The Top Social News Sites on the Web (science experiments)
No commentsBy Shawn Wilson
Well there are a ton of social news sites and for those of you that don’t know what I am talking about this is basically a site that allows users to post news articles, photos, videos.
In most cases the sites then have the users vote on which articles should appear on the more visible pages within the site. Here are some of the more popular examples. Digg, Mixx, Reddit, Propeller, Fark and the list goes on. The question is which one is the best site, first off this really is a matter of opinion that being said you can’t argue with the numbers.
As far as overall traffic is concerned Digg is hugely popular at the time of this article Digg has a 237 Alexa rank meaning it is arguably the 237 most popular site on the planet, that’s huge! Digg also has one of the cleanest sites of the bunch and is quite easy to use. Even with these two impressive stats Digg can really suck at times because the site is controlled by a select few that insist on making only the articles that they post popular.
These days unless your article is about anything green, Obama (Positive), Palin/McCain (Negative), technology or Apple products you don’t have a hope in hell of seeing one of your posts hitting the infamous Digg front page. The next inline as far as traffic is concerned is Mixx which currently has a 1,104 Alexa rank still a very popular site. Mixx doesn’t get the traffic but the articles are much more balanced and the site while not quite as clean as Digg is still quite pleasing to the eyes. Reddit has been called the Social News Site for adults and while the posts are usually quite good the interface can honestly give you a headache, great content horrible site. Propeller and Fark run into some of the same issues but are decent.
Bottom line I think Mixx in time will get the traffic that Digg has and as long as they don’t let a few select users take over the site the future looks bright! You also have a choice of visiting some Internet Dating sites which have a news section. There is no doubt that this market will grow and more and more examples of these popular sites will start popping up
Good luck, this stuff is fun to go through so enjoy all of these sites.

Why Every Recruit Should Sell?
By Lou Casali
The concept of almost all MLM or network marketing is to create more distributors and more sales.
Let us consider a simple example from a typical MLM plan to create 10 down lines. Each distributor is known as a recruit or down line and they are supposed to each make target sales and target recruitment.
When this continues down the chain, the sales increases exponentially to the company and there is regular flow of income to the company. The regular flow of income to the company is dependent upon the regular consistent performance of each recruit right from distributor one.
– Distributor one recruits 10 people.
– Each of the 10 people sell and recruit further 10.
– So, at this point in time there should be 1 + 10 + 100 recruits which are 111 distributors which should further go down the lane and contribute to the sale.
If the recruits are not selling, where will the money be generated from?
If after recruiting 10 people, distributor one is stopping his process of selling and recruiting then at this stage the real performing asset to the company is just the 10 primary down lines
Only 10 performers out of 11 distributors are performing. The company is feeding the first distributor from the performance of other people after he stops working
Now, if the next 10 recruiters stop performing after a certain stage there will be only 100 performers out of 111 members. And the company is requiring to feeding 11 distributors even if they are not performing because they are the up line even after they stop working.
When this happens down the lane the number of people that are getting fed without performing or working increases in number; until a certain stage, it will be possible for the company to pay someone without them performing, but when the number of non performers increase with a growing number of down lines, there will be a kind of trouble for the company in compromising on many facts to have the up lines paid. This is one of the major reasons for the bubble bursts in most MLM or perhaps the loss of sales or saturation or whatever critics call it.
Let us look at it the other way! What if each of the up line continues to sell even after they have completed their recruit target; and, what if each of the recruits continues to sell even after they have done their target down lines. There will be regular flow of money to the company and the company will not have to forge or underpay someone or overpay someone.
They will be sharing money just in the right way.
The problems with most multilevel marketing systems is that performers go greedy after a certain stage and they want money automatically coming in, which will not happen unless one has a magic wand. Smart Work = True Value Riches.
If someone is going to tell you, that you will make millions after a few years if you put good down lines, they are rather bluffing.
Think, practically. So you sow, so you reap.
What you sow this year can give you only one harvest!
If you should harvest again you have to sow again!
Network marketing is a life time process and as long as you work you benefit. The day you stop working the money coming in declines slowly.
Can you live if you stop breathing?
