news2 and smi2: experience in promoting the news networks
Or features get traffic to sotsialok.
As you may recall, recently, namely, on June 17 was a day of downloading Firefox 3. 17th June is in the morning, at 9-00 Lifehacker.com has published damning article entitled Power User's Guide to Firefox 3. The article turned into cash, and bring them votes in the 3047 Digg, 234.835 views and 256 comments. Since I subscribed to update Lifehacker, I found out about this article from the mail as much as 20 June in the morning.
The thought flashed and then went out, giving way to action: a dinner June 20, I published a translation of an article on tweaking the new Firefox3 , calling it Firefox 3: 10 tips and tricks.
The news has been added to news2 smi2 and a slightly different name: Firefox 3: 10 hacks for fine-tuning your browser. This was done deliberately, as well as a request to vote in the text of the article on the blog. As a result, the news was about the same number of votes (47 and 48 on the news2 at smi2).
In this case:
- Profile on news2 a virgin, like a second end, the authority = 0.
- Profile on smi2 quite heavy, level 7 at the time, the ability to mass distribute tips and stuff.
And yet, despite all the rumors that, say, to bury news2 news is published with their own blogs, the news is equally appreciated highly and here and there. I must say That good news will not dig.
"- What a blessed event for comparison sotsialok" - thought search robot and waited for the results.
The results were quick: the first day, but it was a Friday, it's 328 visitors on Saturday, 483.
For the week article has 1626 visitors.
It's time to figure out which one is brought up sotsialok in order to draw conclusions and do not waste your time on deliberate slag.
So, summing up the results.
Figure 1. Traffic for the week since the publication of news.
Figure 2. A wave of traffic. From Friday to Friday.
Such a picture. If you undertake to compare, for example, news2 smi2 and given the number of readers and news sources attendance themselves, it becomes clear that nothing is clear. Judge for yourself: the bottom of the picture counter Li.ru. Counter attendance smi2 more than news2, from 2 to 5 times. And the hits to the site with less in the same 5-fold despite again pumped to the profile and all that. At the same time on the news smi2 hung in the general Tope just a couple of days without any emissions and ascension, and the news it was only in a separate Tope of software, to which must still try to get to.
Figure 3. Attendance and resources news2.ru smi2.ru according Li.ru
That's it. Without going into mysticism, it is clear the proportion of news networks. And the fact that the well-known network smi2 promoted in the grand total came to almost as many people as the new social network for bloggers Which About something so he says. Let's look at all the participants of the experiment.
- news2 -368 persons;
- smi2 - 82 people;
- sloger.net - 65;
- -23;
- socialink.ru -2.
It would be possible to test the network and the latest sotsialschinu But second, if, again, I'm not mistaken, almost opened the other day, but the first I forgot to banal (the robots are not elephants to remember all that :)
If you notice, the lion's share of the traffic offered is still not news2, and news.softodrom.ru. But something tells me that the admin with softodroma found this news on the same news2. And to push yourself to the news softodrom like tells me the same "something" would be a little difficult.
Therefore, the conclusion publish news on the correct news networks in the right section, and even better, if possible, in the thematic network news, if any of your subjects. If not - it is necessary to organize the benefit of now it is not difficult.
Second. Correctly call your news.
I. .. Write on the topic of the day. This is the most important thing.
And another thing: the time - your capital. So look, that brings great results at the same time investing.
Some of these sotsialok I made a plug-in buttons bookmarkz, are displayed at the end of each post. In the end, there will remain the most needed social sphere you'll ever need.
Additions, clarifications, corrections made in the comments.
Blogobzor: Mr Rogov came up to collect on a single page from the best articles vebmasterskih Runet blogs . Incidentally, the above article there is also present.

Hopefully in the next report Chippy take a higher place than the empty :-)
July 4, 2008 at 00:57
Just in this case, Chippy was not yet known to me :)
July 4, 2008 at 00:58
Heh, nice to know that almost sloger in third place :) And if we remove the first line of Softodrom :)
And about smi2.ru and attendance - I watched, analyzed. I can not believe that they have twice stretched news2.ru ... Though of course I could be wrong. :)
July 4, 2008 at 01:00
Feels like there is no movement at all. As such attendance (over the counter) flies would not touching - a riddle
July 4, 2008 at 01:27
Counter wind the snap ...
And on slogere attendance is growing, and I think that if your ekspreiment be held a week later, we would be left behind smi2.
July 4, 2008 at 01:32
Yes, and most visitors to slogere with the banner goes to news passed 13 out of 65 visitors, which is also, in general, is essential.
July 4, 2008 at 01:37
News quickly go down, I'm sure that the lion's share of traffic taken bloggers who managed to break into the popular section.
July 4, 2008 at 01:39
Well, the news was in the top :)
July 4, 2008 at 02:00
Yes, and for 11 days had gone right on to the fourth page :)
Of course slogeru have room to grow. But the goal is not to achieve any performance of cores, PR or positions in the crescent. The goal is to make interesting and useful service. And the fact that he has a large number of imitators for a small period of time suggests that the idea of necessary and useful.
July 4, 2008 at 10:06
on smi2 just not much news ... you can dig to post their jobs, for example, and not to run on a shovel
July 4, 2008 at 10:47
Similarly, only approve automatically without even reading the news. The pursuit of ratings, which get in the smi2 much easier to make robots out of men: (
And this example is indicative of the fact, the news never buried, even news2, although there are more critical to the quality of goraaazdo add news.
And - my personal feeling, the audience seems news2 mature.
I do not oppose smi2, I like their concept, and I actively use the service, but there is a feeling of "toy" :)

Good time of day. If you carry out a similar experiment again, please turn back and monrate.ru By the way, I invite you submit your site back their papers, just missing analysts.
July 4, 2008 at 14:50

Thanks for the analysis sotsialok. Just starting to learn. I'll know how to give preference to social sphere, although I think that still is some news to add links in those social sphere, from which smaller parish. The more links the better, like, properly understand the essence of progress.
July 17th, 2008 at 22:53
2 Richman: all right, the more links the better. If the social sphere is suitable for the subject, generally good.
