This is something that I think I heard about but never paid much attention to. After reading this, I might have to go give it a look.

You won’t be disappointed, Nick. I’ve submitted about ten posts and seen my traffic double in the last week. I think you’ll see the same result, too

@Thomas – Thanks for the Zooms, Thomas. I’ve also Zoomed a few of your articles. It looks like there’s a pretty good spread of sites on the front page, with nobody getting the spotlight for too long. I was a bit worried that if everyone was submitting all of their posts from the last year or so that BloggingZoom would be overrun with information overload, which would make the front page quite a bit different.

Luckily, it looks as though everyone is gradually putting their past posts on the site

@Vic – I think you’ve done a great job with BZ, Vic. I tip my hat. You and Courtney have certainly made a winner and I’m looking forward to many months and years of happy operation. This will be the single point where new bloggers are “discovered” and rise to new heights

“Digg or any other site there code does that.”

Sorry meant to say there code does not do this only our heavy mod code base does.

Jason one of the things we have worked hard is that after you make a submission an additional code that was implemented markets your submission gaining authority, basically what this translates to is that even after your submission is on page 2345 after a certain time that BZ keeps getting more and more authority with keywords one day that post from 9 months ago that you have forgotten suddenly will start to rank higher and get organic traffic from the search engines.

Digg or any other site there code does that. This is why right now I have not implemented some community features because may main concern has been to fully mod the code to do this for you guys.

Thank you for your honest and great review.

To your sucess.

I’ve also been using bloggingzoom since I found it a couple days ago. I saw one of your articles on the front page. I like your blog so I zoomed your four articles.
