Do you blog engage? If not you should be. I have spent many hours in social bookmarking sites over the last 2 years, and Blog Engage blows the rest of them away.
Blog Engage allows you to submit your articles, vote for other articles, and get involved in a great community of bloggers.
Blog Engage Introduction Video:
I admit, I was skeptical at first, as I said I had spent hours in over a hundred different social bookmarking sites. Yes, I was one of those Blogs that had a hundred little chicklets in the bottom right of every page of my site. I have tried them all!
None of them did a thing for my site, I never got any traffic from them, the back links were pretty well worthless, and I wasted so many hours on it.
Why Is Blog Engage Different?
It is really simple to answer that question, COMMUNITY. I wrote about building community in your comments yesterday, and I think people get so wrapped up in stats, PR, and backlinks that they forget what community really is.
Blog Engage has community. The other bloggers there will support you, vote for your articles, and even mention your site on theirs. These bloggers are a different breed than most of you are used to.
I have discovered some great sites in my niche (not a very small niche, everyone want to write about blogging!) and have networked with bloggers on Blog Engage through Twittter and Facebook too.
Conclusion:
GO JOIN!!!! What else are you doing to help promote your site, is it really working for you, are the referrals targeted for you? Does the traffic your current bookmarking sites you use actually comment on your articles? If not, you should check out Blog Engage right now!

I’ve heard of this but have never actually done anything with it. It must be something because I’ve seen people around the web talking about it.
What all has this done to help you besides what you mention above?

I have been using Blog Engage for one of my blogs and it is surprising how easy it is to get on their front page. While I haven’t had too much of an opportunity to become a huge part of the community there – I see a lot of value in it.

@Tom@Money Conversion, Tom, that is one of the huge pluses at BE, and their links are Do-Follow, so that front page gets you indexed faster as well as a great link back to your site.

Thanks for stopping by.
I like how you’re really a fencing contractor.
I’ll be back, not sure when, bunch of client work and have some technical articles to deal with, so I’m off the commenting circuit for a bit.

@Dave Doolin, Actually, I sold that business and have an online fence store store, I don’t actually install fences anymore. I find it much easier to just sell the products LOL.
I understand a heavy workload, have plenty to do myself!
Thanks for stopping by Dave!

BlogEngage is a really nice community for bloggers I came across. It’s a really one of the best place to meet/read new blogs/bloggers daily. You can make use of BlogEngage in many ways like:
*Finding Blogs To Comment On
*Making Money With It’s Revenue Sharing Program
*Submitting Blog Content For Backlinks
*Engaging with New Bloggers
Their new social status update feature brought recently is also a good thing and I think after bringing some more features to it which brian has told about. It will be a very thing on BlogEngage.
