Link Building: I Ask You, What Is Yahoo! Buzz?
Throughout some of the various blogs I read I always noticed a button labeled Yahoo! Buzz at the end of each post, but I never knew what exactly is was until now. Kind of like Digg, Yahoo! Buzz allows its users to determine what are the most “remarkable” stories and videos around on the Internet. By voting for a particular article or video that you think is “remarkable” it will give that article the attention it deserves. Basically, Yahoo! Buzz showcases the best of the best voted by us everyday people as instead of editors, the Yahoo! users get to decide what is the best story / video out there on the Internet and these becomes to top-rated stories / videos around. Thus, you can see the resemblance to Digg and how Digg works.
According to Yahoo! Buzz’s website here it how it works:
- First, we determine the most popular topics that people are searching for on Yahoo!.
- Then, we showcase the most popular stories within those topics, based on activities like voting and emailing stories to friends.
- Stories with most Buzz may be published on the Yahoo! home page - you can impact what millions will see on Yahoo!.
You can also email any top story / video that you think is interesting to your friends as well as download Yahoo! Buzz widgets for your website. And, they even have a buzz log to show you what everyone is “talking” about on the Internet. It looks like this will be a very useful site for Yahoo!’s users. Now the question to answer is; which will be more popular: Yahoo! Buzz or Digg?
