There are many different blog promotion tools and web sites out in the social world today, but I want to introduce you to a neat new tool called Zimbio.  Zimbio is a complete content management, marketing, distribution, and social news site that can really improve your traffic by sending targeted visitors to your site and supplying a lot of one-way back links to your blog.

Zimbio’s mission is to “help bloggers become an influential player in how stories are created, shaped and shared online.”  This new promotion site enables contributors to build wikizines – interactive magazines that anyone can create or edit – with coverage of current events, cultural reference points, and niche areas of interest, making it easy for people to compile the web’s most relevant and dynamic content into easily-searched topics, so readers can find and react to the full story from multiple perspectives.

“Zimbio seamlessly blends the best of traditional media, participatory journalism, and proprietary technology,” says a representative from the company.  “Stories and rich media from traditional news sources live along side blogs, commentary and opinion articles written or posted by readers’ peers in a new media platform, the wikizine — an interactive magazine that anyone can create or edit.”

Zimbio contributors actively compile personal posts and the most salient and up-to-date content from across the web into a network of wikizines. Contributors can create new wikizines in minutes, shedding light on ideas and stories not well covered by traditional outlets.

Just one more easy to use tool to help bring your blog the traffic it needs!
