Sites Like Digg And Fark

I'm looking for a list of sites like Digg and Fark. I've had a lot of success getting traffic from those two and I'd sure like to expand to more of them

 

No one has any?

 

What are they?

 

www.fark.com
www.digg.com

You submit links you think are cool and people vote on them.

 

Nobody?

 

aworldofhelp.com

it's like digg but it uses ratings instead of "diggs"

 

i-am-bored.com

 

I know only two which you have already mentioned.
But i smell isnare.com can play the same role.But i haven't tried it yet.

 

That's how digg works, but not fark. At fark there are only a handful of people that can approve links for the main page. Good for you for being able to get your submitted links greenlit.

Depending how newsworthy your site is, slashdot can be a good place to submit a link. Of course you have to write a mini-novel in the summary, but if you get listed there, that'll bring in the traffic.

 

Well, there's boingboing, too.

Fark has reasonable advertising rates that convert well with eye-catching copy. They were my first Ad campaign and it worked out well.

For Adsense revenue, Slashdot is a poor choice, generally. Most of their readers are blocking ads, and they are inherently less likely to click anyway. They will melt your server, though. Nowadays, if I even mention the word "slashdot" in an article on my site, my hosting provider (DreamHost) contacts me immediately to start bandwidth mitigation!

 

Yeah, I would be kinda interested in this as well... We had a customer site get Farked last week and according to Fark, 50,000 people clicked through in a two day period. This guys site was sucking down about 100GB over the course of a day and a half, when he normally sees around 10GB/month!

Too bad he did not captialize on it.

 

I had to reply to my other post myself, lol Cannot anybody answer or doesn't anybody use digg.com ?
--------------------
What are you guys submitting to sites like Digg.com ?

I submitted an url to an article I wrote, and got an email saying they only accept an url to an actual NEWS site with a News story, not an url pointing to an article on an article site...... so you have to first have an article on a real news site not an article submission site etc ? who the heck here would have that LOL

 

I'm starting a personal collection of "Bookmark Sites" like del.icio.us. I may post the list when I get done.

 

We have just started with a new site called superhyper.net.

I'm a bit of a newsjunkie and I got frustrated with slashdot (only tech news) and digg (very, very poor commenting system and also just tech news) and decided to code my own community software.

oh great. I can't add links. okay copy this then:
http://www.hypersuper.net

 

People say that Digg's commenting system is poor, but it's not too bad. It's just that nobody uses the moderation. If you're talking about the non-nested format, then on that point I have to say I don't like nested comments anyway. Reading through slashdot comments is like some winding road, and if anyone takes a detour, then that nested thread block dominates the whole thread. And have you ever switched to the Flat view at Slashdot? Man, I can't even figure out what's going on there. The comments can be totally out of order.

 

FYI FWIW: Here's my experience/data with the Slashdot effect which includes data from other sites - some of you may find that interesting.

 

new kid on the block ... http://www.shoutwire.com/

 

Heck, if one of you guys is a shoutwire dude, consider tossing in my [url="http://www.komar.org/cgi-bin/xmas_webcam]"Christmas Lights Webcam for Celiac Disease"[/url] - where else can you (from your home PC) turn 26,000 christmas lights on and off! ;-)

BTW, for those skeptics, it was 100% simulated the last 3 years ... but 100% real for 2005 as is the over $3,000 raised for Celiac Disease. Media reporting was a little more thorough this year ... ;-)

 

Site not found...

 

Chopster - please do post when you have a good list - it would be interesting to see.
