While blog articles can and do make it to the front page of Digg, it's a rare occasion. As bloggers craving traffic, we want to hit the front page even though it makes our blogs inaccessible for hours due to hundreds of connections that happen all at once.
BloggingZoom is all about the bloggers. As the blog author that knows what content you want submitted, it's no problem if you want to submit your own articles. They won't be marked as spam solely for that reason. Since bloggers have better things to do, unlike the 12-year olds that live at Digg, they won't be hitting our blogs all at the same time and driving our servers into submission.

I agree 100% with all of your tips. I love to read the upcoming posts board, but it's a little frustrating to see someone with 15 submitted and 15 zoomed showing up. There's not so much of that now, but it was bad for a while.
I really like BZ and so don't want it to turn into Digg (though the popularity thing wouldn't be so bad). Great post.

I just started hanging around here and, while there is some room for improvement, I like the atmosphere here a lot better than Digg. Of course, my interests are more towards blogs.
I'm looking forward to participating here and see where this ship goes. :-)
BZ has already helped me nearly double my traffic from last month. But it does take some work. You have to participate by not only submitting but also reading other people's articles and Zooming other articles. There are a lot of people who just Zoom without reading. If I Zoom your article I guarantee you that I have read it and that I feel it is worth a Zoom.
I would suggest that you not just Zoom away at any and every article. Zoom the ones you feel deserve it and leave comments about it whether you liked it or not. If people aren't getting Zooms they probably want to know why.
