I’ve noticed roughly a 20% increase in traffic when I publish to the below sites after each post.

I visit each of the below sites and “Submit” my article after my daily update. The simple step takes only minutes with this setup: I write a text file with the post location (URL), description and title. Then I visit each of the below sites and “copy & paste” what is needed by the publisher.

Publishing to these sites results in:

• Quality link back by post title
• Readers at each site end up at your site reading everything
• There is a possibility that one article can go viral and create a mass of visitors
• Repeated posting create excellent search engine exposure

These are the sites that I immediately publish to following my posts at Rich Sage: 

Reddit has the easiest interface –Just enter the URL and a title and you’re ready to publish. Reddit will do the rest as it “bumps” more popular posts to the top of its index.

Sphinn is a new service that focus on many SEO content. I tend to publish just about all the articles and posts that I update. It takes about two minutes to “Sphinn” things.

Lastly, Digg is the largest of them all.  It is more technical oriented in the content, but I make sure to publish as many of my posting as I can at Digg.

I am sure there will be an ever-increasing number of sites, distribution systems, and web 2.0 type operations that do pretty much the same.  However, at some point one has to draw the line and make a determination regarding the amount of time spent and the reward (number of visitors) that are drawn to the web site.

In my case, as long as the process takes around five to ten minutes, I am open to the idea.  There is no way that I’ll spend a half hour or hour publishing after writing.

Carpe Diem, Rich Sage
