Where to Find Your Blogging Friends

May 30, 2010 - Last Modified: April 1, 2014 by Felix Albutra

blogging friends

There was a saying that states like this, “Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are!”.

Now, what does this means?

Knowing our friends is just like knowing ourselves, let’s say, if your friends are scum then you are a scum too, but if your friends are good they will judge you as a good individual also. Great! let’s relate this to blogging and see how this can be applied on the blogosphere and what’s the relationship here.

How this relate to blogging?

Well, if you have many blogging guru friends then your readers or viewers will judge you that you also hold such good reputation. Then you will also receive the same respect what your friends have got. But in the other hand, it’s a hard thing to find who to make friends with in your related niche you cover. My suggestions might solve your problem. Please read more until the end as I share to you some tips and hints to find those people who we want to be our blogging friends.

1. Search in Google.

As we all that google is a great search engine and also have the list of blogs that are related to your niche. To begin with, go to blogsearch.google.com and type the niche keyword you are in. After you press enter, the list of potential blogs that is related to your niche is now in front of you.

Next thing to do is visit some of those blogs and start participating their conversation through commenting. Do your best strategy to get notice by the author and its readers of the blog and make friends with them.

2. Subscribe to google alerts.

Google alerts is also source of gathering blogs related to your niche. They provide you the list of new updated blog related to your niche. To do this, go to Google Alerts and put the search keyword term that you want to subscribe. You have also the options how often you will receive the blog updates right in your email inbox.

3. Join forums.

Many bloggers have said that forums is a good source for traffic to your blog. But for me, it is also a good source of making friends with like – minded people. Join 1 – 2 forums related to your niche and start building your credibility through sharing or helping other members of the forums. For starters, find groups or discussions then try participate their conversations effectively.

4. Join Blog Engage.

As what blogengage admin (briann) have describe, Blog Engage allows you to submit your Blog Article(s) that will be reviewed by all and will be promoted by the admin or the visitors to the main page.

Joining groups is a good way to communicate with others, gather traffic and votes. To be able your post will be posted on the main page, submit your post in some low vote required groups. I would recommend 2 groups that you must join, the famous blogger club and young entrepreneurs club.

5. Join Blog Catalog and My Blog Log.

BlogCatalog and MyBlogLog is just like a blog directory and a forum where you submit your blogs and rank its popularity through its views. The good thing is that, many members here are often communicating each other through different discussions and private messages.

To find your blogging friends here, you can search the niche keyword you are in and the list of blogs will show up in front of you. You can also join groups and participate their conversations.

Warning! Don’t be tempted of doing exchange adsense click with other members here or you might be banned.

My words

The above tips is I think will work for you depending how motivated you are, in order to build your authority in your niche from the help of your friends. Don’t be discourage if they will reject you but instead show them that you are worth to be their friends.

If you find that there are things that I missed from this post or something that you could add, please do comments below.

    Nowadays you will gets all the bloggers on Facebook and Twitter and searching on Facebook is the easiest way there are many groups for blogger join them, they full of bloggers.. Happy Blogging..!! :)
  2. Caitlyn says:
    And another tool which I think should be mentioned in the article (but commenting will have to do!) that is a great 'connection tool' is CommentLuv. It brought me here and I haven't left yet, haha. It's a great resource for connecting with others in the same niche, discovering new blogs and articles, etc... Truly invaluable. Keep it up and keep in touch! All the best!
  3. Jason Jumat says:
    Today, one of the greatest importance is that you should socialize and get connecting. If you aren't, you won't do much good online. Making friends and having "related" friends thus make sense for everyone online. So besides having guru friends and gaining reputation - it's more importantly to help you rank higher.
  4. SEO Company says:
    Exactly all points are good if you want increases your friends & follower in your blog or Social networking site, if you do some quality post in forum as well in social networking sites this may give some help for increasing your friends.. all other way are also help full..

