I’m A Digging, Sphinning Plugger who will Bump or Stir You Into the Mixx - How to Solicit My Vote
Hey, You're New Here! We love new people.
Please do us the honor of returning. You can subscribe by RSS feed, or get updates by email. We also welcome your feedback on the posted information. When filling out the form, don't forget to leave your link and your first name.
I can dig it, no pun intended. You want me to vote for your story on Digg, StumbleUpon, Sphinn, PlugIM, BumpZee, StrrdUp, Mixx, or my save on del.icio.us, Facebook, etc….
I know I said my vote isn’t for sale. But, paradox that I am, my love don’t come for free either, baby. The currency ain’t legal tender, is all. It’s respect for my time.
Just so we’re clear then, here’s my voting policy, otherwise known as the three hoops you must be willing to jump through.
1- Feel free to send me anything, once you’ve friended me. I’ll look at as many things as I have time for in the time I have alloted that day. But don’t expect or ask for an automatic vote from me.
I love you. But no, I don’t roll like that, and I don’t expect auto-voting from you either. That whole thing with me having my own mind is kinda precious to me, as is believing that any front page ranking I can garner is deserved and earned. Most of the time, I’m probably going to vote for you anyway, because we have some kind of overlapping taste or you wouldn’t be on my friends list to begin with.
2- Feel free to be ignored if you don’t pay attention to how I like things sent to me. You’re the one asking for a favor, bub.
For example, I don’t read email, the support staff does, so that’s pretty much hopeless. It’s just not my preferred mode of communication.
I prefer you send it to my Open for Web Business Facebook group if it’s not a site of yours or the homepage of your site. If it is, put the link in the spot for URLs when you comment. About once a week I share or save in popular sites and I start there. If it doesn’t fit in either, send me a private message in Facebook or where ever we’ve connected online.
3- I’m not a top user. Don’t expect miracles. Sometimes the truly influential people will see your link because of me and that’s where the magic really happens. Other than that, I’m really just another voter.
Dig? Then Dugg. You know, maybe. If I like your story.

You were my first Facebook friend. It’s very impressive to watch you work. I was wondering how in the world you have so much going on and still have time for anything else. Now I see you have mastered time management and you’re not afraid to show it. There’s a nice lesson in that short post.
Thanks for that, Brian
I was just looking at your website, and thought you would be interested in getting it ranked higher in search engines for greater exposure of your web site. I provide a search engine optimization service and I have 2 spots open for this month. Just by looking at your website I can see a lot of room for improvement.
Would you be interested in getting it ranked on top of Google for some of your major keyword phrases? A lot more people would find your listing which would increase your current client base.

Brian,
Thanks for such a lovely compliment. Time management - with a system and a plan in place, is where it’s at.
seo optimizer,
Good Lord, where do I begin. How about first, it’s absolutely lame to pictch clients in their blogs? Honey why? Secondly, we have a page that publicly and proudly boasts the top rankings we’ve had for almost 4 years at this site, which shows that you didn’t even look the site. Which means you didn’t actually look at our rankings.
A quick glance tells me that at the moment we have hundreds of number one rankings for the terms I want and memory alone tells me we have the thousands of rankings I want. So I’m a bad person to pitch anyway.
Never mind the fact that I
1- Write or have written for major SEO Publications
2- Write about SEO on this site
3- Have written hundreds of articles about SEO on and offline
Tactics like this, from unprepared unprofessional people who are obviously not qualified is what is giving SEOs a bad name. (And a blogspot blog sweetie? Come. On.) This was tragically bad form. Sad.
Especially since I don’t do straight SEO anymore and have a list of people that I refer people in need of SEO to - I wouldn’t have referred you to any of MY clients, because they are precious to me. But at least I could have paired you up with a master to learn better practices from.
