Shetoldme.com has proven to be pretty useless for me. Anyone else feel the same?
I think it's a great site for easy and quality backlinks that stay indexed and it's easy to get a PR4 backlink from them on their homepage since a scoop only needs 2 votes to get featured. It sucks in terms of earnings though. Massive fail in that department.
While not useless, it is not the best way to go in my opinon. I have pretty much abandoned it.
Yes... a very good backlink. This is a reasonable traffic generator.
You want traffic, dont you?
I put several articles on there, but not once has shetoldme showed up on my traffic??
They are not reviewing anyone's articles anymore. I've had two in waiting for 3 months!
Mine to bill i dont know why their not approving them.
I use it only for backlinks to my Hubs. I have made $13.47 in AdSense for 2010 from shetoldme.
I don't bother - never get on the frontpage, full of rubbish and I have not earned a penny from my scoops even though Adsense is set up and I have referred a couple of people!
I prefer Xomba - even if it nofollow! At least you get traffic and earn money their plus any link is a link!
However Shetoldme probably helps a teensy wincy bit.
Snipsly is good too, but Xomba is my favorite. Already made around 6-7 dollars my first week on Xomba from bookmarks alone.
So i contacted shetoldme and asked about the queued status he said that it's queued because it doesn't have enough votes to be front page but people can still view it.
That answers my question about shetoldme, I agree with @Evan, and @ns1209 Snipsly is pretty good, and Xomba is a great site.
I've linked all of my 17 hubs, 2 of which have gotten to the front page, and another 20 random news articles, 1 of which was one front page, but in my 3 weeks of membership I don't think I've earned anything.
It's brought me something like 1% of my traffic views, but it still counts as a PR5 backlink, last time I checked, so it's doing more than just the 1% traffic it brings.
The following are free PR7 backlinks (from ryankett's article):
Delicious.com
Folkd.com
BuddyMarks.com
Spurl.com
Mylinkvault.com
I just started using Delicious and Folkd, which are linked together; you post everything on Delicious, and then go to Folkd and it'll tell you how to import all of your Delicious bookmarks instantly and conveniently, no need to copy and paste tags, URLs or descriptions. 2 instant PR7 backlinks for the work of 1. I signed up for Delicious yesterday, and so far it looks on track to get me more traffic per day than shetoldme.
I also use IMautomator, which automatically backlinks you to 15 randomly selected sites out of 47 they have on file (no overlap with above links), mostly PR1 through PR3. The site is extremely easy to use. However, most of these sites do not accept URL trackers, so the bookmarking will fail most of the time, so I just bookmark both, one with the URL tracker and one without. It's been getting me some traffic, though after 3 weeks of Hubpages membership, HP is still 90% of my traffic.
I haven't used the other ad revenue sharing sites like xomba or redgage, but they seem to be effective from the above posts. They're lower page rank, so the backlink is less effective, but you still get traffic, and also revenue.
well, shetoldme is quick and easy and I feel like it helps give my hubs better Google standing. Not sure but I feel like I'm helping myself.

Ok ive read a lot about SEO of late, but havent found much about backlinking. Everyone says its important, but they dont really say where to get your backlinks. Is it even something you can control? Last i heard...

Having spent some time backlinking today I think I have come across a great opportunity for generating more backlinks- or at least through Shetoldme if you use that site. I already have backlinks to my previous hub...

I just wondered if anyone backlinked their backlinks, like putting Shetoldme links on Reddit for example. I'm seriously running outta ideas of how to get traffic.

Shetoldme.com is a bookmarking site. As many hubbers recommend it in their hubs. I just want to know how many of you got some success with shetoldme to promote and make some money for your hub.Thank you.

I have just started to use a program for back linking, I wanted to know how effective are these programs in improving page ranking?

After reading another info packed hub from Mark Knowles I note he recommends not using the revenue sharing feature of sites such as Shetoldme and snipsly as your adsense code will leave a 'footprint' for google to see...
