How to Get Traffic from the top Social Media Sites
With so much great information out there, I wanted to provide a resource that allows people to understand how certain social media sites work and what are the best ways are to leverage their traffic.
With that in mind, I’ve put together this list of only the best articles which cover marketing on Youtube, Facebook, MySpace, StumbleUpon, Twitter and Digg.

7 Things I Implement in a New Blog Design
With the new focus on a future of full-time blogging, I’ve been working hard on the look of ViperChill and on the look of another blog that I will be officially launching sometime next week.
I’ve designed three websites from scratch in the last week and a half so while everything is still fresh on my mind I wanted to take a look at the types of things I include and my reasons for doing so. Hopefully, if you agree with any of them you may be able to tweak your current design to include them or keep a note of this post for a future re-design.

How ViperChill reached 500 Feed Subscribers
So, recently our feed count crossed the 500 mark and made it to 511. Whilst I don’t want to be “blowing my own trumpet” I am going to take a look at the main principles that helped us reach this target and some of the things that hindered it.
To be honest, 500 feed subscribers aren’t that much compared to some of our fellow bloggers but it is a milestone and one that I am personally proud of. It has taken 2 years to get to this point, i only believe I really started blogging in the last 10 months; we had only 40 feed subscribers when we first added the Feedburner chicklet.

How to Go from Nothing to 550,000 Social Media Visitors in One Month
We’ve had a lot of success with a particular client recently and I wanted to share that with you guys today. They wern’t exactly getting ‘nothing’ from blogs or top sites but it wasn’t anything to talk about. However, in pretty much one month of brand building and recommendations we changed all that.
In April we sent them well over 550,000 visitors from the likes of Digg, Fark, StumbleUpon and Reddit. While I can’t give the exact details, I am going to look into the steps they took based around the advice we gave them and how you can start to look at having similar success.
Need proof?

Social Media Presence of the Technorati Top 20
If you have read this blog for any length of time you will know I’m a bit of a stats geek and love researching things in quite a bit of detail. This post is no different; I decided to check if there was any correlation between the amount of mentions on 3 big social media sites compared to where a site is placed on the Technorati Top 20.
Of course, all these blogs are big and well read, but does their social presence hold any indication as to why they are so popular? Let’s find out shall we:
