Feedback on the way I've promoted my site

[tvizion]

My site has been around for 3 months. I've read a lot of promotional techniques type articles (though some have contradicted each other in terms of the best way to promote your site), and I've tried to use the most popular methods, these are the sites I've used to promote my site:

Digg
Propeller
Twitter
Slashdot
Connotea
Newsvine
Swik
Blinklist
Fark
Stumbleupon
Squidoo
Hupages
Zimbio
Technorati
Ezinearticles
Goarticles
Ideamarketers
Searchwarp
Articlesbase
Articledashboard

I've been promoting my site this way for the last 2 months, and from this list these are the ones that have got the best results for me: Digg, Propeller, Twitter, Hubpages, Zimbio & Ezine.

I've been thinking of stopping wasting my time on the sites that have not yielded any results so far, so I can free up my time in other ways to promote my site, but not sure what to do next.

I've also used blogs/forums of the subject matter my site is about to promote my site.

Article submission in highpage rank sites take some times to show result. But don't stop keep submitting fresh article to high PR sites.

This is not the end of to promote pr, keep it up

Use more websites if you can, these are good places to promote your site but you are promoting them to a limited audience and getting multiple links from same domains. Diversify your link portfolio some more.

I'm not sure exactly what you are saying.

There's no reason to ever stop putting your link on sites that aren't as productive, as long as they are indexed quickly and have a high PR.

Have you been bookmarking all your articles? Creating new accounts on the sites and bookmarking those as well? Or are you just building a few?

Do more, do it more often.

Promoting to those sites basically takes me most of the day. I would like to stop promoting to the ones that aren't giving me results, so I'll have more free time and find new sites to promote to and was looking for site recommendations to promote to.

I used Facebook like a year ago for one of my older sites, but I only ended up getting a couple of leads from FB. And no-one seems to use MySpace anymore to promote their site.

i woul say keep it up, some strategies show results after some time.

This is true. Often times you can get some good results from the smaller sites as well. In addition to the added exposure, some of the smaller sites offer interesting promotional techniques. Take soLinkable.com (http://solinkable.com) for instance, they are a social news site similar to Digg (only smaller) so they offer incentives to get their users to participate. By becoming one of the top 10 participants your site gets listed on the front page, similar to a "top commentators" list.

Try to promote your site in social networking sites such as Twitter, Myspace, Facebook too. Post some videos in Youtube. These things can boost your traffic.
