The New Digg For Online Marketers- Sphinn.com
July 17, 2007 by Pablo Palatnik
THE NEWEST SOCIAL MEDIA NEWS site for online marketers is out! Sphinn.com. Sphinn.com was created by Danny Sullivan from Search Engine Land. The site has the look and feel of the blog actually but I have to say, I really do like it compared to all the Digg-like sites out there like my personal own Sojjo.com. It basically has all the same functionalities as Digg and will replace the comments from SEL.
We saw this a few months back with Bumpzee but I believe this will really take off and fast and word keeps spreading (not to say that Sphinn and Bumpzee is the same concept but similar in some ways).
I’m not sure what front page traffic Sphinn home page can generate towards your site/blog, but maybe I’ll find out soon. If you know, please share.
Great Idea. Most of us in the industry now have blogs and what better place to get exposure than a place where the industry will go. Should be a good place to network as well.

Great resource, Pablo, thanks for sharing.
I don’t know if it will generate traffic, but it will definitely help online marketers find the latest news. I know that’s what I’ll be using it for.
I will update the blog post with the number of visits from Sphinn
What I meant, of course, is that I don’t know if it will generate a LOT of traffic. Presumably, it will generate at least some traffic…especially if it becomes a “go to” source for online marketing news.

How much traffic are you seeing from Sphinn?

The first day I believe i had about 25-35 visits on the home page…since than, probably a week or so now. Ever since, it can go anywhere from 2 visits to 7 visits a day. Even through the upcoming stories as well.
I was fortunate that one of my stories got 47 visits. Since then I average about the same as you per day.
