I've been feeling rather evil today - EXTRA EVIL! I was thinking about social media marketing and similar things today and it shot my head why not we have an evil plan to get LOADS of traffic to our sites by voting on our own article? i know that there are lots of problems such as who will vote or the person on top will get the most votes, etc.. you see the plan needs to be finalized and I NEED your opinions on whether this will work or not. I need your feedback on whether this will work or not and who's in and who's not.. I will come up with a system whereby everyone will have a fair chance in getting their articles voted... This would definitely help your blogs to gain more traffic. I think it's a win-win situation.. More info on my page at michaelwoo.net Let me know what you think
It has been tried and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Announcing on a forum like DP then writing about it openly will be a sure way to get it banned before it takes off. Digg and Stumble Upon are on head hunting missions to ban any kind of exchanging of votes and many others will follow suit. The other problem is to get on the front page, you have to get the votes quickly like with in a couple of hours. Good thought but you may have shot yourself in the foot by making your intentions public.
