WP Scoop - All stories related to WordPress
Blogger Den - It's Digg but for Bloggers, great place!
Sphinn
Search Engine Journal's Web 2.0 site for submitting search engine related content. I do not feal with them anymore or read their site simply because after submitting several quality pieces of content, some my own and some from other bloggers, they rejected each one. To me their a clik of the "big bloggers" and what they select to publish makes little sense, since a lot of the stuff is pretty mediocre, so I think their site is a waste of time, and stuck up, but I would be remiss to not list them here.

What do you think? If you know of any good social sites for IM content that I missed please let me know in comments or by contacting me.
Great post, some great sites in the list, one I tend to use is blogger, only because it can be used for commercial use, unlike wordpress.
@ SEO,
Yes, Blogger is a better option than WordPress
Are you referring only to the free hosting?
Because I much more prefer WordPress as a platform for domain hosting. It has so many plugins and is so easy to “skin” that I haven’t even given Blogger a chance. (I have a subdomain at blogger, however)

@ Mid Mo
Yes the comment refers to free hosting options, and WordPress vs. Blogger, Blogger wins hands down. Of course, I think it’s always best to host your own sites with WordPress platform, as opposed to using free platforms, like Blogger.
Did not know about IM Answers thanks for sharing. Interesting list!

Squidoo is a great site for your content. There is a large community to bounce that content off of as well as get quick traffic to your site. I have see more and more about the MMO social network. I will have to check that out. Thanks for the list

@ Jonathan
You are welcome, I love Squidoo, great for promoting your sites and can make you some cash with all kinds of promotions and affiliate marketing.
Is there even a reason to use Hubpages?
Their links are nofollow, and the pages I made are great but don’t show up in Google results. (Even after I built links to them)
I just took them out of my bookmarks because they aren’t worth the time. Squidoo is much better, IMO.

@ Mid Mo
Well the link value is not that great, but they do usually rank very well in SERPS, sometimes better that Squids and the internal traffic is very high so you can get exposure to like minded readers, especially for MMO and IM content. As far as ranking it can depend on the competitiveness of the keywords you are using, and that maybe why the are not ranking, usually low competition KW work best for both Squids and Hubs.

Nice sweets, a couple I hadn;t even seen before.
It might be worth noting, MyBlogLog may be shutting down, and I read today that Blog Engage is now invitation only.
.-= Dennis Edell´s last blog ..Welcome Aboard Part 2! All The Info You’ve Been Waiting For… =-.
@ Dennis
Not heard that about BlogLog. Wow BlogEngage sure is by invite only, but it is easy to get one, just went over and checked it out, will edit my post to reflect that, thanks D!
Yep, that was announced a few weeks back. Yahoo has had enough of MyBlogLog and it will be dying soon…
@ Ari
Wow, that’s gonna be the death of an old time classic.

MBL – yea well, I guess one could easily say, yep that’s yahoo.
I just read about it a week or two ago, apparently they’ve been bouncing the idea for months….not a money maker or something.

By the way one of the ways to get an invite is to ask a member for one, so if you need one Dennis let me know.

These are amazing bunch of sites i found here.I am following these sites and these are very much helpful to me.Thanks a lot for sharing
Thank you so much for this post. Part of the problem with building a presence on the web is knowing which sites are relative to your market. Although I was aware of Squidoo, Hubpages, Facebook and a few of the others you definitely added some real value to the mix in the form of additional sites that focus on internet marketing, blogging etc.
Great Stuff!
@ Brett
Thanks and welcome to the blog!
I’ve been making a good living from internet marketing for almost 2 years. If you know what are doing, you can make lots of money. I highly recommend building a list right away and then writing articles. Set up your squeeze page first and start to build relationships. That’s how you make the big bucks.
I have done a lot of work on Hub pages and Squidoo. Very helpful in SEO and SEM

Agree with Steam Showers; Squidoo has been helpful.
This is really an interesting post. Building links and working on it is the right way to start earning. With good writing skills one can earn a decent income.Also, if Search Engine Journal’s Web 2.0 site is for submitting search engine related to content, the technique is very organized and one must be willing to undergo certain type of risks involved with it.
