Scanning my log files I noticed some traffic sources, other than search engines, pushing more traffic than others last week.
Telling you about my top producers should help you to get into Social Power Linking more knowing what is working rather than fumbling around trying out everything yourself.
I try them all, so I will continue reporting on what’s working so you can save some time and focus only on producers.
This site is simple. You get a toolbar button when you sign up and you can “Like” or “Dislike” any site or page you wish. You can mark up your pages, but it is also good to vote for other sites in your niche for research purposes.
This is helpful because StumbleUpon.com creates a track record of your surfing habits and you can “Stumble” to new sites and resources you’ve never seen before to keep up on your niche.
2. PlugIM.com
I’ve mentioned these guys before, but they continue to send me traffic as I post “stories” (like this post) on their Digg-style site. Everytime I post there I get trafficf and it takes literally under a minute.
I do this everytime I post.
3. MarkTD.com
Same thing as above. Both are for marketing content, but sites like this are popping up all over the place and will continue to do so over the next year. You should be able to find sites like these in your niche now or soon.
I like these kinds of sites so much I made one for the Friday Traffic Report.
If you have marketing related content, put my IMNews on your list to post to often.
It’s brand new and most categories have nothing in them, but as you can see, I am sending traffic over there and it will fill up and start generating good targeted traffic on its own very soon.
It would pay to be the first in a category!

Hi–got an email today that mentioned Social Power Linking. I had and still have only a vague idea what SPL is, so thought I’d take a look. I’ll be bookmarking this site and I’ll be back often to read the advice and the articles. Thanks, from a pre-school newbie, SAWnKansas
Stumble Upon is definitely very good but it has restricted the number of submission that you can make from a particular site. May be it is a step to protect the site from spammers but this also affects the people submitting their blogs.
I have not tried other sites but will do in future.
