I've been blogging away on other sites, working to promote my fandom and other online activities. I must confess I've found Delicious, Digg, NetVibes, Squidoo and StumbleUpon very handy for bumpage purposes. Bloglines and Wikio have given me fantastic opportunities to raise my websites' search engine results to the front page in every case.
But there's trouble in paradise. You see, the things I've been doing for the old blatant self-promotion thing is basically an abuse of the system. Hands up, I admit it, I knew what I was doing at the time, but I didn't think I'd be... well... caught. Digg has been flagged about the fandom wikis I tried to insinuate into their news feed. The trouble is, that's all they've got: news articles, pictures or videos, which rather narrows the options for where to post stuff about blogs or articles that basically aren't news. A shameless self-promotion section would be the answer, but that's basically spam - or is it? Blogs and self-owned wikis, Squidoo and sites like that are usually used for those purposes...
Dang! I want to get the word out about my stuff without getting into trouble for it! Suggestions are welcome.
