Sick of playing the Digg game?

If you’re feeling that your social networking strategy is running fast up against a Digg or Technorati wall, try concentrating on the smaller, niche social networking sites to get more exposure, and better exposure:

Sure landing on the front page doesn’t net you as much traffic as say Digg, but this traffic is actually more valuable than any traffic Digg could ever send you! Many of the smaller Social Networking sites are specifically focused on certain niches or topics. By focusing your attention exclusively on the handful that exist in your niche your essentially picking the audience that is most likely interested in your blog. Sites like Digg are frequented by casual users that as a habit click the daily links for interesting news and not by the content. However, in these small scale social networking sites all the users are interested in that niche or topic and thus have a much higher chance of being interested in your blog. In addition these users have a much higher chance of actually bookmarking your blog and coming back another day.
