Is the Digg Party Over? Chop Wood, Carry Water

[after 5 burials in a row…]

chowyunfatND: just give up on digg

chowyunfatND: write your alternative traffic building plan, and you will feel better

badassSEOfriend: fuck that…

badassSEOfriend: digg was the alt plan

badassSEOfriend: i dont want to grind shit out anymore

chowyunfatND: its the path of purification

chowyunfatND: Chop wood, carry water

It’s back to the grind, kids… if you’re feeling depressed from the hostility lately, walk away from Digg for a month: try playing with the niche social media sites or old fashioned linkbaiting hooks instead. Meanwhile figure out how to tweak placement of the signup box to double your newsletter subscription rate, so a third party won’t have the power to depress you so much. Defensible webmasters weather any storm! ;-)

It’s been nasty and utterly depressing. To this day, with my remaining linkbait client, I have finished 3 articles in 3 calendars months instead of 18. The pressure, self-induced, is to come up with something “worthwhile”, which in this I cannot do unless I’m the regular daily blogger. I’m not, and the linkbait ideas are 80% finished and sitting in a pile. That’s as far as I’m getting.

And now i have two other clients who want some bait, which I’m not sure how to cut anymore :P