  6. Trafficke SEO Services says:
    I make new friends and create new connections online mainly with blog commenting. I love blog commenting, nofollow or not. It lets me have some good discussion with other interesting bloggers and commentators.
  7. Latief says:
    Me? BlogCatalog is where I met you Felix :D BlogCatalog is the first place I met new blogging friend :)
    • Felix Albutra says:
      You remember it Latief. We've been communicating each other on Blog Catalog and I always visit your blog on what is new in your blog posts.
      • Latief says:
        Yes always remembered all my first blogging friends, including my dear friend Hesham here bro. I've seen you have guest blogger on so many places now, congrats bro that is a great achievement my friend :)
        • Felix Albutra says:
          Thanks Latief, You share noticed it. I just love to do blog hopping and guest posting to get me and my blog noticed. But as I do it further, I noticed that I just love doing it because of many people who engage and share their own opinions about my guest post and comments. - Felix Albutra
  8. chandan says:
    Hi Felix, being active on different communities since a long time, I have already find out so many blogger friends. My all blogger friends are very helpful. I discuss most of my problem with them. I think that building community with the bloggers is essential part of our blogging.
    • Felix Albutra says:
      You can surely ask some help from your friends without hesitations because you think that they are beside you.... This why I love blogging because I do keep in touch to my new friends all around the world. Thanks for the comment Chandan. I hope we can build good friendship right now. - Felix Albutra
  9. RhoRho says:
    excellent tips, especially for me who is a new blogger. Have been doing it for a month and these tips are very helpful. thank you
    • Felix Albutra says:
      Hello Rhorho, Thanks for commenting. I am happy that I help you through this information. - Felix Albutra
  10. Blazing Minds says:
    I use quite a few communities and over the time I have been blogging I've met a lot of blogging friends through them..
    • Felix Albutra says:
      Yeah... Blogging is not online for making money online, but also for helping and sharing thoughts to other people and make friends with them. - Felix Albutra
  11. Premium Wordpress Themes says:
    I think you will be able to find most of your blogging friends by simply commenting on other blogs (useful comments, none of this "awesome post stuff"). If you have great content and you are commenting on other blogs they will come back and comment on your site and that's where it all begins. Next step...will follow me on twitter?
    • Hesham says:
      mmm.. I don't think you will have friends if you keep using "Premium Wordpress Themes" as your name!
      • AJ says:
        Haha. Your right, and I normally do not do it. But I do tend to use it on some of my friends dofollow blogs and you know how these things get remembered by your PC. And admittedly, having a site like WPExplorer.com will probably not get me too many friends... I think that would be a cool post to consider writing on your site... Money or Friends? Where you talk about the differences between simply trying to make profits or trying to become a followed blogger. How both strategies really differ (even in site design...eww adsense) and which actually works or if you need to have a little of both in order for your site to really excel.
        • Hesham says:
          I don't mind if you add your name like this "AJ @ Premium Wordpress Themes", so everyone will know your name and what you are doing, and also you will get your keywords linked, so.. basically this way will not hurt your relationship with bloggers who runs the "keywordLuv plugin" like us :) Yes, probably it's a nice idea for a new post, maybe you will see something like that soon if we have enough time, thanks AJ.
          • AJ says:
            Quick reply :) To be honest I didn't notice you were running keywordluv on your site. My computer just auto fills the comment fields sometimes and I forget to change them. Thanks for the heads-up and keep the good posts coming.
          • Felix Albutra says:
            You two have a good conversation isn't it? Indeed, commenting other blogs could build your authority and get notice in your niche especially if you've shared those quality and useful comments. Thanks for your sharing your opinions. - Felix Albutra
          • Latief says:
            Yea Hesham, I don't want to make a friend with some WP Premium guys or something, lol! Usually I'm not approve this such commenter on my blog.
  12. Ryan says:
    Hi Felix, All are great tips :) I've met most of my friends through twitter. I' ve met a fair number through FB too. I agree that it's important to maintain a network of good people. We all know the birds of a feather flock together saying and it's 100% true. Wherever your closest friends are heading, you're going there too. Make your buddies good, knowledgeable people. Thanks for sharing your insight. Ryan
    • Felix Albutra says:
      Hello Ryan, Thank you very much for your comment. I really appreciate it. If you don't mind, I would like to become one of your friends. - Felix Albutra
  13. Nasrul Hanis says:
