check them out now.
i also appreciated your honesty about just not having the time to reciprocate in kind for every comment that is left on your blog. in theory that would be a wonderful thing for all bloggers to do; but in reality no one would have any time left over for blogging after spending their days in the comments. your new idea seems much more balanced. i may adopt something similar on my own blog. thanks!
ah, you haven’t heard of moocial because is a new site
thank you for your kind words jackie
feel free to adopt something similar on your blog
Nice idea, Hugo!
I just arrived at your site when searching for a free peel away ad script. Thanks for helping me with that…I’ve now got another advertising option for advertisers.
im glad you find the peel script useful
Now way! Im Shocked!! Shame on you Tom!!! :p lool
