There is such a community

Have you heard of iContact? No? Ok, I didn't either but now I have. iContact is a leading email marketing company with hundreds of thousands of worldwide users. If you'd like you could check them out at www.icontact.com. However, I am here to talk about their newest feature, the iContact Community.

iContact Community is a forum where visitors get to openly discuss, rank and comment on email newsletters. Visitors will get to vote for and comment on their favourite content amongst the many categories that are found in the community. By participating, email marketeers are given the chance to create a public profile, publicly archive their newsletters and blog posts, tag and categorize their newsletters and blog posts, get their content indexed in Google, participate in discussions with subscribers, and easily grow their opt-in lists.

Let me reiterate, all community content as well as community profile will get indexed by Google and other top search engines. This simply means one thing – an increase in visitors and subscribers. What's more, all top ranked content of each category gets to appear on the iContact Community homepage. This again is another plus for the publishers who have worked hard on their blogs or newsletters.
