a) Awesome post. That's like relieving a stone from my neck (was actually contemplating building a profile or two, because no FPing with good content sucks (not good enough, maybe). b) Matt not sure how you stumbled this post, but I've just discovered it.

Absolutely spot on post. Digg is useful, StumbleUpon rules, therefore I stumbled you.

Glad I struck a nerve, although it’s great to have a bunch of mates to vote for your stuff, sites like digg have got wise to the fact making effort spent in building a network dead time.

Good content that ages well can continue to add links for years, although those with clients are probably not paid to look that far ahead.

Well put Lyndon. Great content goes a long way with the possibility of added social media effects. The other way round is far less preferable.

…besides time[+expense] of gaming social media is usually equal or greater of that of great content creation. Lifetime of gaming results is short-to-very-short. Lifetime of great contents – long to infinite.

I used to have the same argument with Nick Wilson over Blogging v SEO. Ultimately, part of writing ‘great linkbait’ is knowing influential players (bloggers, not SM mavens) who will recommend that article to their followers.

Or you could build a trustworthy platform (like cracked) which seems to get front-page on just about anything by now. Don’t know who said this on twitter (graywolf I think or maybe you), but sometimes the site url / submitter name makes a bigger difference to the success of a digg than the actual headline / content itself.

Preach it brother! Gaming the social voting system is a constant chess match that, in the end, you can never win. Remarkable content is what it’s all about!

Agree.
Anyone has a list of great content-rich linkbaits for brainflexing?
(I don’t even think ‘linkbait’ is the right term for useful content pages).

I fully agree. I have been trying to convey this concept to many people for years. “Fundamentals First” …. how can you do anything properly if the groundwork is not laid properly?
