The biggest question I have is "can I trust my answer?". Who is answering the question and what is the source of their answer has me puzzled. I installed the Muchobene widget, then asked and answered questions. Several "test" questions were answered incorrectly. During the session, I learned that the person answering had no knowledge on the subject I requested. I also could have answered my requests inaccurately, had I chosen to do so. If I need instant, reliable information, I am not certain that this is the best way to get it. Interesting concept, but crowd-sourcing seem not reliable. I have tried this service with mixed results.

This posts was written to explain some web marketers that they don't have to spam Digg or other social sites. Appearance on the front page will never make you a fortune.

Read the post more slowly. As described here http://www.rimmkaufman.com/rkgblog/2007/06/25/water-balloon/ the stunt was done entirely to show how a post could get dugg. Two takeaways: [1] Unqualified traffic doesn't stick. No surprise there. [2] Reaching homepage of digg (we hit homepage of youtube for 10 minutes as well) is trivially easy if a Digg power user is involved. It is all you who know. In my case, Neil Patel (a nice guy, and an distant industry pal from the conf speaking circuit) gave it the first digg, and that was enough. The social media sites aren't democracies; they're autocracies, controlled by a small cabal of power users. Wikipedia, etc. I off no opinion as to whether that is good or bad, it just is the way it is. Digg for the sake of digg is just games. Linkbait for the sake of linkbait is just games. Great online marketing is the same as great traditional PR -- do something notable, have a worthy story to tell, have a message that is so noteworthy that people want to hear it and share it. Godin. Sernowitz. etc. Cheers Alan Hi Sergey –

Blog readers click banners more often than visitors of a regular website." Interesting article - I wasn't aware of the above point being true as I always thought banners had extremely low click through rates. Is this based on your experience or research you've come across? “To increase clickable field it is better to use banners instead of text links.
