You reiterated a point brought up in one of Napoleon Hill's books. Napoleon Hill stated that making money requires that you first serve others. By helping others generate more traffic you will eventually help yourself, however, you cannot do it solely to help yourself or you will be seen ad insincere. Great post!

People might catch on to how you're promoting yourself. If you push something too much, people will resist. Have you heard of Adoptic? I've found it useful for choosing what "posts" from other bloggers gets on your blog. Well, best of luck with everything you do. Take care. Brian Darren,

After thinking about what while I am creating the page, I thought to make it in a different domain name, so it was a mix between a community and blog directory! I also Dugg and Mixx all posts, so.. reader started to follow me through Twitter and gain more friends as well. But after reading your post, the picture is more clear to me, I will play more and lets see what will happen. Thanks, Allow me to link to your posts!!

You have to give back more than you expect to get. How can any blogger expect others to post their links for them if they are unwilling to post others? If you have a good article I post it right away to my social marketing group on Searchles. In fact I am going to do that with an article that linked to yours that I found this post thru. Hey, Darren, you just made the front page if Digg, you don't need the help. But because the site that linked to yours can use the help I am am going to bookmark him up. Now because he linked to your site, you are going to get just as much traffic out of the deal. The Google slapdown is coming and it usually comes just before Christmas. Google changes the algorithm to slapdown what everybody has been doing to spam the Google index. Sites that have been doing nothing but submitting their own content to get traffic on social bookmarking sites are going down the drain hard. If you change you ways now you may have a chance to avoid it. Keep submitting your own content to Digg and shouting your own links to get Diggs is going to really hurt you very soon. Not you Darren, LOL. Don't believe me, read this, I wrote this case study 3 months ago, but no one listened. http://www.keywebdata.com/?p=79 Right after I published this article Digg deleted all my posts and accused KeyWebData of spam. Thanks Digg! Social marketing is about being social, so go be social. Just don't write articles critical of Digg. You have just described everything I have been talking about for months Darren.

I don't recall getting much traffic from it, but I really built some great blogging relationships and even was asked to write for a reputable Comedy Magazine website (punchlinemagazine). This post will help re-focus my good old good habit. I used to be good at Stumbling and digging posts that I enjoyed on any topic – not only the ones that were in the niche I might blog about.

Not saying that's not possible, but sharing a value-adding piece with your readers irrespective of the author always yields great benefits. This was an excellent post.
