Any pro-active submissions to social networks can only do good, but marginally so if the content of your site is below par. Subitting a standard made-for-adsense website to a social network is spamming IMO.

Thanks for the informative article. So far I’ve not submitted any of my posts, however none of my posts get submitted, and yet I think they’re of good quality . . . I’m a newcomer to blogging so not sure what to do!

I’ve discovered the following through my own experience:

1) Proactivity is rewarded.

2) Anybody making an effort to promote their content will gain more exposure.

3) If you choose to be proactive and social post, you will be judged (especially by onreact - hehe).

4) Most people who read your post can you can see right through your intentions. If you have a solid moral imperative and good intention, social posting sites will err in your favor.

6) The vast majority of social posting sites are designed to ’separate the wheat from the shaft’ so to speak. If you truly believe that your content is the ‘wheat,’ then it doesn’t matter who does the posting (you or somebody else) because it belongs there.

I think for a newbie it is alright to start out posting links to a site you are affiliated with, as long as it is relevant and not spam.
