The Mark Dykeman Web Niche

So, in addition to the writing I’m doing, I’m also trying to promote some of that same writing through the Internet.  Social bookmarking is a way for people to share links and tags (or key words within your posts) and thus bring more traffic to their websites or blogs.

To date I’ve tried:

• Reddit
• Shoutwire
• Digg
• Netscape

 Reddit was never very successful for yours truly, but I think that my content didn’t fit their site.  Shoutwire was better, but in the end I think there was, once again,  a bit of a mismatch between my content and the stuff they are used to seeing.

 I’m currently focusing on Digg and I’m trying to build up some contacts there. It’s starting to work a bit, I think, but like anything it takes time and effort.

I’m also going to work gradually on Netscape’s social bookmarking site as well. It seems a bit more general and it might be the best resource for my writing.

It’s fun to learn about this stuff.

Maybe I’ll even learn about search engine optimization someday.
