If you run a blog, chances are that you know by now what Digg is. This social networking website has become famous for the big number of visitors you can get to your website if your story gets as many votes as to be featured on the front page.
I’ve never had the chance to test the power of Digg, as the categories liked by most of the users there do not fit too much my topics and my way of writing. Besides, you have to make friends if you want to make it big on Digg. That’s a social networking place, and this really means networking, communicating with your peers and sharing interesting stories with them.
Nevertheless, I’ve discovered that there are many sites which allow bloggers to submit their stories and get voted by the community. Maybe they don’t bring in too much traffic, but there has to be a start in everything, and it is better to be among the first users of a social network, so you get some advantages when, or if, it gets big.
I have this proposal for you, my readers: once a week, I’ll review one of the less known such networks, where you can submit your stories and get some fame and votes.
For this week, check BlogLancer Social Networking site. It works just like Digg, but there are more categories, so even if your blog is about ants you’ll still find a place where it fits.
