How To Use Redgage to Promote your Blogger Blog & Create Valuable Back-links

Emails for Small Business with Constant Contact


Using Redgage to promote your Blogger blog is a great way to increase traffic, build a network of followers, and create back-links to improve search engine optimisation. Another great thing about using Redgage is that you get paid whenever anyone visits your links!

Redgage is a social bookmarking/networking site, where members are able to upload blog posts, images, articles and - most importantly for bloggers - links to other websites or blogs. Every link posted appears on the Redgage website, and usually attracts several views in the first few minutes without any networking having been done, or friends having been made. With a large fan-base this number increases dramatically, and can generate a knock-on effect, with readers from Redgage tweeting, stumbling or digging your blog post, or sharing by other means.

Not only does Redgage help generate traffic but it can also help you in your quest to optimise your blog for search engines, by creating valuable back-links to your blog posts. Each time you post a link to a blog post on Redgage your blog becomes more visible to search engines, which will in turn drive more targeted traffic to your blog.

Redgage pays its members every time another member clicks on a link, and payment is made via a Redgage credit card, which is topped up each time the minimum payout level of $50 is reached. One of the ladies on my own Redgage friend list has earned over $500 promoting her website, and has no doubt also benefited from the increased traffic and exposure, in terms of her online sales.

The minus-point with Redgage is the time it takes to post each link: the system is fairly slow and you must add a description and tags, and choose an image from your blog post to display as a thumbnail, before you may add your link. However, for those promoting personal blogs, or with very small/young businesses, it beats paying for back-links elsewhere.

  1. sounds like patience and perserverence is required but a $500 plus earnings figure sounds worth it!
