Here are some great ways to increase traffic to articles on sites like eHow and Factoidz.
If you are not using social networking sites like Digg, Yahoo Buzz and others to promote your Factoidz and eHow articles you are missing out. The reason for this is that Google uses the amount of other sites on the internet that link to your article as a basis for how high to rank it on search engines. It is for this reason that sites like eHow and Factoidz encourage writers to "Buzz Up" and otherwise promote articles.
If you are not shy about sharing your writing with your friends, Facebook is a great way to get more traffic to it.
Some Thoughts On Using Social Bookmarking For Factoidz and eHow Traffic
The thing about social networking sites is that they are increasingly full of "noise" from people using them to promote articles. This can be annoying to say the least for users who use the sites for organizing and sharing bookmarks. It is important that you become a community member on these sites instead of merely submitting your own articles from eHow and Factoidz.
The more unique sites you submit, the bigger following you will get from other users on sites like Delicious and Digg. The number of loyal followers you have on sites like Digg can make a difference to who reads you bookmarks and in turn buzzes them up. Bookmarks themselves are often rated by users and the higher the bookmark gets on the site, the more traffic you will see to your article.
Revenue Sharing Bookmarking Sites
If you are going to use social bookmarking to get promote your eHow and Factoidz articles you might as well use as many as you can. Join sites like Digg.com, Propeller, Mixx.com and so on. Also join the handful of sites that share revenue with users. Sites like Xomba share half of Google Adsense revenue with users.
To promote a Factioid or eHow article you would write a short article or blurb called a Xomblurb on Xomba. You stand a chance of earning from the blurb and the article itself. For a list of sites that share revenue see: Bookmarking Sites That Share Revenue
To best promote your Factoidz and eHow articles it is wise to use all of the tools you have available. Choose to be an active member of the writing sites and also the bookmarking sites where you submit the article. In this way you will find more loyal followers who will buzz up your article.
Keep your submissions fresh and from a variety of different sources other than just your articles. For example, if you see an interesting news item or cool photo, submit it to the same social bookmarking site where you submit your articles.
