Mixx.com has done it now. They are already a good thing in my opinion, especially when I am sitting on a PR5 profile. That means that anything I post to Mixx gets a PR5 backlink from a PR7 site. Nice huh?

What they have changed is a good thing as well in my opinion. I see the addition of communities as being the biggest bane to the other large social bookmarking sites like Digg and Propeller.

The addition of communities is going to make Mixx look huge to the search engines, and it is going to happen fast.

I have an example:

The BartTheBear community for Mixx.com was just started last month. The community should develop fast. Especially with Mixx's seeding concept, that is where Mixx is taking posts with relevant tags and categories and populating the communities automatically. This community already has 2,256 posts to it. Now multiply that with how many communities?

This is internal linking at it's best. I can easily post once to Mixx, add it to a couple of communities that I belong to personally, tag it with appropriate keywords, and the post will show up in at least a dozen places. That means 12 X # of tags and categories...I could get hundreds of backlinks to an article from one post in Mixx.com.

Brilliant!

Building a Mixx Community is very, very easy. Of course, first you have to join Mixx.com and create your own profile.

Then go to http://www.mixx.com/groups. Look to the far right of the screen and click on Create Your Niche Now!

Fill in the details, build your main categories and sub-categories, fill in the keywords at the bottom to seed your community with posts from Mixx.com, and wallah you have your community with content. Then promote the community and get some contributions. I announced this community to my group of friends in Mixx.com and got almost 40 in the BartTheBear community. I have also started one for my most successful niche in Moxie Drive Expressions, Iphone Heaven.

I am more open to having users join up in the BartTheBear community as the Iphone community content needs to be limited. There are spammers out there you know.

Anyhow, here is your opportunity to join the BartTheBear and contribute about social media, internet marketing, alternative energy, and Entertainment. They only allow 4 main categories and 4 sub-categories under each.

As this is directly linked from my PR5 Mixx profile, what do you think it is going to do?
