High Profile Article Marketing: Part Three (Nearly) Slashdotted, The Easy Way

Here’s a little tidbit that I believe I found through Problogger, but don’t quote me.

If you don’t know what “getting Slashdotted” means, it’s a Net term used by site owners that references the experience of getting a sudden rush of traffic that makes you think your server is going to break down, or that you may use up all your allocated bandwidth in one day.

The term comes from the very specific reference to a site called slashdot.org – if they choose topublish someone’s contribution about your site? Forget about it.

You’d see traffic from this for days.

So now, the question becomes, how can you get some of that traffic for yourself? Slashdot.org does have Editors. And not just any story is getting through. You need to be right on top of the relevant news for the category, so even the technique below may take several tries before you get through.

One gentleman figured out that if you’re the Contributor and you point to Someone Else’s super discovery, then your contributor link gets slashdotted too… good thinking.

Here’s a quote:

The secret lies in submitting stories. Slashdot relies on readers to send in stories. A lot of sites work like this. If you send in the story, they’ll throw you a link in the write up. Bam, you’re on Slashdot. Sure, it’s not as high profile as it would be if the write up was about your site, but it’s better than nothing

Nicholas Roussos has some easy steps for how to achieve this in the rest of his article, How-To Get Slashdotted, The Easy Way.
