This is a blog, and I'm well aware that a great number of my readers are bloggers as well; most of them authoring smaller blogs like mine. Traffic is just hard to come by until you catch a break or two. Now there is a service that's been designed to help offer that break; BloggingZoom.
At first glance, it looks like a Digg or Reddit clone. The major difference is their submission policies. Most other social bookmarking service discourage you from submitting your own content, going as far as to ban their users for doing so (try Digging this article, and you'll see what I mean). Not BloggingZoom.
BloggingZoom is built for bloggers, by bloggers, and they understand the difficulties of driving traffic to your site. With this in mind, they not only have no problem with you submitting your own content/articles, they encourage you to submit them. All of them. I'd personally recommend limiting it to your best stuff only, stuff that you'd really like to showcase. Why? The idea of social bookmarking is to build a sustainable audience. So you should put your best foot forward, not filler articles. Just my opinion though.
Another big difference between BloggingZoom and Diggesque sites is no mainstream media permitted! That really gives the 'little guys' a chance. I'm registered and ready to go, and very curious to see how successful this service is going to be. Check them out!

That's a big 10-4 home fries
Over and out, good buddy.
I've tried it, and it has sent some traffic my way. Not much but some and i even have a hot topic. But hey, I'll take whatever traffic comes my way.
Thanks Windyridge, I still have high hopes for it.
