Who has paid to cheat the social bookmarking sites?

This is related to the thread on social bookmarking: http://www.v7n.com/forums/marketing-...okmarking.html

Who hear has paid for Diggs, Stumbleupons, etc. If so, who would you recommend and why?

I think the thing is a lot of people that are new to seo, and marketing in general don't understand the full concept behind this, they just get told, "Hey I'm doing social bookmarking, boost your traffic today!", so what do they do?

Well they believe it someone newer to seo, desperate for traffic will buy these they probably don't under stand the whole concept about baity content yet, and how to actually achieve high end traffic in a ethical way!

A lot of people are confused when it comes to the web, so no one can really give a n00b a hard time when there trying to learn.

James,

Though I haven't paid anyone to boost my traffic using either Digg or StumbleUpon, I've enough experience to tell you that if you must boost your traffic using this method, you should go for StumbleUpon.

I've spent thousands of hours @ StumbleUpon so I can tell you how much traffic it sends your way. Subvert and Profit is a company that'll be the best solution for you IF you select this site promotion method.

Recently, Nick Gonzalez posted an article about this company over at TechCrunch. You may want to check this out.

One more thing that I'd like to add that might help anybody who is planning to use this method for website promotion:

While StumbleUpon offers a linear traffic model (that means, your site traffic will stay high for more than a week once it receives lots of reviews), you'll just be wasting your money if your content/site is not useful for others.

I've realized that StumbleUpon users are pretty strict if we talk about the quality of a web page. They won't mind clicking the wrong button if your website wastes their time.


p.s. Avoid using this method to boost your traffic/increase website visibility if you don't want to get involved in black marketing.

Subvert and Profit is one of the more annoying sites I've found. I wanted to check it out, but registering and logging in seems to be impossible.

And logging in at all seems incredibly stupid - why not just have an order form: x stumbs or diggs for x dollars for x url and a paypal form?
