Blogging Zoom

[BloggingZoom]

ffnstuff Was banned because he was just writing link bait post and for insulting a member. Now we would had not gone to the extreme of a ban if not for his comments on other sites basically stating that this was his intention to get banned so we help him in his quest.

"Slow Page Load" We are loading at 12.1 seconds Digg was loading today at 14.8 seconds. Now the reason our loading is so slow is a combination of two things. One we made the mistake of making a heavy graphic design. For our next redesign we will be going more minimalistic looking more at performance then looks. Second reason is quite simple. Our core code is Pligg. We have beign developing since day one and we are quite away from a core install like the two new copy cat sites that have shown up. We are using the same model Sphinn took which was to develop our own Kernel unfortunately we are quite away from development to be as quick as Sphinn but we are making great improvement in minimizing our SQL queries and in such speed will keep getting better.

Bloggeries I find it very amusing you mention cheap hosting. We have a dedicated server if we used "Cheap Hosting" because of our huge page views per day we would be canceled in one day.

Example this site. This site is hosted on a Host Gator $7.95 Baby Plan. If we used a "Cheap Plan" like this on a shared host we would be canceled in less then one hour since we usually have over 20 connections a minute and over 20k page views a day.

In order to be on a "Cheap Plan" like this site is hosted you have to have low traffic.

ghing If put in the same position again I would not handle the situation like that. There is no excuse for it. But I would like to let you know that we had spend over 5 days trying to rebuild the whole server after it was hacked working 20 hour days. Again this is not an excuse and I regret the whole incident.

Bloggeries He's not the only one!

We have over 2500 members and all I see here are two that are saying what they are saying, so I believe it does not represent the whole community.

rhyswynne Well I submitted one of my posts a while back and got 1 hit from it.

Hardly worth it I think

Well rhyswynne is the classic self centered blogger that goes into a social community and whines and cries like a baby but yet let me explain with his own user so you see why the community did not welcome him with open arms.

Mr. rhyswynne made one submission which he received 10 Zooms and had a total of 87 unique click through since day one and I have the stats to prove it. Now the question is why he did not receive anymore traffic simple look at his user and you tell me. He made the classic self centered approach he made his submission and then went on his way he did not even have the common courtesy of answering comments from other users and he did not vote for one other submission so how can you expect for a social community to support a leach.

BloggingZoom / User / rhyswynne

Maybe Mr. rhyswynne instead of whining like a little baby should read a few post on how social sites work.

bbrian017 The reason we have the rules is the reason BZ is growing the way it is growing. We do not have to do like you do voting on your own submissions to be able to get them to the front page. I read at the pligg forums how you complain on making and I will quote

" What omg what am I doing wrong? I only made 11 cents today and had over 1100 hits!Is it where my ads are placed, am I not doing something right. how come I always here these great stories of adsence revenues and I see nothing myself?"

Monetizing your Pligg Install - Pligg Forum

Son we are not an install a Pligg site and throw 20 adsense ads. Blogging Zoom is a real venture with thousands upon thousands already invested. We have a business plan and a work plan of what we want BZ to be. We did not wake up one morning and decided to download Pligg and now we have a site.

Blogging Zoom is still growing and we have had growing pains every site does but we are trying to learn from those mistakes and make the service the best out there. Our dev team is finishing the upgrades and new features which we hope to have launched in the next week or so, once we unveil all this new features we are sure that bloggers will have a much easier and enjoyable way of using Blogging Zoom.

Wish you success to all.

Vic

PS: On a side note ffnstuff I know you felt singled out. I would like to apologize if you felt this way I assure you this was nothing personal against you or your blog. We where having way to many problems with the copy paste issue.

[Bloggeries]

Thanks for the insights Vic. I have never used your site nor was I talking about it. Hopefully this place will be getting 20 connections per minute with 20K page views+ in the near future as well.

best of luck! seems there's a lot of copy cats of our sites now out there.... but I guess in the end the software was based of digg so aren't we all copy cats LOL

[bbrian017]

hmm as I sit here and read even more of your post I can tell why your site hasn't become successful, Calling people babies in a blog forum isn't really cool!

The following makes no sense? First you talk about me making votes on my own blogs and quote me saying something about adsence... are you confused? lol

Just so you know there was many sites like this, Blog Engage / Published Blogs was not a copy cat of your site! I didn't even know about your site fool!

Also what does it say about your site when blogengage already has just as many members and just as many articles added per day!

First of all this isn't the point! The blogger doesn't have to answer questions at your site! The blogger is adding the blog article there at bloggingzoon to build traffic to their blog not help you build traffic to blogginzoom! If members have a question it should be asked at the blog authors site as well! If it's not what's the point of the blogger having a blog, they should just write articles at blogginzoom!

