BlogUpp! to speak your language

BlogUpp! seeks to be of use to every blogger with quality content, no matter the language and the location.
Your blogs are already being related by language, in the way that Italian blogs are shared on Italians, and Portuguese ones on Portugueses.
And BlogUpp! is committed to relate blogs by common interests soon.

Now we are initiating a new promotion, and we'll give additional impressions to bloggers who will contribute to the community.
You could get more impressions for your blog, by helping the fellows speaking your language (other than English) understand how BlogUpp! can do good to them.
All you need to do is translate the text from BlogUpp! home, and send it to us by email from the main page.
Before starting, we advise you to get in touch with us, and let us know which language you intend to interpret in; it might happen that we've got a translation already.

Please bear in mind that translations done using automated translators will not be considered. And please note that we are able to reward provided you have a quality blog yourself, and use BlogUpp! service.

We thank you in advance for cooperation and look forward to hearing from you.

WordPress blogs submission

We at BlogUpp! strive for simplicity and efficiency for the community. However, there are few limits that can't be bypassed.

In case of WordPress weblog platform, to fully enable BlogUpp! assist readers in promoting the blog, it's not enough inserting just one piece of code. It requires having two codes, one of which should be entered in the CSS (style sheet), and the other one in a text widget of the blog. At www.blogupp.com there are detected automatically the blogs hosted on WordPress, and are provided those two codes ready for use, along with the directions. Below is an example of how a WordPress blog submission is treated:



Update: In case there is not possible to add the CSS part of the code, the widget is still functional by reciprocally promoting blogs. The only difference is that the mouse over feature is not available on such a blog, and the readers won't be able to see the latest articles of promoted blogs.

As soon as the restriction to customize CSS is canceled for all WordPress blogs, BlogUpp! won't hesitate to ease the submission, same as for other platforms.

RSS related directions

Some of the bloggers have got in touch with us concerning BlogUpp! not recognizing their blog's RSS. Thanks for the feedback.
That was mostly due to the fact that the blogs weren't linked properly to the RSS feeds.

Normally, blog platforms automatically include in the header of blogs the <meta> tag referring the feeds. However, still there are blogs that don't have it.
In that case readers can't subscribe to keeping updated on your posting, neither BlogUpp! could share your articles and promote your blog.

In order to sort that out, for those that are to face this issue, please consider including the following line in the <header> of blog's html:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS TITLE" href="http://www.blog_address.com/rss_file_name.xml" />
changing in it title and href attributes to the actual ones.

A simple way to check whether it was done correctly, is just to open you weblog in your web browser, and see if the RSS icon is enabled, meaning that it has detected your feeds.

Please note as well that empty RSS titles prevent BlogUpp! from building a blog's snapshot. If that is your case, please consider adjusting them before submitting.

Additional information on what RSS is, can also be found here

BlogUpp! launch press-release

Dear Blogger,

We are happy to share with you the news of BlogUpp! public launch. Please check below the press-release related to the roll out of the service that we are proud to present to you.

BlogUpp! - the easiest way to get readers and traffic for quality blogs

BlogUpp! introduces an improved service aimed to drive traffic and discover new connections for bloggers with quality content, the easiest and more efficiently. It has the best of any link exchange or banner exchange service, and more. BlogUpp! operates with the highest in the industry exchange ratio of 10:9. There is no signup, no account, and no other data required, except the link to the blog. BlogUpp! generates in return a short code, for the blogger just to copy and paste into its blog once, and which will result in driving traffic to it for good. WordPress platform and alike are supported as well.

BlogUpp! doesn't require the blogger to submit an ad either, as it automatically takes a snapshot of the blog, and shares it on others using the service from http://www.blogupp.com. Each blog's snapshot is accompanied by the most recent article, which BlogUpp! gets by reading blog's RSS regularly. In this way the blogger enriches its blog content, and the readers are provided with diversified and interactive information. At the same time this method ensures there are no animation and annoying ads displayed to the readers.

As the community of blogs with BlogUpp! service gets bigger, the bloggers will get interconnected through common interests. BlogUpp's method for scanning the content of blogs and its smart technique will enable interaction between bloggers with similar topics and quality content, without requiring a weblog category being specified.

Although every blogger is invited to benefit from BlogUpp! service, each submitted blog passes an approval step, in order to ensure only those with quality content are added. There are not accepted adult, gambling, and illegal or inappropriate content websites, which aims to make BlogUpp! a family friendly service with quality content. The approval doesn't require additional action from the blogger though. As indicator of the approval status is the color of a specific element in the banner.

Every approved blog gets bonus impressions from the start. BlogUpp! has a democratic method of displaying impressions, so that even blogs with very few readers get fair visibility on other blogs. The more blogs one shows, the bigger the number of credit impressions it gets. However that doesn't have to encourage cheating, aimed to artificially increasing the number of blog views by constantly refreshing it. BlogUpp! handles such attempts appropriately, so that to value blog's readers, and not displayed impressions as such.

Even though no account is required with BlogUpp!, that doesn’t mean the bloggers can't benefit from monitoring their stats. Those willing to use this feature will get it just by following-up an easy procedure. Advanced bloggers could also use stats analytic services that are already available with their weblogs. BlogUpp! seeks to be referred as a simple, efficient and honest community service.

The reliability and scalability of BlogUpp! are supported by Amazon services, which aims to maximize the availability and efficiency of the service for anyone, and at any time.

Previously used methods for adding visibility to a blog consisted mostly in building textual static blogrolls. That implies firstly getting to know of a weblog and only after that a link is to be established manually, by crawling the HTML for each update. With BlogUpp! the bloggers have the possibility to discover new connections effortlessly, in an interactive, automated and extremely simplified way.

With a one-time inserted code into the weblog, the blogger gets to be known by other fellows who share common interests, obtains a boost in the traffic, along with a vivid, fluent and evolved blogroll. In this particular manner each blogger increases its chances for the blog to be shown to a wider audience, with no complexity at all.

All the bloggers are invited to take advantage of BlogUpp! service, which makes it easier than ever getting the bloggers interconnected. Readers and traffic are the true currency for the weblogs, and BlogUpp! can give it cost free to every blogger with quality content.
