The Blog Co-Op is Actually working fantastic right now. In time with more quality people it will be even more powerful
The fact that we are a Spam Free Board and watch with an eagle eye to help members make the most of their actions has paid off. We are kicking but getting content indexed.
I am having a hard time getting people to understand what we have done with the Blog Co-Op. This is not a toy or a game we have developed. On the face yes it looks like another list your blog and maybe some one will come along and look. We designed this with saving time in mind.
We have split everything up into topic specific areas.
Posting in the blog Co-Op is another good solid "follow back-link"
Easy and fast access to manual comment on others blogs.
Easy and Fast access to grab posts to Bookmark.
Automatically hooks you into an extensive web of RSS feeds
Posting mini or lead-in posts with your perma link will Deep Link your site and give authority to inside pages not just to the main page. Can't forget Content is King, got to give enough to the bots so they connect the relevance between posts.
I have tried every which way to explain the Blog Co-Op system.
If it is exposure you are looking for this is not a bad place to start.
We are VERY Serious about what we are doing here.
The problem was we spent a over a year testing different components of promotion, had all these things that we made work and work well. Then we realized we knew all this stuff and had no product. So we looked at blogs because they were the platform of choice. What we are doing just cant efficiently be done on anything but a forum, especially when time is a factor for everyone.
In the intrum we had halfheartedly joined an MLM with Mike Adams, Didn't really have time to do much with it, but built another blog on Sherylloch.com did some research and put some articles on, (don't even want to get into how that is ranking above Mike Adams Natural News at times). That's not the point the point is the only promotion that Sheryl had done was go to forums and change her sig-line, That was the extent of promotion.
So besides being a fantastic venue to organize many mini-posts and their perma-links with out being considered a link farm. The forum board still had some push behind it if there was No Spam.
Hope this helps explain alittle about what we are doing and the fact that we are dead serious about what we are doing
