7 Surviving Rules to Promote Your Website or Blog at Sphinn.com

I’m not going to speak about how cool is Sphinn. I’m not going to persuade you to join it. If you know this website, then you’re, probably, already joined it.

Today I’d like to share some of my experience in promoting your website or blog at Sphinn.com . First of all, these essential tips (rules) will help you to avoid the termination of your account on Sphinn. You’ll be able to improve your promotion there. And.. that’s probably it for this topic.

Rule #1

Follow the Sphinn guidelines. The main tip here is that, when you’ve just signed up, do not submit more than once per twenty-four hours. It’s essential.
My first account was terminated, because of this. Sad.. but true. If you violate this rule, don’t panic. You have the second chance.

Rule #2

Do not submit your stuff. That’s crucial one.
Of course you want it. Just like I did at the very beginning. But that’s not smart. Moreover, there is no future for that method as well.

Rule #3

Submit others’ stuff. But keep the appropriate measure of it. As your first 7 days let you submit only 7 things, think better. You’re about to make your face on Sphinn. There are good moderators, that whether like you, or not. So be attentive.
Here’s my little example. As my first account was terminated (I’ve submitted more than once per day in the very beginning), I’ve registered another one. Then I’ve submitted my post about RSS directories, which is not bad at all. And guess what.. it was discarded by a moderator for the following reason:
“User was killspammed once, discarding this post, looks to be of little value.”
Wake me up! What was that? Did he remember me or what? Anyways, that’s why I recommend you to follow the rules.

Rule #4

Check the presense of your submission on Sphinn using search. If you duplicate someone’s topic, you have a good chance to be banned for spamming :).

Rule #5

Manage your profile. That’s your weapon. Use it on max. Take some time to get all of your links to your other profiles.
Pick the best photo of you or your website/blog.
Use the feature, that will show your RSS feed. I really think, that this is why you shouldn’t submit your own articles or posts at all. Because, if someone cares about your work, then he or she should discover it by himself or herself.

Rule #6

Comment as much as you can. Since this is the most efficient way to make people care. One by one they’ll start wondering who you are. And you’ll get what you’ve been working for. The promotion. The result.

Rule #7

Remember what is Sphinn about.

Sphinn’s niche is Internet Marketing News and Discussion Forums. Its Google pagerank is 6 and Alexa ranking is 5,926 now.
What’s the most important for your promotion is that Sphinn has no “nofollow” attribute on links. What means “nofollow”?

That’s it for this time. Enjoy your sphinning and meet me there as well :) – iWoodpecker on Sphinn.