Don't call me Son, and don't lie to all the users here at bloggeriers about your costs! #1- pllig is free, #2- your template was 115 usd adding the blog, at most was like 200 usd where is the thousands of dollars haha silly boy/child!

I have nothing else to say to you! Like I said before I wish both our sites the best luck but with your attitude I don't see blogginzoom going anywhere but nowhere... you have been zoomed

EDIT: Also I can tell your page rank is fake because you have zero page rank on your upcoming page you have zero page rank except on your homepage, what are people doing going to blogginzoom and leaving?

and again check me out!

Blog Engage (Bloggers Only)

[BloggingZoom]

hmm as I sit here and read even more of your post I can tell why your site hasn't become successful, Calling people babies in a blog forum isn't really cool!

Are you kidding LMAO!

Also what does it say about your site when blogengage already has just as many members and just as many articles added per day!

Son and yes I will keep calling you a son because only a kid would lie and think people do not know how to check a user count. No son your site only has 1000 members so no you do not have the same base. Please if you would like to have a debate lets do it with facts and not little kid lies.

Now lets see so you have the same amount of articles mmm LMAO son really again who you you think you are talking to mm remember I know Pligg LMAO lets see you have 1245 Upcoming Stories and you 990 Published Stories for a total of 2235 Submissions.

Blogging Zoom has 6755 Published Stories and 1650 Upcoming Stories for a total of 8405 Submissions.

LMAO yeah you are really close in the numbers. But wait lets see what Google says.

site:bloggingzoom.com 52,500 indexed
site:blogengage.com 15,300 indexed

Again LMAO yeah you are kicking our buts LMAO LMAO LMAO

But wait let's see what Alexa says

Blogging Zoom Alexa Ranking 90 day 15,650

Toy Engage Alexa Ranking 90 day 81,940

Yes son like you said even in Alexa you are kicking our butt! LMAO

Now son here comes the kicker Blogging Zoom runs right now at over 70% daily organic traffic if you have any clue about this business you should understand that it translates to only 30% of our daily traffic are bloggers submitting or participating in the community.

Now son this is the sad part for you. When your toy site starts getting the traffic we get you will need a dedicated heavy server for the connections now on the low end if you can manage your own server you are looking at around $145.00 a month just for the server. now you are making 11 cents day on Adsense with the 500 ads you have plastered all over your site this means that by the end of the month you will still be short $141.59 just to pay the server.

So son trust me even though it hurts your pride that Blogging Zoom is a real site you could not afford the traffic. If you had one hour of our traffic your GoDaddy shared hosting account would be canceled.

Now son just for pitty I will try to point you in the right direction since your question was not answered at the Pligg foums. You are not making any money because Bloggers do not click ads for one. Number 2 you do not have enough content in your submissions to get proper pricing so your site is showing site wide 3 cent ads. In other words son you are getting priced by adsense. Adsense is not a good fit for this type of site unless you know how to use it and clearly you do not.


Don't call me Son, and don't lie to all the users here at bloggeriers about your costs! #1- pllig is free, #2- your template was 115 usd adding the blog, at most was like 200 usd where is the thousands of dollars haha silly boy/child!

No son we did not buy the Theme Ramil was selling for 115 dollars like you did, like I said son or kid please go play with your little core Pligg site BTW I hope you like your 115 dollar theme with the other 50 that bought it "Pus hIt" Template For Sale - Limited Edition! - Pligg Forum

As for the thousands of dollars son how about if we do this next Wednesday you show up to Blogging Zoom and then we talk. Our site is being developed separately from the Pligg CVS again son we did not do what you did which was download Pligg and now you have a site. Our core has already being Devd over 40%.

Now son if you want to wipe your nose and get over the fact that you have a core Pligg install with no traffic and want to learn how to use adsense and how to make money if this is what you are looking to do you can go visit my Blog and I will gladly answer any questions you may have. Blogger Unleashed .:: Make Money Online Because You Deserve The Truth ::.

Now kid please if you want to debate I ask you to stick to facts and not fantasies that are easily proven to be lies.

EDIT: Also I can tell your page rank is fake because you have zero page rank on your upcoming page you have zero page rank except on your homepage, what are people doing going to blogginzoom and leaving?

Son you are making a fool of yourself. Anybody can go do a Data Center look up of our PR to know it is not fake.

By this last comment I now totally understand you have no idea how the internet and this business works. Only a fool or ignorant person would have made such an idiotic statement that anybody can verify easily.

[Bloggeries]

I don't claim to have telepathy but I'm clairvoyant enough to see where this is going... Everyone had a chance to say what they please so this thread is being closed before it gets ugly.

If anyone wants to continue on this topic please do it in PM.
