Using FARK to gain visitors

FARK is a website like Digg where users submit stories of interest throughout the web. The main difference between FARK and Digg is FARK is more democratic in nature. This is because while a DIGG story can become buried by just one power user.FARK is different while its the same. I’m not sure of exactly how the stories make it to the front page, but what I do know on certain topics if one does make it to the top, then you are getting a shitload of traffic in a short amount of time. The site is growing and while not as big as Digg, the traffic you gain is a lot better about converting into revenue generating actions. I should keep this to myself, but I figured I might as well share in a No Nonsense manner. The FARK users are not as picky about stories as the Digg kids are and they are nto as picky or get their feelings hurt. Give it a try with the right topic and I won’t divulge that as I would be divulging a niche that is doing very well for me lately and I’m not planning on sharing this niche as it will be short lived, but is generating some green.
What I will divulge is that I’ve been playing with a new traffic generation technique that was just staring me in the face for months and I did not realize what I was looking at. I’m not going to let it out of the bag at the moment, but will after I spend a little more time developing the techniques, but what I will tell is it is so easy to generate thousands of real visitors to a brand new website which will convert to revenue for no investment on your part. Some of the Gurus are using this, but for the most part these techniques are getting overlooked. I will show a screen shot and will be divulging exactly how I obtained these numbers on a brand new site later on so you may want to subscribe if you are not already subscribed.
This is a domain that I registered about a year ago, but never did anything with. In January I put up a wordpress blog and made a couple of posts, but did not actively promote it as I was working on other sites. You should be able to tell by the graphic that I found my little technique in the last part of May. At first it was not monetized at all so the May traffic did not produce desired results, but I quickly fixed that and the June traffic is going to net me a little money. I’m still working on the best methods to get the most conversion out of the traffic and I have some ideas which will increase the conversion rate. Its not bad, but its also not where I would like it to be. I’m looking at some other methods and using the same techniques to push traffic to my other sites which is really starting to pay off.

Great post… one thing I noticed about fark is that it is really not politically correct and appeals more to a younger crowd… with topics like ‘boobies’ ,etc.
Thanks for the info! I have never heard of FARK before and will head over to check it out more in detail.
I thought this was a great post and am going to look into Fark, but I saw a comment by One Year Millionaire re: boobies and such so now I’m not so sure. But I will check it out for myself and hope to find it good. I like Digg but you do have to go through alot to sign up. Keep up the great post,thanks. momscashblog
