Lol, great title. Nice tactis "no one" should ever use too.
Yeah? What makes you say that? They arent abusive, they dont pollute the internet, and theyre pretty damn easy, in most cases.
FTA: "Submit to digg, reddit, proppeler, newsvine, sphinn any you can find. Extra points for do-follow links. And dont just submit. Promote. Get friends to vote. Use web proxies for extra accounts. If you get 2-3 votes quickly, most places will keep you on the upcoming list for significantly longer" I dont care about the other sites, not on Sphinn, please.
@DoshDosh: The whole thing is intended to be the "non-spammy" guide, as per a request from my user. I kind of left it to the users sense of logic to pick sites that were actually relevant. Ill be sure to fix that in the article though. I like this site, I dont want it overwhelmed.
@SlightlyShadySEO Cheers... its a good article and I liked it. Just wanted to point out the Sphinn part in case some over-enthusiastic noob actually attempts to aggressively manipulate Sphinn after reading it.
Yeah, Sphinn manipulation is something Ive thought over as well. Its pretty hard to write about the stuff I tend to without1)Encouraging someone else to game sphinn(which like you, I care about. Just not so much the other social news sites)or 2)Making people think Im gaming sphinn, which I refuse to do.Although the blackhat part of me would LOVE to toy with sphinn, if for no other reason to see what protections Danny Sullivan worked into this. Curiosity killed the cat though I guess. I dont feel like risking a ban :-)
great stuff.. thanks for sharing
Whether or not I use any given technique... its good to know about as much as possible.... and this had a lot of things Id never considered.
Nice tips!! Very informative! Thanks :D
Yup, couple of things Id not considered before - its always good to know the slightly shady things. Really appreciate your writing this article. The point about commenting on the article that digg links to instead of digg itself is particularly interesting.
I think as valueable as the methods and tactics described in this post are, the potential they have to expand your thinking and inspire new ideas is twice as valuable. Nice post.
SlightlyShadySEO has written and Sphunn a ton of good articles that are excellent reads... I recommend you check out his site and Sphinn the rest of the stuff up if you enjoyed it as much as I did!cheers.
Thanks, great article. I agree with hadsomerob, its not only the post itself, but "the potential on expanding our thinking" to find new ideas. I already have a couple, will try them and ley you know.
Great collection, and your domain name is priceless... I love it!
