Will you Follow me on Bloglovin?

Will you Follow me on Bloglovin'?  Have you tried it?

I'm always looking for more ways to gain exposure and get organic traffic, that is, people who actually want to come see my site because - well - they think it might be of interest to them!  So I look at places that offer a little more publicity for bloggers like myself.

Enter Bloglovin', as they call themselves.  Have you tried it?

So far, I have netted exactly 1 real follower.  The rest are all porn merchants...

How does it work?

In order for the system to work, you have to put a link back to the site on your site.  It needs to be in a post, like the one below.

I found it to be a pain in the neck when I first tried to set it up, but that was just me, not following instructions.  Once it was picked up by their servers, it opened to a really nice-looking page, as you can see.  It really displays all my posts very nicely.

The only problem is, I don't get a lot of good follows.  But that might have more to do with the amount of traffic I get at this blog.  

But is it safe?

I've been on it with a number of sites for quite a few years and have never had a problem, other than with the quality of the people who have followed my blog.  I get a notice in my inbox every time someone follows, and I can easily check them out.

But I have had no problems with security of any kind and have actually found some really interesting and quality blogs by spending a bit of time on the site.  There are a lot of good blogs linked on there.

So, if you like what you see here on this blog, please consider following me here and also on Bloglovin'.  I can use the exposure, and perhaps you will find it handy, too.

Follow my blog with Bloglovin' and try it yourself, if you're a blogger, too.
