Social News Sites Might Get a Huge Boost from 2 Softwares
Social media growth and interest is at its highest and has been growing for quite some time…even seeing huge upticks in their growth curve with some of the very top most popular sites
A lot of these website that are having the biggest surge in growth were the ones first to the space and leading the way save for Facebook which came out a few years after MySpace.
But the amazing new development in the social space is two new software programs:
You can click on those links for articles with killer training info to use them in your social media marketing campaigns for your websites.
The basic thing they provide is ability to carry your friends across multiple platforms easily. You can simply and quickly invite your social profile friends over from these sites into your own wholly owned domain. All they have to do is accept your invite and they’re in. Imagine the growth possibilities for your website…
Digg is likely to integrate Facebook Connect at any time meaning you can invite easily all your Facebook friends over into Digg.
Of course, they’ll have to accept your invite to digg and be an active user.
The power of this should be blatantly obvious.
I have over 3000 Facebook friends in my profile.
If you know anything about Digg they’ve seen massive algorithm changes and how stories reach their front page.
Getting to the front page of Digg is great for direct exposure and the power link it is and can send an absolute volcano of visitors to your website. It’s even got its own term called the “Digg effect” which happens when the hoard of digg visitors crashes your website servers.
Basically, Digg has revamped their site wanting to stop only the top 100 users from controlling the site and give everybody fairly equal chance of getting to the front page.
About four to five months ago it would take 150 to 300 Digg’s to even have a chance at getting on the home page.
Now I’ve seen some stories with as little as 76 Diggs reach the front page. And this social media news site gets over 25 million visitors each month and has over 27 million registered users in its database.
Of course, there’s no guarantee as to how active all these users are. I’m sure the 80/20 rule applies.
Making concessions for that means 5,400,000 hyper active users coming to the site every day.
Despite the fleeting nature that stories on Digg’s Main page for usually a little under two hours because of the other power users newer stories pushing them down and off the page I still talk to people who have gotten over 100,000 visitors from reaching this goal of every site user.
Now imagine how much closer you could be to the 100-150 Diggs you need for homepage status by bringing over all your Facebook friends or your Google Friends.
Chew on that for awhile.
