Some key things that i take in to consideration concerning engagement factor are: the quality of the links given, the wisdom of the advice shared, the transparent interaction between community members seen, and the promotion of the great/ vilification of the gross. Everyone is a celebrity in their own small group. How you use that celebrity is more important than being a celebrity. If it just feeds your ego and is a self-perpetuating cycle then you need to ask yourself exactly what is your central cause for being. In today's day and age of quick communication, words of your presence- good or bad- spreads quickly. It is up to you to control the image that you put forward. People ARE talking about you especially when you arent aware of it. Put forth your best intentions and there will never be an issue.
