   Hello there.
   
   The BC Reality
   BC is not set up to send a flood of indiscriminate traffic to member's blog, that amounts to one hit wonders who produce a high bounce rate. BC is set up to drive targeted readers to member's blogs.
   
   If you want to learn how to network effectively by learning to use the features, and acquiring the skills with which to actively promote your blog, and forming meaningful relationships with other BC members, most particularly those with related blogs in your own niche, then IMO your are in the correct place. The Search utility and filters and can be used to find blog of interest. www.blogcatalog.com/search
   
   However, if you expect to post threads that amount to e-begging for visitors, followers and comments then IMO will benefit only if you reconsider your approach. Reading the community guidelines for forum posting in the Read Before Posting sticky thread at the head of the forum is a good start.
   
   I'll follow you - you follow me and I'll comment you - you comment me threads
   Threads of this nature violate forum posting guidelines and are subject to reporting and deletion. Every thread posted to this discussion forum must motivated by the intent to initiate a discussion. Consequently, link only and drop your link threads are not allowed.

   NO, that is exactly what I don't want. I don't want a bunch of NOTHING is my point. You said it perfectly btw. I want only serious readers. I don't want a bunch of bogus followers.

      Bogus comes with the real. You can't have your cake and eat it too. BC is a whole other ball game.

      Yay! Then the Search utility is the way to go. These are the Directory categories and tags you have assigned to your blog.
      Listed in: Career & Jobs
      Tags: work-at-home jobs at home telecommute mom jobs virtual jobs call center jos
      
      I just used one term "work at home" and these search results below will get you started on your search for related blogs. You will also want to use the other tags as search terms too.
      www.blogcatalog.com/blogsearch/work-at-home/
      www.blogcatalog.com/posts/work-at-home/
      www.blogcatalog.com/tag/work-at-home/
      www.blogcatalog.com/post-tag/work-at-home/
      
      You may also benefit from joining the group and reading the posts on the BC New Users Group Noticeboard.
      The group has been created for the purpose of posting resource threads to the group noticeboard aimed at introducing bloggers, who are new members of BC, to the basics of effective networking and blog promotion within the BC community.http://www.blogcatalog.com/group/new-blog-catalog-users/discuss
