Welcome to the board JF!

to make most of IB there's only one formula I know : Graze...graze and graze like good cattle!

3 Grazes will give you 3 things - blissful moments, healthy socialization and exposure to your blog!

Happy grazing... Cheers!

Jaseema Farook

Thank you Anunoy for your kind reply :) And yes,I will start grazing :) 

Cheers!

oh...I read graze as Gaze and thought you meant we should gaze and gaze at the screen while reading others' blogs furiously so that we can expect them to read ours as a reciprocal measure. Strictly quid pro quo.

Jaseema Farook

Vijay! I am just waiting for the right contest to take part,however I find that not many reply in a forum.Why is that? And thank you for sparing your time to help me out.Really appreciate it! :)

Join the Alexa review thread, pretty fun going on there and something always comes up.    

As far as contests are concerned Ambipur is happening where you can get a free sample even if you dont write.  Do take part if you can write about a perfect road trip with a four wheeler

  • Participate in contests. Contests posts on IndiVine drive good traffic to your blog.
  • Share your posts on IndiVine. ( which you are already doing ) Vote for others' posts if you like them.
  • Chat on IndiTalk ( only if you like chatting ). You will get closer to fellow bloggers.
  • Add bloggers you like to your IndiNetwork. If the other blogger also adds to his/her network, you can exchange mails. This will be useful when you want to invite bloggers for participating in any contests / giveaways on your blogs. Also, those who add you to their network will be able to see your latest indivine posts on the 'Posts from my Network' page.

Can you please tell me what are buttons and how to share them? 

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Are you talking about badges or IndiVine promote buttons? Innocent

Jaseema Farook
from Chennai |

I think Indivine promote buttons.What are they? Smile

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

I think you already know what IndiVine is - I see that you have posted some links on IndiVine.

IndiVine is a place to share links to your blog posts.

If you like someone's post, click the promote button and the vote count for that post increases.

On the home page, posts which receive the highest number of votes are featured.

The promote button is similar to the facebook like button. Wink

Jaseema Farook
from Chennai |

Oh yeah,I get it! That heart button right? I used them Smile There is also a facebook like button above the posts?

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Yes, the heart button.

The facebook like button is the same as the FB like buttons you see on other websites.
