The purpose of this article is to show you the biggest social websites on the net. Once you have created your content you should submit it to the relevant sites. Social media websites are one of the most powerful resources available. There are literally hundreds to choose from, and many of them have millions of users, but below I have listed four of the biggest and most powerful.

Promotional Website Number 1 = StumbleUpon

www.stumbleupon.com
Description = StumbleUpon is highly flexible. You can promote almost any type of content on StumbleUpon, and its userbase covers all ages.

WARNING: We have had hundreds of thousands of hits from StumbleUpon. However, the quality of traffic is very low. Most users flick from one site to another with the Stumble button so won’t stick around to subscribe or click your ads.

Promotional Website Number 2 = slashdot

www.slashdot.org
Description = SlashDot is a site for geek content. Anything related to the web, technology, computers, etc. If you have content related to these topics, then submit it to SlashDot and hopefully a moderator will put your content on the main page.

WARNING: We have been on the main page, and it crashed our server.

Promotional Website Number 3 = digg

www.digg.com
Description = The Big Daddy, the monster, the biggest and most powerful of them all.

WARNING: We have been on the Digg.com main page three times. It is probably best to avoid the often childish comments from users. However, many bloggers use Digg as a way of finding stories so for link building they don’t come much better than Digg.com.

Promotional Website Number 4 = prweb

www.prweb.com
Description = PRweb is a press release distributor. If you have content that is newsworthy then a press release can be hugely powerful.

WARNING: A payment may be required based on how wide the distribution is. It is also advisable to hire someone to write your press release for you.

Action points: Take five minutes and subscribe to all of the above sites. Have a play with each site and get a feel for how they work and the types of articles they prefer. These sites are your ticket to Internet riches so take the time to get to know them.
