From the blog getting out of debt.

Creating content that is viral is a great way to increase your exposure on the net. One excellent tool used by bloggers for viral linking is the Meme. It was used heavily when I first entered the blogosphere in 2005. Some Memes have been successful in increasing Technorati authority, such as the one spread by DoshDosh. Haven’t had the opportunity to participate in any Memes? Don’t know why you should participate in a Meme? Continue reading to learn about some of the benefits.

Memes are a great way for bloggers to accomplish several things.
1. It’s a great way to find new interesting blogs.
2. It’s a simple way to increase your backlinks.
3. Memes can increase your traffic.
4. They can help in your branding efforts.
5. One may even make some money from the added traffic.

Stephanie from Stop the Ride (a debt reduction blogger and creator of the Make it From Scratch blog carnival) has tagged me. I haven’t participated in one of these in a very long time. I thought it would be a great way to involve the readers of this blog. I welcome everyone to participate, even if I don’t tag you. I can only tag 5 people, so I encourage everyone to copy and paste the Meme and participate even if you weren’t tagged.

*Start Copying Here*

I have randomly selected 5 of you below to be tagged and I hope that you will similarly publish this post in your blog. You will have to tag 5 other bloggers and just keep adding on to the list. (Do not replace, just keep on adding! Yes we hope it will be a long list!)

It’s real easy!

Tag others and see your Technorati Authority increase exponentially!

The benefits of Viral Linking:
- One of the fastest ways to see your technorati authority explode!
- Increase your Google PageRank fast
- Attract large volume of new traffic to your site

StumbleUpon a lot of traffic

If you haven’t tried out the social network StumbleUpon, I would highly recommend it. Last month one of the sites that I manage had over 15,000 unique visitors from StumbleUpon. Have you heard of the “Digg” effect? You know, when you get so much traffic that it brings down your server? Well, our server went down twice and we received 6500 uniques in one morning. It probably won’t be too long before people start referring to the “Stumble” effect.

Unlike a number of social sites like Digg, Reddit etc. where your chances of ever breaking into the first page are slim to none, on StumbleUpon every site has a fighting chance. The community is also set up way better than most social sites, allowing users to blog, post images and Stumble other user’s “blogs”.

You’ll need to download and install the StumbleUpon toolbar to enjoy the full features, but it’s definitely worth it. I have found that I am using the StumbleUpon toolbar almost as much as the Google toolbar… Well, maybe not that much. Stumbling lets you browse through sites that people have ranked instead of what an algorithm says is important. It’s the most refreshing service/site that I’ve experienced on the internet in a long time.
