very important point.... the income generated from this traffic is very poor because they are untargeted. Even for digg, the people are just itnerested in seeing the article, and closes the window. so probably not ideal for adsense publishers.
Thought I'd add my story to the thread--had a site posted on MetaFilter last week (I'd never even heard of it at the time). I got over 1000 visits the first night (I think it was posted in the early evening), and about 3700 visits the next day. Visits have continued to be higher than normal, although today was pretty close to pre-posting levels. In terms of revenue, mine will probably be double for May what it was in April, largely due to the posting--but before you go run and pay the $5 to register with MetaFilter and get yourself banned for spamming them, keep in mind that we're talking dollars here, not thousands of dollars (or even hundreds or tens).

I'd pay for a digg front page spot in a second if I knew someone that would do it. Even if your site gets burried in under 10min, the amount of traffic is probably worth it unless the guy charges alot for the service...
Certainly this is a very good posting and I appreciate it. This is a great help for all member, particularly for beginners.
It seems to me that Digg (etc...) should be fairly simple to cheat if you own enough domains (for registration e-mails) and can use onion routing. Or hell, you could go low-tech and use gmail addresses and anonymous proxies. I was not here; I did not say this.
Exclusive, i never have any idea about these. Let me know how many of these offer free submissions. Do they except articles, blogs, content as well...
what about answers.yahoo.com , i had few hundreds of visits from there... you put the question , you answer (of course with another account)
This is a great thread I like this concept as well but need for all of you to help me and then I can report on how well it works Put Off Work Seems the more traffic someone sends them, the more traffic they will send to link of the persons choice. Click away and lets see what happens!!!
Sem-Advance.... You lost me. Your link looks like a site to play games online. How does that generate traffic for our sites?
This is a dump question: How can I post a story on shoutwire? Please feel free to laugh at my dump question
mightyb: You motived me to do some testing. I tried with tor also. It worked, once. Then it failed a bunch of times. Then it worked again. Then it failed a lot of times. Next I tried with some anonymous proxies. It worked every time. I discovered that one of my sites had been dugg four times by other people. I "bumped" all four of those digg's with each of my fake identities. This somewhat club-fisted approach should set off a spam-filter, if one exists. Let's see what happens. I think this puts me squarely into black hat territory.
Nope, gives closer to 100k and burns 70GB if you get a main page listing (not overflow pages) and will crash a shared hosting account in short order
I wonder if cheating digg is actually legal? When i did some testing with proxies some votes got retracted a few minutes after making the vote. I guess its just a matter of finding enough quality proxies. A also had a go at web based proxies such as this one solidwebproxy.com but they had a problem with java script. If someone was to tweak that script then all you would need is a few dedicated IPs for like $2/month PS: I dont think you can control the exit IP with TOR...
Iv been on shouwire quite a few times. You will end up on torrentspy's front page as well if you make it. It seems like gaming news go well with shoutwire.
I was planning to submit my movie reviews to these kind of sites, to advertise my movie review site. Do these sites link to such content? Thanks, Steve
