Probably like most of you, I run a simple and informative blog. My content is geared towards technology and computing, and usually consists of how-to's and tutorials, etc. Traffic isn't anything to brag about, I mainly just do this for fun. All of my content gets submitted to sites like Digg and Del.icio.us but usually goes unnoticed. Since the face of Digg has taken a dramatic change, great tech articles, like my own, are thrown aside, except for one every once in a while. I decided to try to take a different approach to everything. I read an article on Digg about a new social tech-site, Tweako.com. I was skeptical at first, and figured, like most of you, that it was going to be one of those “one week fads”. After poking around on there and doing some research, it turns out I am quite wrong. Despite the sites short-life, I noticed that a massive amount of their submitted articles are showing up in Google's top 10 for specific phrases and terms that apply. Although most of the search terms are rather specific, you'd be surprised how many people are searching for content this specific. I began submitting all of my articles I had written over time to the site, and being the quality that they were, most made it to the front page. This in turn generated large amounts of traffic, which I have found to be mostly human. With the help of the sites extremely targeted theme, and massive amounts of content, my articles are now being seen at the top of Google, but of course through Tweako. The site is still rather small but growing fast. The best time to take advantage of this would be now, as most good articles are almost guaranteed to make it to the front.
