    Is there enough room in the market for another blog forum?

    ie a forum solely focused on blogs & blogging?

    What would it take for you to join it? Promotions, entrecard points, bonuses, advice, help, guides, cash etc etc etc....

    What would you like to see on it?

    I have registered this domain http://bl.ogfoc.us (ignore whats on the site at the moment...)

    Do you think that would work? Kinda link de.licio.us......

    Maybe there are LOT's already.

    I run Bloggeries Blog Forum

    There is also

    Authority Blogger
    The Blog Experiment
    Bloggertalk
    Bloggerforum
    Blogpremiere
    blogginghop

    Numerous others. They take a lot of work that's all I'll say and the competition is definitely "ON" to see which survive and which become spammy ghost towns.

    Either way best of luck!

    I would join if it was solely or heavily for wordpress and wasn't a forum based on how to make money from your blog.

    Also if it catered for some of what is missing in the other forums.

    If its the same forums, same info, i wouldn't join.

    Tip: When starting your own forum dont look to the other forums for ideas, otherwise you just become a duplicate of them.

    I have been checking out the competition and I am aware of your forum.

    I like it. I WANT IT! :)

    I have heard of some of the others too.

    Thanks

    Actually thats me being a bit greedy, because i like wordpress, if it catered well for wordpress as well as other blogging platforms that would still be good. :)

    Who would of thought you like wordpress ;) If you look carefully you'll notice that some of them already have a different feel to them. The goal of bloggeries is to be the DP of the blogosphere which caters to everything. It really helps if your site is already going and known and never underestimate the patience it takes to get one going. Running a ghost town isn't fun and even at 3000+ members if you don't keep active neither will your forum members and why should they?:cool:
