Comments on: Is Social News and Social Bookmarking not unlike the Lord of The Flies? http://www.affiliatebestprograms.com/is-social-news-and-social-bookmarking-not-unlike-the-lord-of-the-flies/ A discussion of earning with Affiliate Programs, SEO Wordpress Blogging and General Motivational Ideas for Internet Publishers Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:58:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.2 By: Kim McKee http://www.affiliatebestprograms.com/is-social-news-and-social-bookmarking-not-unlike-the-lord-of-the-flies/#comment-14333 Kim McKee Tue, 05 Aug 2008 15:27:32 +0000 http://www.affiliatebestprograms.com/is-social-news-and-social-bookmarking-not-unlike-the-lord-of-the-flies/#comment-14333 Thanks for the feedback about Searchles. While I agree that we do have a little bit of the mentality you outline within our community of users, it really isn't what our site is all about. Our environment is designed to be more collaborative, not the same digg/reddit idea of getting your posts to the homepage game. If someone rates your post a 1 it shouldn't affect you and your point of view of the content unless you are connected to them as a friend. Everybody will see a different homepage based on who they are connected to on Searchles, so if you are connected to people that are highly active, that will impact greatly what you see. The search is also biased towards the ratings of people in your circle. While we can't really control the user ratings to any great extent, we understand that 1 ratings can be discouraging though, so we are open to suggestions about how we can make Searchles or our ratings system better. Anyone with suggestions feel free to post them here: http://www.searchles.com/misc/suggestions Thanks for the feedback about Searchles.

I have to admit that Searchles is my favorite social news site of th ebunch I mentioned here. Searchles definitely has the easiest to navigate interface and is the most original social news site (beside Mr. Wong) that I currently use. As far as the jokers who vote down (1 rating) an article, that's a relatively easy problem to remedy programmaticaly. Hi Kim, thanks for the comment.

I always do mostly for new sites. I am agree with this fact that Social News and Social Bookmarking not unlike the Lord of The Flies. Because i have tried many social bookmarking sites but they are useless. I don't know how they provide traffic. But still there is no doubt that digg & propeller are best only for long tail keywords. Both sites provide instant ranking for long tail keywords but for limited time. You cud say just for 4-5 days. While i don't think that other Social bookmarking provide any traffic. They are useless.

They also enable viewing bookmarks associated with a chosen tag, and include information about the number of users who have bookmarked them. Some social bookmarking services also draw inferences from the relationship of tags to create clusters of tags or bookmarks.

There are at least a hundred thousand stories submitted every single day, but only a few has a chance to promote to the front page. However, as of now, I think Twitter rules the social networking world. They get even more traffic than digg or reddit. To be successful with a powerful social bookmarking like digg is tough.
