Have you ever felt like just kicking yourself in the tale over things you've done... Or more to the point... The things you "Didn't Do" !?! I've had a chance to use "Reddit" for a very long time now... I actually had it on one of my "To Do" lists, but sometimes you get so caught up in all the things you want to do, some of those things you need to do just never get done.
I used Reddit for the first time just to see if I could see a measurable increase in traffic to one of my articles "The Tale of Two Trees" that I wrote a couple of weeks ago but just never received the traffic I had hoped it would. Believe it or not, Reddit increased my traffic to this article 5 times what I had received in the previous two weeks, and it only took 10 hours !!! Although I am very happy for the increase in traffic, I am also sitting around kicking myself in the tale for not using this asset sooner...
If you have any similar tales of "self destructive" behavior for not doing all you could to promote your articles, I would love to hear about them...
I guess many here would see it as self-destructive that I don't socially bookmark anything I write here at all.
I use reddit also. I do get initial traffic after sharing there. Usually drops off, but have had a few that come back on certain hubs.
As other social bookmarking sites, reddit users almost never click on ads. Waste of effort in that sense. Yet you get some backlinks until you overdo it and get banned for spamming
I've just been trying to increase my traffic stats on all levels... I write for several different sites that pay me for my page views, so the more traffic I can create the more profit I make. I have enough material to post a different link a day for the next year because I am constantly publishing on one site or another 7 days a week !!! I was just impressed at how simple the traffic was to track using HubPages Tracking system to give me the information I needed in the shortest amount of time...

This site has been suggested as a way to get traffic. I spent a few hours, which turned into 3 days, to figure out how to navigate it. It appears to be a site about links, not really content, but they get angry if you post links? What am I missing? I had to go on under 3 names, but I tried to leave...

All of my hubs have had very consistent daily traffic, some of them for weeks and months since they were first published. I have noticed no significant decreases in views at all, and that's because my incoming traffic relies on a lot more than just Google alone. My best suggestion is for all of you...

Is anybody else using Reddit as a source of traffic to your Hubs, or own websites?I have always known about Reddit but just signed up for an account, and posted a link to on of my websites. Now I am far from a marketing guru and a mediocre writer at best, but I just posted that link on Reddit about...
