Blokube Review: A Social Network for bloggers & marketers
by Daniel Snyder on Jan 8, 2011 • 7:13 am 21 CommentsAre you on Blokube yet? Blokube is a relatively new social network that has been designed to serve bloggers and internet marketers. Though social networks have been popping up all over the place in the last few years, I find myself strangely drawn to the blokube community. There are a few really good reasons for that, number one being that the content on blokube is of high quality and you don’t have to sift through pages of spam submissions.
What’s really up with Blokube?
Blokube may well be another social voting community, but it is one with potential and steady growth. It is founded by Devesh Sharma the blogger from technshare.com. Like other blogging networks Blokube also employs the voting system where members can vote up other content and help push it to the front page. Obviously the voting system is a huge motivator for bloggers as the goal is always to get your own content to the front page. Right now blokube is growing at a reasonable rate and it is a healthy sized community for discovering and being discovered.
For a site that wants to promote interaction among bloggers, Blokube is doing just that. It is easy to meet, connect with, and discuss blogging ideas, tips and opinions with other bloggers. If you’re a blogger writing quality content then you owe it to yourself to check out Blokube and submit some of your articles. I became frustrated with SERPd (another blogging community focused on marketing and SEO), when they stopped allowing bloggers to submit back to back links to their own site. Blokube does not put restrictions on your submission of content (provided you space it out a bit).
What kind of content will I find at Blokube?
Blokube content (submitted by you!) centers around the niche topics of blogging about blogging, marketing, search engine optimization, web design and development, making money online, and search engine marketing. If you’ve been blogging for a while my suggestion to you would be to register at Blokube and start by submitting some of your most successful past articles. They may be new content to the readers at blokube and as such can give your old posts a boost of new traffic.
Who can join Blokube, and how?
Any blogger or online marketer is welcome to join blokube. This is a free site, and all you need to do is register for an account. You can sign up here, Blokube.com.
This means YOU can join Blokube, and I hope you do! I will see you there. Devesh has been kind enough to offer me a role as moderator at Blokube so if you are submitting stories, be sure to let me know. I will make a point of seeking you out and helping promote your content.

Hey Daniel, I agree with you about Blokube. It’s a great place to share your content and find great blogs. I joined a few weeks ago and I’m seeing traffic in my analytics coming from Blokube. Devesh is a really talented guy.
Thanks for the awesome review!

Hey Daniel, I heard of Blokube a few days back but haven’t joined yet. There are so many communities and voting sites I learn about every day that I am not even sure where I registered till now.
You know so much more about these sites than me, how about making a list of the best sites that are voting and connecting oriented?
Thanks for another great tip.
Seeing how it is working for Ileane, I might join in next few days.

Hey Brankica, let me know when you are there. I’ll be sure to vote up your stories! I have written a post, the best (and worst) social networks for bloggers… but it is largely incomplete when it comes to listing many of the smaller networks that bloggers may still find valuable. I’ll give some thought to your post suggestion!

Hi Daniel,
I had seen this site many time, but I never took it seriously. (I joined the site 2 days ago). Now that I have seen your post about it, I am going to put a little effort – on being active-into blogkube community. Anyway, thank you for sharing the post with us !

Hi Daniel, I have not heard of Blokube yet either (until reading this article) but will definitely go see what it is all about. I was just thinking to myself today what the next “big thing” would be… maybe it is this? At the very least it sounds like a useful tool.

I do not want to be a buzz killer but I have seen many networks like blokube before and they never did helped my blogs. Nevertheless, I have checked Blokube and looks great and promising. It seems to be limited on topics. Blogging related blogs or Internet marketing related info would perform great there. I guess posting a review of any product there would not work at all. I should give a try, I have a personal blog and a business one. Thank you very much for sharing Daniel, this looks pretty promising.

Well, I certainly think it depends on how you use the network and engage with users that will demonstrate if it can make a difference for your blog. The most effective, helpful and enjoyable blogging network I’ve ever been a part of is Blog Engage… it drives traffic, I’ve won money in their contests, I’ve made friends and my articles get read and commented on (a lot!)… blokube is growing and has strong potential… but you’re right a lot of these networks come and go.

Hi Daniel.
I have seen some blogs with the little ‘Vote’ icon on them but did not really pay much attention to what it was or does.
Then today I saw this post on Twitter! I have not heard about Blokube or what it really is so thanks for sharing. I will be checking it out!
