Check out Aaron’s post about the contest, to find out what you can do to help make PersonalDevleopmentPartners.com a success and potentially win an ipod or some other cool stuff.

What can You do on PDP?

Currently, they are haveing a special membership discount where the Premium membership is currently being offered at a 50% discount for the membership drive that is being undergone during the first month.

Traffic, Who Needs More Traffic?

Wow, I just read Steven of VandelayDesign.com’s post How to Set Up a Domino Effect of Traffic were Stephen shares his method of generating a huge amount of traffic using a combination of Social Media sites.

In short, after Steven writes a post that is written for his Web Design niche, he then submits the post to several web design niche social media sites, which he calls second tier social media sites. He then receives a couple hundred visitors from the second tier sites. The visitors from the second tier sites then submit the post to the big three Digg, Stumbleupon, and Del.icio.us.

Of course there is quite a bit more to it than what I have written here, and Steven goes into pretty good detail about this method which he has used on three separate occasions. The most being 34,000 visitors to his post 77 Resources to Simplify Your Life as a Web Designer. 34,000 visitors…wow.

Three key ideas I got from his post:

1. Write a sweet piece of Linkbait for your niche.
2. Submit the linkbait post to some social sites in your niche.
3. Optimize your posts for the three large Social networks, by making it easy for your visitors to submit to them.

Stop by and read Steven’s post, and let me know what you think. Hmm, I think I need to come up with some some SEO link bait to submit to Sphinn.
