If you have noticed, there’s a new little badge on the top left hand corner of each and every one of my articles. Well, that is the Sphinn badge.

Sphinn is a social media site which works like Digg. You found an article, information or news that you like when you are online, you submit it to Sphinn and other members there will vote or Sphinn the articles submitted. Articles with a lot of Sphinns will eventually get onto the front page of Sphinn which will get the source a lot of traffic.

Is Sphinn All Alike With Digg?

No, it is not. If you visited Digg before, you will find that there is actually no sections or categories for blogging guides, Internet marketing, search engines optimization skills and other webmasters-related articles.

Sphinn is here just for these articles. You can find thousands of articles on blogging there (with Wayne Liew Dot Com now adding to the pile), tips on how to close an Internet sale and even tips on how to get great keyword rankings in Google!

Is My Blog Suitable for Sphinn?

You will need to find the right social media for your blog. Before this, I am crazy with StumbleUpon and my love for it has never died since. I am joining Sphinn because of the large targeted traffic that I might be able to get from the site.

If your blog is Internet issues-related, it will be suitable for Sphinn. Check the site out yourself to see whether the articles you are writing will suit some of the categories there or not. If not, you should check out other social media, Sphinn is not for you.

My Blog Failed. Can I Qualify for Sphinn?

Of course you can! I am sure the administrators of Sphinn and me will be very happy to have you registering yourself to Sphinn. Register yourself a Sphinn account here and if you think I have wrote a useful blogging guide, just Sphinn my article and I will be grateful for that.

Other than Wayne Liew Dot Com, you can also Sphinn articles which are being submitted by others onto the site and articles from other blogs which are not yet Sphinned by others.

Will I Betray StumbleUpon for Sphinn?

At first glance, I still think StumbleUpon will get more traffic for a blog and as a social media user myself, StumbleUpon is a great tool which I have fun in using. Unless I get my articles onto the front page of Sphinn, I won’t get to comment much about the effect though.

Are You In for Sphinn?

Dear blog readers, I would like to invite you to join Sphinn via the Sphinn registration page. It will be great if I can see my articles are being Sphinned by you all. What you need to contribute is just a click. Of course, if my articles are bad, don’t sacrifice your social media reputation by submitting it.

Will you register yourself for Sphinn today? If you are already on Sphinn for some time, what do you have to say about it from the view of a social media user and a blogger who hopes to have your contents submitted? Meet me there via my Sphinn profile.

The first social media that I get my hands on is Digg which I don’t have an idea of how it works other than the action of submitting my contents to it, getting just one dig and the content I submitted will die off with time. I don’t enjoy it because I don’t understand why some stories can get at least 20 digs whereas the most dig I ever get is only 3.

Del.icio.us is the second social media that I joined after I was recommended to it by pelf from pelf-ism is contagious to me. I tried it out and it is at least better than Digg which don’t even have a proper category for blogging-related news. I enjoyed it for quite some time but it somehow gets really boring for me because of the plain interface.

Love on First Sight

I wandered off to another service which I find as interesting as or maybe more interesting than Del.icio.us but have a nicer layout. I found my love, StumbleUpon! When the first time I look at the service, I actually downloaded the toolbar as per the request on their site and magically, I read their help section carefully which I don’t really do every time with each service.

We Try to Understand Each Other

With a blog, what I want is traffic and StumbleUpon as a social media network need good contents and members to contribute the votes and reviews. I haven’t put any massive effort on StumbleUpon yet but I keep reading articles written by those who are eyeing my love. As time goes by, I slowly knew what we can work out as a couple. I start to use the Stumble! button on my StumbleUpon toolbar and with it, I discovered many interesting blogs and articles!

StumbleUpon Is Mine!
After one month of thorough understanding, I begin to know how I can use StumbleUpon as a network that can bring in traffic. StumbleUpon traffic are just passing traffic but if you think that it is a great source of traffic for your blog, you want to try to StumbleUpon good contents and you have great articles on your blog, you should give StumbleUpon a try. StumbleUpon toolbar won’t force a reader to move on after 30 seconds like those free traffic programs. Instead, if a stumbler feels like staying on and check out your blog thoroughly, he can do so!

I have some results to show you regarding my article, Characteristics of a Dying Blog which got stumbled. My traffic rose 124% on that particular day I posted the article and the day after, my traffic stays at 20% above the previous traffic before my articles got stumbled. Just imagine your contents are good enough to be stumbled by your readers and being voted by others, your site will get a windfall of traffic for the day!

Spread My Love Story

Due to the reason I like social media so much, I have decided to give them a more obvious place in my blog which is at the bottom of my posts. Spread this love story out please and if you haven’t sign up for any social media, you can try out StumbleUpon which I think is the best around, especially their toolbar.

Which social media are you with and how do you use them to market your blog? What do you think about StumbleUpon? Share with me your love story with them here.
