How to feature your post in Nuffnang's Innit?

Many bloggers with Nuffnang's Glitterati status like to promote their blogs through Innit, Nuffnang's very own blog exchange and blog promotion site. The question frequently asked is how to fully utilize Innit to gain maximize exposure for your blog?

First we have to understand how Innit works. Once you share a post on Innit, other bloggers can Nang or Dang your post. The more nang you got, the higher the chance to get your post appears on the Featured Posts section. Featured post allows maximum exposure and people will click on it thus you gain traffic.

Exposure is the key here. There are so many bloggers posting so many different post everyday. Making yourself distinctive to maximize exposure is how you should play the Innit game.

Second, ask yourself what kind of post makes you interested to read? If you're not interested with some strangers' personal life, what makes you think they will be interested with yours? Most of the Innit users are looking forwards to how to increase their blog's traffic and earning. So try to post something about how to increase traffic, earning and how to get buffered earning.

Third, attract as many people as you can to nang your post, use the Innit chat. Study the number of nang of the featured posts, if one of the featured post only has 20 nangs, you only need 21 nangs to replace it. In a nutshell, to play the Innit game you have to get people to nang you.

Keep you post tittle brief and precise. People decide whether or not to nang you post based on your tittle. Don't have to use a very fancy title, it actually turn me off to be frank. Title should tell people what are they about to read, a snapshot of the post. If it's possible, try to keep the title  short, because once you get into Featured Posts section, people could not read the whole title. It only shows part of your title.

The most effective way to improve blog traffic - Facebook

I discovered some very effective ways to gain blog traffic. I personally use it and my traffic increases about 1000%. Even though my page isn't generating 10k traffic per day, but still it proved it is effective especially if you're blogging about something worth for readers to share, by their standards of cos, not yours. If you're blogging about your emotion and feeling, I doubt that this post can help you. 


The most valuable lesson I have learned is to utilize your social network. The biggest and most popular social network is no doubt the Facebook, founded by the legendary nerd Mark Zuckerberg.  


There are a several very useful functions on Facebook, for example the Share button, Like button, and Fan page. The best of all, they're free of charge. For small-fry blogger like me, cost is most important factor I care in choosing the methods of promoting my page. So FOC is good.


Make sure you place Like and Share buttons for every single blog post you publish. So that people who find it interesting have higher tendencies to share it on Facebook. Convenience is playing a very important role here. Readers might be reluctant to share if they have to copy the page link and share it manually, it's too troublesome. 


Second thing is the Like button. It serves more than just a tool for people to "like" your post, it's rating. When people see a high number of "like" for a particular post. They might stop to read your contents, to find out why so many people like it. Herd mentality is the key. 


The third thing is Fan page. Create a fan page for your page. When people become fans, they indirectly follow you. To certain extents, fan page has the functionality of Twitter, RSS and bookmark. When you update your fan page, they will see it. It's better than Twitter because your fans can have a platform of discussion on Facebook. The downside is that people might not login to Facebook everyday or they might miss your update on. So, the best thing is to get your readers bookmark your page. That's it, my 2 cents of opinion.
