hi i have just come across scoop it http://www.scoop.it/t/gastric-band-hypnotherapy which is a magazine site where you can post items and news and i would like to know if anyone is using this to generate traffic for their site and generate links.

I cam across it after finding out that links were coming to my site from the network and this morning i have signed up as a free member to try it but there are paid options. I would like to know if anyone is using it and how successful it has been for them

Sites like that can benefit you in 2 ways.

1. Just as another link back to your website.

2. As a piece of content valuable for the community.

The 2nd option is more preferable. Write something that has value to the audience of that website and link back to your website, if your site is related. You put yourself in the same ecosystem, and have a high chance to increase the conversions.

Thanks for that. Are there other sites like that out there as i would like to write a number of articles to try and increase our profile and at the same time gain a link

I recently wrote a guide to link building and traffic generation using Scoop.it

http://www.rootswebsolutions.com/social-media/content-curation-web-traffic-scoopit/

It's just been promoted to the Scoop.it's own account.

There are people on Scoop.it who already receive hundreds of page views per day to their pages.

So by suggesting your own content to their page you have a chance that your post will be accepted and a good percentage of their fellow Scoopers will come flooding to your site and re-scoop your page to their followers and other social networks too.

chris just been reading your info on the link your provided. can you tell me more as what i do not understand is, do you post all the content from a page. so if i had a page on my site about losing weight with smoothies, would i post the whole article or just part of it and then have a link back to my site for people to read the rest of it.
