A lot of people are familiar with Digg and Stumble Upon but many receive very little traffic from them as well. For example I get Dugg very little and thats ok. The thing that is important though is not quick come and go traffic but traffic thats lasting. This is the traffic we will be talking about today.

Social networks have popped up everywhere and there is a certain quality to each of them. For example, mybloglog.com offers quite a bit and heres why. After signing up at mybloglog you will find that you can leave comments to others and that they also see when you have visited their personal page or even their website. This leaves a wide open opportunity to really show some sincerity by reading another’s blog and commenting on it or just dropping by their page and leaving a comment.

Be careful that you don’t paste your own blog or website URL all over when leaving a comment. This is spamming and can be very distasteful! In effect working against you. The fact is, if you put for initiative in others work you will see it back. You visit them and they visit you. If you have something to blog or write about thats worthwhile they will comeback.

Stumbleupon can work much in the same way if you take the initiative. If your just concerned about getting stumbles or Diggs then this will just downright never help you to build your readership or make any real friends along the way. So remember if used in an honest way social networking can really work in your favor.
