Redgage Review

I'm not much of a social networker. I wish I were, my life as a writer would be easier and more profitable if I had that social gift. Redgage is making it easier for me to get into the networking trend.

I've have been reading about Redgage for a long time, a couple of years actually. I signed up months ago and still didn't really do anything there. It took a long time for me to decide to give it a try.

The first thing I discovered when I finally posted, even though the site kind be kind of glitchy, it's fun. I started posting links to my blog posts and articles, and quickly moved into adding photos.

Rating other's work is also kind of fun, though optional. I have never given anyone less than a  five star rating, but then, only if they deserve it. If they don't deserve five stars, I just go on to the next photo, link, or blog post. (I operate on the "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything" theory when it comes to Redgage ratings.)

I only have a couple hundred "friends" there compared to my 500+ Twitter friends, but they are great and actually pop in to leave comments and ratings on my posts while I rarely hear any real communication from my Twitter friends. (I do the same for them - aside from it being fun, it's just the polite thing to do.)

It's even kind of fun watching the pennies add up in my Redgage account. Does it pay anything like "real work"? No, but someday I'll reach payout and buy myself something special - for $25 or less.

Another thing I notice, when I run my sites through the backlink checker tool, I have a lot more backlinks than I had before I started posting links to my blog posts on Redgage.

Finally, I have also noticed increased traffic to my sites and my articles coming from Redgage. I have to say I recommend Redgage as a blog promotion tool, and a social networking opportunity, though, if you are looking at it for the money, it's probably going to take a long while to earn any.
