A good buzz might give you a hangover
Common knowledge, right?
So what exactly might happen if you have the buzz to end all buzzes today? What I mean is what might happen if the Yahoo Buzz editors happen to choose your website as the top story and post it to the front page of Yahoo?
Did you stop to think about it?
Yes, this is a good problem to have, but understand, if you are going to be a regular contributor to Yahoo Buzz, your website needs to be ready. Ready for the traffic that might come if you are the lucky pick of the day.
Because most small time shared hosting accounts are just not going to cut it. Buzz now has 5 MILLION users. Multiply that many times to figure out how many users hit the front page of Yahoo…
A link there could mean 500,000 page views to your website. In a day.
One day. Half a million visits. Cool. But only if your server can handle it. Our suggestion is that if you have a website that is getting a lot of buzz, you need to prepare for the deluge. You need to consider your hosting situation and make sure you have what it takes to be that top story.
Because that’s what it’s all about. The idea is to land that prestigious link on the home page. You just need to make sure your site can handle it.
It’s cool to party. But getting your buzz on without responsible planning might just give you and your website a hangover. Plan for the day, and check your capacity when it comes to your website. Because if you are providing a good resource and quality content, your buzz very well might be on the front page. Sooner than you think.
