Send Me Your Social Media Questions
As you may recall, I postponed Monday’s Reader Question Session but promised it would be for the better. Well I plan on publishing the special edition question session today, however, I’d like to get as many questions as possible. So, please, ask away!
What would YOU like to know about social media? What do you want to know about Digg, StumbleUpon, Netscape/Propeller, Sphinn, FaceBook, etc. ? If you’ve ever wondered how to get traffic from these sources or make the most of the traffic you do get, or even where you see social media heading, now is the time to ask.
Due to time constraints and having to actually write the thing up, you’ve only got about 2 hours to ask and still have your questioned answered, so you’d better hurry! Edit: This is such an interesting topic that I’ve convinced another top Digg user to answer questions for us so those of you that didn’t get your questions in the first batch, there’s a second chance! Don’t wait though, there’s limited space!
Are they really worth it in terms of turning visitors into long term recurring income generating readers. They often come see what they want to see and leave.
What makes a site sticky for the various social sites?
How monetize social media influxes?
How do you remain commercially focused without betraying the interests of social media especially Digg and Stumble?
You pick one I can’t decide 😉
*Zane hides face in shame after getting caught up in BlogRush (BogRush?) marketing frenzy… *
It’s even worse seeing as I’m in communications… :S
Zane, those are all very good questions.
And don’t feel bad about BlogRush lol, even if this one’s a flop it didn’t cost you anything other than a bit of space on your site and maybe some time. Had it paid off, you’d be glad you spent the time so I don’t think there’s any shame in it. And really, with some changes and improvements, BlogRush could probably still be salvaged, it’s just going to take some fairly major changes IMO.
Anyway, anyone else have any social media questions? We’ve got some good ones so far and there’s probably a link in it for you!
Ben,
I have been toying with Stumbleupon trying to figure out more about their algorithm – I have gathered that the amount of Stumble traffic you get is based on # of thumbs ups, how active you are in the Stumble community, and (hurts traffic) the amount of self promotion you do – Do you have any other ideas, thoughts, or facts about how it works?
