   Hey folks,

   We're going to try this again. It's very simple but the benefits to us all in terms of exposure and traffic could be significant. Anyone who's not sure about what to do or how to do it is welcome to post questions, technical or otherwise (or get in touch with me, I'll help if I can)

   Here are the rules as they stand so far:

   0. We recommend adding the 'AddThis' Toolbar to your browser before you start, it seems to be the most reliable and easy way to submit and vote for content on sites such as these (an many others besides). It's very simple to use.

   1. Everyone who wants to participate joins StumbledUpon, Digg and Reddit, and adds buttons for those to their blog (If people can't find your buttons, they may not be able to vote for you!)

   2. In each campaign, we all add our link* with a short description (use the meta tag for your post perhaps, or the first couple of sentances) and suggested categories for submission (eg business, technology, personal development etc)

   *No overtly affiliate promotions or business opportunity posts.

   3. As we add our link, numbering it along the way (as with the commenting campaigns) we go to the previous poster's site and submit their post to the agreed bookmarking sites. The following poster does the same for us etc. Poster #1 will submit the links of #10 (10 posters this campaign while we get things running, this number may go up in later campaigns)

   4. Once Poster #1 has submitted the last link, all submissions are ready to be voted for by simply clicking the buttons. Of course, you don't have to do them all at once, but they will not all be ready for voting until the final submission has been made.

   So - let's go!

   Hi everyone,

   here's my request:

   Could I get you to bookmark my German page on my blog that contains all my German videos ?

   Here's the url that redirects to this page: http://deutsche-mlm-videos.de/

   Description: "Deutsche MLM Videos - Auf dieser Blogseite findet Ihr alle meine MLM und Network Marketing Videos thematisch nach Playlists geordnet - alles rund um die Generierung von kostenlosen MLM und Network Marketing Leads im Internet."

   Tags:"Home-Business, Entrepreneurship"

   Please make sure that you choose the right language on Stumbleupon: German/deutsch

   If you feel more comfortable to bookmark an English post, no worries, take that one: http://www.askolivertausend.com/2011/05/relationship-building-networking-bloggers-leaving-quality-comments/

   Description:"Relationship Building Through Networking With Bloggers And Leaving Quality Comments"

   Categories:"Home-Business, Entrepreneurship."

   Thanks in advance !

   Cheers

   Oliver

   OK, I will submit both of Olivers, so anyone can choose which they wish to view and vote on.

   #2 - my submission: http://jymtarrant.com/copywriting-story-of-a-sign

   It's already been voted onto Reddit and Stumbled, so who ever's next need only submit it to Digg

   Description:
   Sometimes it’s simply not enough to merely put your message across. As a blogger, you may well be keen to create an emotional connection, or paint vivid, living pictures in the minds of your readers using the power of words. Success in this will radically improve the response from your readers, visitors and subscribers. these beautiful viral videos illustrate teh point to perfection.

   Topics:
   copywriting, writing, blogging, marketing, (lifestyle on Digg and 'video' as the medium)

   Thanks all! Again any questions, feel free to ask. I might add that it's great if anyone wished to submit and vote on our posts on other sites too - Blokube is one that springs to mind.

    @Stacy ... Thanks! I had the same issues with reddit. I'll keep trying throughout the day.

    @Ian ...Your post was already in Digg. Maybe somebody else submitted it? As you mentioned it was already in StumbleUpon as well. I'll keep trying to put it in to reddit :)

    As of 7:00PM reddit is working again ...well sorta. While trying to submit Ian's content I am getting following error code:

    an error occurred while posting (status: 502)

    Anyone else encounter this problem???

    I will keep trying through the evening though :)

    Hi everyone,

    well, this campaign is closed for new submissions. As I was the first, i go now to Tim's post and submit it. Then I will vote on the others.

    @jym: Thanks for submitting both. This page is now spot #1 for the keyword "deutsche network marketing videos" (=German network marketing videos) on Goggle. Pretty awesome, before a German MLM coach who gets thousands of views on this YouTube videos.

