Last week Brian of Blog Engage made a bold move on Blog Engage.com. He changed the enrollment process of standard registration of submitting a form to invitation only. Brian made this move to help combat against spam accounts and other types of abuse that he has to deal with daily. Several bloggers, myself included, that this a bold move, but it will help the community as a whole.
Will This Hurt the Blog Engage Community?
I do not think this will hurt the community but help unit the group and help others become more friendly with the regulars. As the community grows in popularity, the site might be consider a club or an important group to join as a blogger. Blog Engage is a DoFollow blog submission community with its own built in voting systems. The users as a whole are great and several of the top users do their best to market Blog Engage daily. If that doesn’t help bring traffic to the site, then the site being a 100% revenue sharing site will help as well. As Hesham over at Famous Bloggers said one of his posts,
So How Do I get an Invite?
Its, just ask one your favorite blogs that has the vote button, or a Blog Engage logo their site. For this site, just fill out the Contact Form and let me know. Please make sure you fill in your web address. If you do not send me a link to your blog, I will not be able to send you an invitation.
After the invitation Only is implemented BlogEngage will rise in value too as well as we too rise. Now new bloggers will be requesting us for invitation, isn’t it? Just kiddding.
This new change, I feel, has two facets. On the one hand, we can expect than more genuine and good blogs will be participating and the society will be cleaner. At the same time, will new blogs really dying of getting in into BlogEngage community. Did we reduced the scope by raising high fences. Did BlogEngage believe that the number of blogs in its premises is overcrowded already? Otherwise, it would have been better to develop and implement alternate measures to keep the community cleaner and more useful than to build a higher and stronger Iron-gates.
You can disagree with me. I just expressed my feelings.
