Using Facebook, Twitter and Digg to get traffic on my blog

A few weeks ago I submitted my websites to Bing, Google and Yahoo. Whenever I search for “fun for today blogspot” you’ll find me on top of all the search results. That may look like a good thing. But, whenever i shorten my search to fun for today I drop down and you won’t find me on the first (few) pages. On Google you’ll find me, but on yahoo and Bing I can’t find the blog back. I’ll give it some more time before I start my research on this issue. 

Search Results for Fun For Today Blogspot



What I want to write about today is my mix of social media I use to generate traffic on my Blog.  I created a Facebook Fanpage, a Twitter account and a DIGG account. I figured if I want any traffic on my blog fast I’ll need social media to accelerate it. As you can see in the picture I called them all the same and also use them for the same purpose. You can imagine what I post on them to redirect the members to my Blog. But how do you get Followers on Twitter, Facebook and Digg. 

Facebook, twitter, Digg accounts for Fun For Today


Well I started googeling how I can get followers on twitter fast and free. And what happens then is that you get all kinds of crappy, crazy, funny and most of all spammy systems that promise anything between 500 and 5000 followers in a few days. And you’ll be surprised on how much effort people put in making these spammy sites. Wel after a day or so I found Twiends.com.  This site is brilliant. Let me explain to you how it works.

If you go to Twiends you have to log in with your Facebook and/or Twitter account. And then you’re ready to start. What they do is: They give you credits for every account you follow on twitter or every page you “like” on facebook. You can get credits anywhere between 1 and 10 for each follow or “like”. With the credits you earn you can pay the followers that want to follow you. It’s based on reciprocity. It works best with Twitter. Up till now i got about 2500 followers in a little less than 2 weeks. On facebook I got about 370 members on my page. You can also filter members on interests.

The effect is pretty amazing. Not yet what I’m looking for, but it’s interesting. Every time I post my bloglink on Twitter you see the amount of page views grow. Same thing for Facebook.  The last week I got an average of about 100 unique visitors daily. Which to me is impressive cause I’m just an amature trying to find out how the blogging world works.

Digg is social network I still need to focus on. But it is on my to do list. So as soon as I have more info on Digg I’ll write a post on it.

If any of you have suggestions, questions or comments on how I’m approaching my blog project please do share.

Till the next!
