This was pure shameless self-promotion but it did give me quite a good range and coverage so I did it for a decent two months until I realized that if people checked out my account, they would see that I am only submitting my blog posts to these sites so it might have looked suspicious. I stopped doing it after that as I had more readers and hopefully they would help me get on digg or stumblupon =D Back when my blog first started out I used to digg, reddit, del.ici.ous, stumblupon, and mixx every post I made.
