I have noticed a trend of Social Networking Zombies bloggers. As any bloggers will tell you, the most important traffic source for bloggers are undoubtedly social networking sites, such as Digg, Stumbleupon and Technoratii. Every serious bloggers would want to go on the front page of Digg and remain there for as long as possible. To be on the front page, meaning more traffic and page rank juice. To do this your stories have to be popular, and popularity is judged by the number of people that Dugg you. By competing to be on the front page of Digg, bloggers are slowly turning into “Digg-Zombies”. The Digg and other social community groups “Zombies” builds clicking communities online, usually in large forums such as Digital Point. The ways to gather huge number of clicks are to advertise your Digg or Stumbleupon exchange on the forum, the title for exchange usually go like this “Digg 1:2″, what this means is if you Digg one of my sites, then i’ll Digg two of yours. Another way of getting clicks is to collect a lot of Digg friends, as much as 30. This way you can get Dugg by all your friends at the same time. In addition to advertising for Digg or Stumble exchange and collecting friends. It is advisable to subscribe to popular 20 feeds so that you can catch the freshest news. As a result as long as such communities like Digg exist, there will be a competition between Digg-Zombies and your average Joe bloggers.

Stumble it!
