BloggersBase.com – Get Discovered and Make Money Online

Looking to Start a Blog? Looking to Actually Have People Read It?
BloggersBase.com is a competition-based discovery platform where anyone – writers, journalists, bloggers – can submit content and get immediate exposure. And the better you are, the more exposure you get. And the higher your ranking, the more cash and prizes you get…and I loves me some cash and prizes.
But seriously, when I heard about BloggersBase, I was intrigued. Formatted as an online magazine made up of multi-authored blogs, covering a variety of topics, BloggersBase is also moderated by algorithm-enhanced reader input, which determines the rankings of the blogs.
The competition runs like this: each category has a limited amount of official bloggers at any given time. Everybody else is in the Goldmine, competing to become one of the official bloggers. There are Timeslots with specific time limits; at the end of each Timeslot, the lowest ranked bloggers are relegated back down to the Goldmine, while the Goldmine posters with the best-rated Nuggets (the name for the Goldmine blogposts) gets elevated to official blogger. And so it goes, with people continually having to maintain the quality of their blogs to stay on top.
And where do the cash and prizes come in? (Cause you know I’m all about making money online. Have I mentioned that before?) You can earn them two ways: either by participating in the Timeslot contests, or by inviting your friends via affiliate links; in that case, if your friends win the competition, you’ll be rewarded as well. Blogs are ranked on everything from professionalism and presentation to value and imagination. As with the bloggers, the readers gain rankings with how accurately they rate, although they’re not regulated by the Timeslot contests.
The system seems fairly intuitive and easy to use. And in going through some of the comments, any suggestions about improving the functionality of the site or ideas for new categories, etc., were responded to quickly. BloggersBase seems interested in what their bloggers have to say and takes their opinions seriously.
And for those of you that already have established blogs that you want to promote, BloggersBase does not require exclusivity, and encourages you to publish all your posts for them on your own sites as well. You can also put links in your profile and your posts to your sites. You’ll reach a new targeted reader base instantly and get critiques and rating to improve your writing. So you can promote your sites as well as win cash and prizes; sounds like a win-win to me.

Sounds like a good platform John. I am just wondering if posting the same post on your blog and this platform are they allowing do follow links back to the original post back on your blog, otherwise peoples blog posts could be seen like duplicate content in the search engines..?
Yes they do allow you to link to your original posts….Im a member there….the site does not yet give you traffic at all since its pretty new…..but now is the best time since you can build the rating fast
Another great place for blogger to join, but what’s the different with the other service like Technorati, etc, cash or prizes?
Sounds needlessly complicated to me and any affiliate earnings will be hit & miss. What kind of exposure does this site offer, how much traffic is it going to send?

[...] Your page is on StumbleUpon [...]
Thanks for recommending the site. I have been looking for different sites to join where I can do my reviews and stuff and bloggersbase is just what I need to earn a little extra moo-lah.
bloggersbase is a good start point i would say to help most new bloggers generate some type of traffic and exposure, but with all the social networking sites out there, i dont think it will top the type of exposure that sites like Twitter or Digg creates tho
but nonetheless, its nice to see sites trying to help bloggers out there
Its nice to see sites trying to help bloggers.
Sounds like an interesting service, I especially like that you can put the posts on your own site. Of course, this begs the question: what do they get out of it?
Worth a try to submit there. Too many backlinks are never enough.
Another interesting site.
I kind of like the idea of ‘earning’ your blogger title and rank as oposed to simply posting anything and starting with the same ‘value’ as any other author. Seems a good way to increase user experience and value.
Cheers!
