Talking Why you should Use Yahoo buzz

why you have to use Yahoo Buzz

Yahoo Buzz is a new community driven news content website from yahoo. It has combined the features of both the syndication & social bookmarking through user interfaces and simultaneously, allowing better editorial control to the users. With Buzz, users are permitted to publish news articles or links from their own website or links of another person's website containing complete story. Buzzing links allow the traffic to increase on a website.Its pretty much similar to Digg but less spammed and has more featurs than it


Well I found a nice article in a blog about it here is article

Popularity of the brand 'Yahoo'
Although Yahoo has lost its domination on the web to Google, still it is quite popular amongst web audience. The popularity of brand 'Yahoo' is what can serve well to all webmasters, who look for greater results (in terms of page viewing) from social bookmarking.

Anyone can submit in Yahoo Buzz
From August 18, Yahoo Buzz has opened its doors to everyone for posting their news stories in the community.
Previously, only a handful of invited guests could post a Buzz. Now, promotion of contents through Buzz is open to every one, who is having a Yahoo account.

You are getting better editorial control
If you have been regularly submitting social news contents on social bookmarking sites, you might know the difficulty associated with editorial control of the posts.
Yahoo Buzz has chosen to supplement editorial discretion features for determining headlines, which will reduce gaming. With Buzz, you are getting better editorial control of your posts.

Your stories on Yahoo homepage
There is no denying the fact that traffic of a website will increase, if it can get their way into the homepage of a top search engine. By submitting to Yahoo Buzz, your headline stories will get promoted on Yahoo homepage. Such a method of promotion is sure to provide massive traffic to your domain.

Feature to Buzz Up/Down Stories
Yahoo Buzz allows users to Buzz Up/Down their favorite news content on the web. This simplicity of buzzing contents has allowed various users to get attracted towards this news article website.
12 reasons why you have to use yahoo buzz

Option of emailing your favorite news stories to friends
Yahoo Buzz has simplified the process of sharing news, which you might find interesting, with your friends. Now at the click of a button, you have the option of emailing your favorite news stories to all your Yahoo friends.

Share buzzed story on other platforms of Social Bookmarking
Yahoo Buzz also gives you the scope of sharing all the stories you have buzzed on other top-ranked social bookmarking platforms. Thus, it has simplified the process of social networking for most website owners.

Simple procedure of Buzz ranking
Yahoo Buzz gives your news article a Buzz ranking on simple procedures. Based on a simple Buzz Score, your story gets ranked. The scoring of a news article is done on the basis of: Presence of popular search terms in the content, Number of Votes given to the content and Number of Buzz Up/Down done on the same.
Ranking in Yahoo Buzz, which regularly gets updated, can give you a fair idea about the quality of your content and the amount of viewers accessing it.

Buzz is still social
There have been several surveys (online) characterizing Buzz to be not social. However, experts say that though it might not be having the democratic features of its competitors, Yahoo Buzz is still social.
Experts feel that since the pattern of scoring at Buzz involves presence of popular term in the content, it is the audience, who are directing the contents in the website. Again, audiences are also the only ones, who vote/buzz on stories. Hence, it is social in all respect and giving you the power to decide on the faith of your news content.

Integrating Search for specific audience
At Yahoo Buzz, the simple principle of giving high ranks to social news, which are hot with the audience and capturing their imagination, is applied. By using such principles as their unique popularity factor, Buzz has ensured that the contents posted in the domain are popular and current.

Buzz is going to have all Abuzz
By becoming a member or a reader of this community based social news network, you are getting the breath and the quality of Yahoo News along with 100 quality publishers from around the web. Again, you are also allowed to have your own say in exposure of social news in the domain.

Current figures of Yahoo Buzz
Even if after going through all the factors you are not satisfied with Buzz, the one thing that will surely make you think otherwise is the current statistics. Yahoo Buzz is currently getting almost 40% US audiences, who visit News Aggregator Websites regularly, in comparison to Digg (that ranks second in the list), which is currently getting 33%.

Going with the current trend, Yahoo Buzz is perfect tool for seeing your social news website receive massive traffic in a short time.

I hope you guys like the thread!! If so Just Hey
