Does posting your hubs on social bookmarking sites like Reddit really help your hub traffic?
Just wondering if it's worth the time to repost my hubs on sites like this. Please provide numerical figures for reference if you have them.
I haven't really found much benefit from it. I have used those sites for a few of my articles and it seems like it makes little if any difference. I don't think Google likes people doing that either.
Thanks for the insight. Have you had any luck with earnings here on HubPages? I ask because we have similar stats so I was wondering if earnings are more based on time or content.
I actually took a hiatus from writing on here for about a year and when I came back at the end of last month I discovered the Ad program and signed up. This has been my first full month with it and so far I've seen about $6. I want to grow that!
Thanks again. Make sure to let me know how it goes!
I've found an increase in traffic to some of my hubs when posting on Reddit. Just make sure you don't continuously post your hub links there, apparently you should mix it up by posting links to other websites, etc.
How much of an increase are we talking about here?
I posted 2 articles on reddit to see if it would help earlier today. No dice. One was a review of Nevada Football team though, and if it's not about a upper echelon team such as Ohio State, LSU, or Virginia Tech...they usually don't get a lot of response. The other was for Dragon Age review which is a popular game/movie series, and no response either. So, I'm not sure what to make of that site. Could be bad luck on my choice of articles, or people just don't bother to look at links.
Sounds clear enough for me. I'll spend more time writing hubs instead of promoting them!

and Snipsly. This is a Four fold question.1.) Should you really do it? I've heard that it might not be a good idea to add your ID to these pages as your link could be worth a lot less in Google's eyes if they see you've linked from one page to the other and both have the same adsense...

I just wanted to share that my hub on the 2009 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 hub is ranked on the FIRST page of google 3 times (the top 3 listings too!)- one under my Mixx posting, one under my Digg, and one under my hub posting. The way that I got all 3 up there was to write a different introduction for...

I was getting quite a bit of traffic from Stumbleupon, but the last while I notice it hasn't been accepting my submissions from Hubpages. They say that it's to prevent people from abusing the sytem and just promoting one site all the time. Does anybody know of a way around this?

I've been using a variety of social bookmarking sites to increase traffic and for the do-follow links, due to a great hub by Ryankett, thanks Ryan!! Recently though, on a few sites like Kirsty or Wagg, even after several months, my bookmarks are all marked as "submitted", but none of them...