    I find most of my blogging friends through blogs and blogging too. It's so amazing to meet new friends with new perspectives and opinions - it becomes extra marks for my passion in blogging! :D
    • Felix Albutra says:
      For me, it's really fun to make friends with different people and connect each other.
  14. Felix Albutra says:
    To all the people here who commented my guest post, I really thank you all and I really appreciate your great effort. I would like to announce that my old blogspot blog Real Blogging Advice dot com was already sold. That was my successful result of my case study: "How to may make a blogspot blog that sales". Now, I am launching my new blog called Blogging Access dot com sharing to everyone to "Build an Online Business Not Just a Blog". This time, I need your support via spreading this information to everyone. This may like begging you but I think, it is my way of helping bloggers that just treating their blog as a complete blog and not a medium for their online business. Thank you Hishaman for this great opportunity and may God Bless us all.... Regards, Felix Albutra | Blogging Access dot com
  15. Dev says:
    Nice Post Felix. I found most of my friends through facebook and blog commenting :) !! Thanks for sharing this great post.
  16. John Soares says:
    A good idea when searching for blogs in Google: use the advanced feature to find posts from the most recent week or month. This lets you know that a blog is still active. You'd be surprised how many dead blogs still rate well in search engines.
    • Blogging Access says:
      You are right John, I also noticed that when I search for an information about something then I found out that it's blog posts still the same which is featured on its home page. - Felix Albutra
  17. Thomas says:
    Blog commenting has been the main one for me. I used to be active on MyBlogLog a couple of years back, but it seems to have lost a lot of popularity.
    • Felix Albutra says:
      I also been using Mybloglog last year and been an active member into it. And I noticed that I didn't get any referral traffic from them. - Felix Albutra
      • Thomas says:
        They used to provide great referral traffic, but I think a lot of people have moved to Facebook and Twitter.
        • Felix Albutra says:
          I think that would the reason.
  18. Bailey Ing says:
    Excellent post here Felix, its so true that the people you associate with can make the difference to the perception of who you are too. I can say that as you mentioned in point 1, commenting on blogs can really develop friendships. I've not been in the blogosphere for that long but I've been able to build relationships fast. I'd suggest that twitter can be useful in seeing who else is in your niche, as their profile usually has a link to their blogs too and therefore you can find more blogging friends that way too. Happy meeting blogging friends everyone! Bailey
    • Felix Albutra says:
      Thanks Bailey, Yeah... twitter also is a good source of finding new friends in your niche. Even with that, there are still lots of twitter users just took their tweets for granted. I mean, they just go tweeting without even connecting. Thanks for your time commenting my guest post. I hope we can be good friends. - Felix Albutra
  19. Murlu says:
    Google Alerts sounds like a fantastic idea for when you're not just setting it up to monitor your own site. I like the idea of setting up keywords (kind of like how you can do in Tweetdeck) so you can find new articles right away.
    • Felix Albutra says:
      Google alerts is really a system because they will give the real blog that is alive and active in updating its content. Especially those blogs that also promoting related keywords as you do. Thanks for the comment Murlu. - Felix Albutra
  20. Andrew says:
    Found most of my on-line friends through private forums and commenting on each others blogs. Andrew
    • Harsh Agrawal says:
      And Andrew you forgetting Facebook where we found each other :)
      • Felix Albutra says:
        Yes... Facebook is also a good choice. Other than that, facebook is also a good source of targeted and unique traffic. - Felix Albutra
      • Andrew says:
        Yes you are right, Harsh but I came across you in Darren's forum first, I believe...but Facebook made us 'connect'! Andrew
        • Harsh Agrawal says:
          True.. We never interacted on Dareen's forum but yes we saw each other often.. Real thing started after guest post :)
    • Felix Albutra says:
      Forum is also a good choice of finding like minded people and make a connection with them. Thanks for the comment Andrew. - Felix Albutra
  21. Aminul Islam Sajib says:
    Those are some of the greatest ways to find out blogger friends. I think commenting on others' blogs also help make new blogger friends. Especially if the niche of both blogs are same, it's beneficial for both.
  22. Harsh Agrawal says:
    Nice point Felix. For me the best way to find blogging friend is find the like minded bloggers in the similar niche or who share the similar interest. Such friends are very useful in long runs, because with them you can talk for long and discus lots of things...
    • Felix Albutra says:
      Thank you Harsh, My point there is finding like minded people and make friends with them and also connect each others ideas in your niche. Thanks for your comment my friend. I really appreciate it.
