Hi Karen! As long as no one’s overdoing, self submissions are not an issue for most users. When that’s all you do, well, it gets tricky

Hi Cathy!

I currently use bloglines to monitor all the blogs I read. They have no alerts, but I don’t think that would really work for me as there are about 150 blogs in my reader, most of them updated daily

Great tips – What I have done is fallen in love with google reader. I get alerts hourly as to the new posts that have just come online. This allows me to stay up to speed and comment and support my fellow bloggers. I have learned very quick this is a tight community and that mutual respect and support goes along way. I am pretty new to this and am learning more every day. I appreciate your insight and look forward to more of it.

Cheers

Alina, great advice as always. I use social media to market my content. I have my blog feed on Facebook, Twitter, FriendFeed and others. I am also signed up on social bookmarking sites and do my best to promote others and participate in community. I don’t mind when others submit their own site to bookmarking sites but agree it should be sparingly.

Hi Hendry! Yes, concentrating on a few is the key. Otherwise you end up having profiles on all of them and no real results. Targeted traffic is also harder to achieve with social media, but some sites send valuable traffic in certain circumstances. Getting it all right is a bit difficult and that’s both the pain and fun of it

Well, I’m am guilty too but I try to submit more content from other web sites.

With so many social media sites appear on a daily basis, it is important to choose only a few and focus on that.

Looking for which one is going to bring you potential targeted traffic can be hard though… not to mention the optimization, content creation and other things as well.

Hi Adrian, welcome to WOBM. I am not completely innocent either. And you’d be surprised, but some major social players aren’t either. It’s a gray zone for me

Glad you’ve enjoyed the tips, hope they help you!

Even if I agree with the ideea of not sumiting your own content to social networking site, since it is like spaming on forums or any other place where you can put your links, I do find myself in this category (hope not for long) . Anyway, good tips on how to make your social presence known.
