I was wondering your Top 5 blog Promotion sites that you currently use to generate extra traffic to your blog now.

Currently these are my top 5 website I use to promote my blogs,

#1. www.blogcatalog.com
#2. www.mybloglog.com
#3. www.blogengage.com
#4. forums.digitalpoint.com
#5. www.bloggeries.com/forum

So what do you use and do you currently use any of the ones I'm using?

  I'm curious, how do you use Bloglines? I thought it was just an RSS reader, albeit with some kind of social component.

I use BC, but in a haphazard sort of way ... I post here a lot, and get inadverdant visitors.

I probably get more traffic though Google and other blogs than anywhere else (BC being a solid third, though). I don't really do any actual "marketing."

  I'm just saying. I never visited your profile. You visited mine and spammed me. This is apparently part of your BC strategy. I'm saying it's not mine. But by all means, move on.

  How do numbers 2 and 3 amount to promotion? Those are your blogs. Being silly again?
  
  I use BC too, but don't forget, at a minimum, to list at places like Technorati and MyBlogLog. And then there's stumbling and digging and stuff.

  www.offendedblogger.com promotes www.theoffendedamerican.com and www.theoffendedamerican.com promotes www.offendedblogger.com
  
  What is technorati, stumble and digg??

  maybe branch out a lot would be a better idea

  Tehnorati used to be *the* site where one listed ones blogs. There is no chatting or forum. You just list your blogs. If you like, you can also favorite other people's blogs. Technorati also ranks blogs with "authority." I don't see much sense in getting involved in that, but I like how Technorati lists blogs linking to mine (yes, you could do the same thing by doing a Google search for link:yourblogsURL).
  
  Stumble and Digg are sort of social bookmarking sites. You'll figure it out when you get there. If you get greedy and feel the need to trade stumbles and such, visit the most popular group here on BC: www.blogcatalog.com/group/stumble
