Sadly, having great content doesn’t mean that you’re going to get big traffic on your blog. Sure, there’s sites as such as delicious, StumbleUpon or digg but reaching their homepage isn’t that easy. Here’s an easier and more relevant way to promote your WordPress blog.
Some of you may remeber that last year, I created a website called WpVote. It was another "Digg-like" site, but dedicated to everything WordPress.
Sadly, the Pligg cms wan't that great and the site quickly became a total spam farm. Users left and I had to admit that this project, even if it was a good idea, was a failure.
Though, I'm not the kind of guy to give up easily. Over the last weeks, I decided to re-create the site, this time using only WordPress. Which means that I just created a "Digg-like" site within WordPress. I don't think this was done before.
So, if you want to promote your blog posts (about WordPress only), don't hesitate to join us and submit your posts!

you can download any Social bookmarking sites Open source and customize it as your wish.. (if you need that immediatly) but doing it in wordpress is really appreciable..
Sounds great. Digg is just too damn big. If you were to read just the articles hitting the frontpage you’d have to spend at least 3-4 hours a day doing just that. I’m glad you did something like that for WP – it has a lot of potential.
Great idea, I never think of this before. I am going to try it out. Thanks.
Sorry, I forgot to say that any WpVote entry must be in English only. This rule has been choosen by users of the first version.
“I had to admit that tgis project”- correct it to this please.
Cool, are the old login’s valid or does one have to start over?
@WPCult: No, you have to re-create an account due to the platform change. Thanks for your interrest!
It’s go to see that you have decided to revamp it. It’s very hard to make popular digg/pligg like sites. I will join for sure, and try it…
Nice
Will check that out!!!
thanks!!!
If only it was also a french part
!
Great website. I just signed up. I hope that will be a success blog like this wprecipes.
Unluckily I do not write about WordPress. But can you tell us how you did it. Eager to know.
This sounds amazing. It’d be nice to have something like this dedicated only to WP stuff. Can’t wait.
Yeah, I definitely give props do WPVote. I’ve only submitted 2 of my articles there and have received over 200 uniques from it. Good stuff.
@WordPress themes: Glad to hear that! You totally deserve the traffic you get, our members loves your posts!
Thanks for having this. I’ve just registered with Wpvote.com have submitted one article. Now waiting for it to get live
oh wow. I’d love to know how you did it so I can open my mommy blog directory without using phpLinkdirectory ( i hate the script ).
Hey Jean, thanks for the info! I would certainly check out wpvote, and try submitting few articles… Sounds interesting.
this will be alot of muc help to new to this whole wordpress thing.
I see that there haven’t been any new posts for quite some time. I think this was a great idea and am sorry to see that it doesn’t seem to be active any longer.
Nice
Will check that out!!!
