Get Traffic from FriendFeed

I’ve been using FriendFeed for sometime now. (I can’t track when exactly.) But it is only today that I’m planning to use it for promoting my content and, perhaps, getting more networks. According to a few well known personalities in blogging and socialmedia (I won’t be giving names but I think some of you know who the heck these people are who takes FriendFeed as the holy grail of their blog traffic), FriendFeed can give your blogs and socialmedia profiles better exposure and following hence converting to traffic, which I can’t be sure if monetizable or not. Besides the potential to promote my blogs better, I think I’m giving FriendFeed a try because it enables me to follow people and see their select online activities that they chose to share with FriendFeed, which I can look at and see if it has any use for me. Also it provides a nifty search function which enables me to search through community exchanges which Google can barely provide.

How to Generate StumbleUpon Traffic to Your Site

A lot of articles have been published over the net about StumbleUpon traffic, and all of them agree on one thing; Digg traffic is nothing compared to StumbleUpon.

StumbleUpon traffic has more potential to be converted into subscribers and more backlinks. Of course, how this traffic will react depends on how you present your content and appearance to them. The less crappy your content the more it will be appreciated, a given fact for every social media sites out there.

I think StumbleUpon presents a better platform for bloggers to market their content effectively without being too brutal about it like in Digg. I mean, if you want some good results from Digg, you have to spoon feed all your friends with requests to digg your submission before you can get it. In StumbleUpon, I think it doesn’t work too much like that. Also, SEO articles considered spam in Digg are well received and praised in StumbleUpon. To better understand what I’m talking about, we need to make a certain perspective on how StumbleUpon’s system works. After reading several resources about StumbleUpon, I came up with these:

O’ Canada..What is it About Canada? – Part 1

Good day! If you are a Filipino and you happen to be visiting this blog, it’s probably because the header caught your attention. So either you are a Filipino living in Canada or a Filipino wanting to live in Canada. But then again, you might be neither and just curious about what’s written in here….;)

Anyway, I left the Philippines in 2004. I had a nice job there. A managerial job. In terms of salary, at that time I was getting a salary that you could say was very comfortable to live by for a single person, with some “surplus.”
