I will be writing a monthly column for Danny Sullivan’s Search Engine Land as part of their Let’s Get Social weekly feature. My first column ran today is titled How To Win Friends And Influence People In Social News Networks:
Still wondering why you submit an article on Digg or Reddit and it goes nowhere? The key, as with most things in life, is who you know. But as with links, clients or affiliates: you want quality over quantity. You want people who are active and have strong profiles. So how do you go about building your network? Here are 11 ways to get started.
I wrote this article to give people some real tried and true ways as to how to build stronger profiles and networks on the social news sites. Don’t forget the social part in social media 
Check out the article here or the discussion here on Sphinn.com and look out for my monthly column at Search Engine Land.

Great article for beginners and veterans alike. Social networking is more of an art – and takes effort. Don’t be artificial. Be yourself, and help others out if you are able, and they are likely to return the favor.
Thanks Malok. ‘Be yourself’ is always a good thing to remember!