    @all: Reddit is kind of weird. They won't let us submit stuff and vote for it several times in a row. So I am done with everybody's submissions and votes apart from Reddit.

    @Oliver ....

    Reddit is really a weird one. I just can't figure it out.

    After all the problems I had with the site not letting me log in all afternoon, I was finally able to submit Ian's post late last night.

    This morning I am trying to vote for your submissions but it's not working properly. Here's what happens...

    If I am not logged in to the site and just click on your reddit button on your blog post it forwards me to the site to login. After I log in the screen for the submission (with the fields pre-filled in) appears. In order to get to the next page I have to fill in the Captcha and after clicking "submit" it tells me ....

    "You've submitted too many links recently. Please try again in an hour."

    If I do get through at all then after clicking the "up arrow" to vote it takes the vote off the existing vote. For example on your English blog submission there was 1 vote. After I clicked on the up arrow it displayed "0". Totally weird.

    @All .... Is anyone else experiencing the same thing or am I the only one that can't figure reddit out?

    @Ilka: It seems that they don't allow many votes and submissions in a short period of time. When it took a vote off the count, I guess it took your own vote off and not somebody else's. So my guess is that you submitted this post and/or voted on it already before.

    I didn't have any technical issues with them, only these little warnings...

    @Oliver: Thank you, for responding so quickly! As long as I took my own vote off and not somebody else's (which would make me feel terrible) I guess it's alright as I can always add it again :)

    Hello Everyone! I've finished voting on everyone's post...

    @JYM I'm sorry I still have the issues that prevent me from voting your blog posts. It's a shame but I've got to live with it for now. I'm hoping to get it resolved very soon.

    @ALL is it possible that everyone install "addthis" wordpress plugin on their blogs? For people like me who have problem with the little buttons...just a suggestion.

    Have you experienced increase traffic to your blog as a result of this bookmarking campaign?

    @Tim ...To answer your question about an increase in traffic, no, I haven't seen any yet. But then it may take a little while :)

    @Jane ...Yes, this campaign is ready for voting. It has been closed already although there weren't 10 posts (submissions)

    @All ... You all have a great Mother's Day! :)

    Thanks all for getting this moving. I think it'w worth trying for a while to see what happens.

    @Oliver - congrats on the #1 rank - Hope it proves profitable for you!

    @Tim - Not your fault mate. I'll try adding the plugin you suggest - if there's no negative effects I'll leave it on there. Will do that later today, we'll see if it helps...

    @All - Looks like we're going with the campaigns by date, not by number, though I would like to see more participants, I think maybe this way is best for now. We can also take to voting for each other's posts when we visit them to comment as a habit, which won't hurt at all, and personally I'm happy to vote for other sites - Blokube etc...

    Cheers everyone!

    Just to clarify - we haven't actually been following the rules as written above (sorry) re: waiting for 10 participants in each campaign. Maybe we should rewrite rule 4. -

    4. Approximately 24 hours after the campaign has been open, the initiator closes it and submits the final entrant's links. Then everyone can complete their voting whenever they're ready (preferably within a day or so).

    Please note that you may vote at any time, it makes marginally more sense to wait until all posts are submitted before doing so, but there's no reason why you have to wait until all posts are in before voting.

    @Jym: Thanks for the clarification :-)

    @all: I would suggest the following: As soon as we get safely 10 or more participants on a regular basis, we should change the rules according the commenting campaigns. What does everybody else think ?

    I think this is number 9. LOL..

    As a suggestion, another POWERFUL bookmarking tool is Ping.fm.

    I usually use Ping and manually submit to Stumble and Digg.

    My request...

    This post describes what exactly a Weight Loss Challenge is and how it will help people find one in their local area. The value here is the network that is being created to help business owners in this niche get noticed. It is a free directory that offers tons of value.

    Just realized Oliver said this campaign was closed. Hope you all find the time to vote since I already bookmarked everyone sites to at least 20 sites.

    There are lots of comments in between the posts and it seemed like there was only 8 or 9 posts (there were not numbers next to all)

    Thanks everyone! :)
