Wondering... 10 Months ago Karma: 1  
Why does it sometimes take MANY hours before my article is added to the site?

This makes planning my writing life kind of difficult, especially if writing on a hot news topic, where timing can be everything for hits through stuff like Digg, SubmitIt, and Reddit. Once there are three hundred other articles submitted to these places on hot topics, you just dont get the hits you could if you were one of the first ten or twenty.

If it's because you manually check every single entry, this is going to result in serious publication delay as more people join, and ultimately can only be bad for the site.

As it is, I need to go to bed, and my newest article will be old news before I can get on site again late, late tonight and add it to all the social bookmarkers. If I add an old hat topic to them THEN, I'll get buried by people who are tired of the many articles about the topic, so I won't even bother to submit it, thus my chances of it making any google dough are zero to none.

Yep, I'm griping. But this is kind of annoying.

Hello,
I am new to speakaboutit. How long have you been a member? Any tips for getting writing exposure?

j3nny3lf,

Articles can sometime take a long time to publish depending on how many other articles were submitted at the same time. If you have an article that needs immediate attention, like a breaking news story, PM me to let me know it's been, or is going to be submitted. That way I can give priority to your submission.

We only have two people editing articles, so please be patient with them. Also try to bear in mind that I am personally assisting many users throughout the day, so things can get backed up at times. The best time to reach me is between 10AM and 10PM. Please type "Urgent" in the first line of your message if you need to alert me of a hot news item.

To answer mjackson's question: The best way to gain exposure is to Digg and Stumble your articles, make friends on the site, post links to your articles in the forum, and email links to your friends and family.

Also, I'm going to write a keyword tutorial very soon, which will show you how to properly keyword an article so it has a better chance of being seen on Google.

Adam
