The most successful blog breeds a community of readers that keeps coming back to check for new posts, and even to revisit old but substantial articles. You have to find a way to track all those readers, so that, shall I say, things can get more personal. The most successful tracking tool that takes the imprint of all your visitors is MyBlogLog. If you’re an avid reader of blogs like www.yugatech.com/blog or you have visited my tutorial blog www.guitartutee.com, then you have probably noticed already of a sidebar widget which contains these little pictures of the sites’ visitors. That’s MyBlogLog.

Advantages:

  • visitor tracking
  • monitors the most-clicked out link(meaning link on your website that redirects people off) also known as ClickTagging
  • again, provides your website with tagging capabilities for easier searches
  • other mybloglog users can find your blog on mybloglog.com and
  • while logged in, your imprint is left on other blogs that you visit
  • which means increased sources for traffic
  • MyBlogLog acts as the Friendster of the blogging world
