Are You Doing the Yahoo Buzz Yet?

Pamela Gardapee
Yahoo Buzz has launched for everyone to use and enjoy. This type of voting is similar to dig but the potential is much higher for articles to be seen by millions. The idea of this little widget is to attract more readers to your particular page. By placing the widget with the title in the ArticleURL field on your post, people can click the widget and give your page a vote. It works so much like digg, but has been proven to be easier and better. Since the launch, Yahoo Buzz has seen more traffic than it expected.

The widget is easy to install after each post with the URL inserted for each post. It is so easy to use that anyone can do it. The nice thing is that you can get many votes for that particular post and make it to the front page of yahoo. This will help build traffic to your site. The idea behind the Yahoo Buzz does sound like digg, but more people will search Yahoo than digg or even Google. What this means is that your posts are going to get noticed. How much easier does that get.

To participate and join the Yahoo Buzz, you just need to have a yahoo account, which is easy to sign up for. If you have Yahoo mail, you are already a member of Yahoo. The same holds true for Yahoo Messenger accounts. Once you have a yahoo account, you can get the little Yahoo Buzz widget and install it on each of your posts with the URL of the article inserted. Make sure to change the URL every time you make a new post. It is simple to do and use. Now you will have a new way to promote your articles.

Joining the Yahoo Buzz, means that after you make a post, you can then click the little widget and enter your post on Yahoo. Invite readers to click the Yahoo Buzz button and cast their vote for your post. The more votes you have, the better your chances of making it to the front page. It is also a good idea to use some strong keywords in your title and article. This little widget is going to take the Internet far. Google will not be able to complete with Yahoo now that the Buzz is in full swing. See what all the Buzz is about and start promoting traffic to your blog.
