Help EP, links cross posting, ratings

Submitted by on

Everyone, to get more participation, readers, people aware of EP's existence, please help out with a few things:

1. On other sites, if you are referencing a post, especially if you have posted it on many sites, link to the EP version in the comment.

2. If you have a blog roll and on dailykos everyone has a blog roll, add EP to it.

3. Join Technorati and "fav" EP. They rank blogs and we are really moving up but hardly any "favs" in user accounts.

4. please use the cross post link in the user guide to link back to EP. Also remember, please change your blog title and if you put this cross post link at the top of your blog, the news aggregators and blog aggregators will not punish you for cross linking.

How the EP Promotion/Demotion Rating System Works

Submitted by on

The Economic Populist has a content promotion and demotion system. Literally your vote can push an Instapopulist, or forum post to the front page or remove a blog post from the front page.

In other words, EP registered users control the content on the site, including the publication and placement of the content.

If enough people vote down a post, it will be unpublished, in other words, removed from the site.

When a post is unpublished, all comment trees attached to that post are also unpublished.

EPers please use the content system when you see an obvious spammer or someone posting a promotional item for another website, glorified advertising! These are hand spammers and they try to get free advertising as well as manipulate site rankings by spamming other sites with their advertisements. These posts are not real bloggers, so please treat them as such.
