I have been waiting for ourMyBlogLog Community to reach 200 members before posting and I finally noticed that we achieved that goal!

For those of you who do not know, MyBlogLog is a blogging community site which was recently purchased by Yahoo that helps bloggers connect readers.

You can see the MyBlogLog “bling” on the side of this blog showing little avatar pics of who recently came to the site. They do not show RSS readers, but its nice to see who is dropping by. Another great feature is that when browsing around sites that also have this widget, authors can see that I have been by.

From an advertising perspective I have been wondering what Yahoo will do with the pervasive MyBlogLog widgets that are now on many major sites. I believe that the distribution for the MBL widget actually outnumbers the distribution for the Yahoo contextual advertising network…although this is unverified.

If Yahoo were to allow MyBlogLog members to “opt-in” to the Yahoo Contextual network and also serve ads I think it would be a win-win for blog authors.

We eclipsed 200+ members and I invite you to join our MBL network if you have not already.
