This post is not based on what I have listen or what I have seen on others site or forums. This is my personal opinion based on my own experience.

I am big fan of Cricket (BIggest sports in India) and for that reason I have 80% sites related to cricket. I wanted that I must a make site which has its own identity rather then making it a site behind the screen. It should be on the screen only. I tried to analyze the content of other sites and found that no sites are related to bookmarking of cricket articles. Although I found some where you may find Cricket Bookmarking but they were mixed with other content.  So, I decided to launch www.CricketGod.in and in the early I stage I was getting a very few traffic. I worked hard to submit the news from other cricket sites and reached total of 15,000+ articles in the cricketgod.in. At last I am getting success. Traffic is increasing at stable rate which I wanted.

I am not behind to get huge traffic at once then lost identity, rather then that I wanted to have site which grows with time and establish in the niche.

So what I wanted from visitors that, they should first of choose a target market for their website. Example, If you a fan of Rugby, then you should analyze what type of sites are available on this niche. Suppose, if, there is no site for bookmarking of Rugby then you can open (for e.g. rugbydig.com) and try to submit articles to your own site from others site. Remember, you need to submit yourself most of articles at the first instance. Also, remember that you have no article not related with your site objective. This is very important. Also spammers will submit lot of unwanted sites through computer bots, so keep eye on them.

If you try by hard without thinking on Adsense or Adbrite earnings then you will get success, this is what I learnt from Internet.

Yahoo! Buzz is web 2.0 Social Bookmarking site somewhat similar to digg and pligg. What make it great is it’s design and quality of links in that. If we think genue then Yahoo! Buzz could be on top in a very short time. Yahoo! Buzz has good potential to be on top. From SEO point of view this could be boost in the visitor graphs.

Initially it was just open for some webmaster who were approved by the Yahoo! Buzz team. So, not all were able to utilize the buzz’s capacity. What would make its future interesting is whether they will be able to tackle spam or not, will they manage to provide quality news links or not. We have wait and watch.

So, if you are webmaster or if you like digging or bookmarking some special pages then Yahoo Buzz is waiting for you.
