It’s My Imagination

New Online Community – Social Spark

April 26, 2008 on 7:09 am | In Blogging | Comments Off

Things have been fairly quite on this blog lately, but I’m hoping to change that. I truly enjoy blogging, in fact, some might say I am addicted to it. I like being able to write and communicate with others, even those I’ve never met. In the 9 months since I started my first blog, I’ve made so many online friends, discovered some fabulous blogs and even met one blogger in real life. It’s been a worthwhile experience and one I hope to continue.

I have joined several online communities while blogging, some I find to be worthwhile, others are sort of stagnant. I’m very excited about my latest sign up though, and that’s with SocialSpark which is not only a great community of fellow bloggers, but also a site that will help build traffic to my blog and help me monetize it.

SocialSpark is a community of bloggers who not only want to help each other, but want to earn some money in a legitimate way. SocialSpark has a code of ethics that must be followed by every member. The highlights of this code are: -100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure
-100% Transparency
-100% Real Opinions
-100% Search Engine FriendlyIn other words, if I write a post that I am being paid for, I am going to not hide that fact from my readers. My readers will be able to see that it is a sponsored post as well as see who the sponsor is. However, just because I’m being paid for a post, doesn’t mean I can’t still express my own opinion about the subject. Of course, I’m not going to write about something I don’t believe in, so my posts will be honest.The best part of SocialSpark in my opinion is the fact that each sponsored link in SocialSpark automatically carries the “no-follow” attribute so as not to affect search engine rankings. No more getting slapped around by the big search engine for earning money on by doing paid posts on my blog.

Although the community is very new to the public, SocialSpark has some terrific opportunities available now and will only grow in the future.
