Just started a Pligg based news site. Wanted to see how quick and easy it would be to install. Check it out and tell me what you think? http://colorcave.com Also Feel free to post an article. Do you think a site like this can survive and get traffic as well? Anyone experienced with these type of sites? Thought I would give it a whirl.
Looks good, promote it through forums, SN sites and try to target the people who are looking for digg alternative.
It'll survive if you constantly promote it. I wouldn't spend a great deal on advertising, but rather rely signature links and other free methods of forum promotion. I'd also suggest convincing a few bloggers to write about your site in return for a link in your footer. Best of luck.
Thanks guys. Makes sense. I was also thinking of doing adsense sharing on the site too what do you think?
Yeah absolutely. You could use it as an incentive for people to join your site. As far as I know sites (forums in particular) that have used revenue sharing will see a much higher "user-join-rate" than regular sites, so give it a go.
forget sig links..they wont do much...unless you drop 100's per day on very related blogs/forums etc. Try adverts on related sites that you are confidents the visitors will LOVE your content (which means, dont promote until your site has something GREAT to offer) G'luck
